Boxing Round-Up – Sunny Edwards vs. Muhammad Waseem Review and Fight Analysis
Sunny Edwards vs. Muhammed Waseem
Our Pick: Sunny Edwards
Outcome: Sunny Edwards outclasses and outpoints Waseem to retain the belt.
Southpaw Sunny Edwards made a successful second defense of the IBF flyweight title by scoring a wide 12-round unanimous decision over Muhammad Waseem. This time, at the Duty-Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai on Saturday.
The official scores were 116-110, 115-111, and 115-111. The Ring scored the bout 117-109.
Edwards, who is No. 3 by The Ring at 112 pounds, is often seen as a runner. However, he engaged Waseem a lot more than he had to, particularly in the first half.
It made for exciting action and the defending champ’s improvised counterpunching and defense got the better of the challenger’s robotic offense.
The Aftermath: The Champion looks to unify the rings.
The outspoken Londoner hopes to lure Mexico’s WBC titleholder; Julio Cesar Martinez, into a unification bout.
And we can only hope that things go his way in order to get an exciting match once more when “Showtime” goes back into the ring.
