Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Hakeem Dawodu to win – 1.41.
Hakeem is in good form and has celebrated victory in all his past meetings. The only exception was his fight with Movsar Evloev. Erosa, in our opinion, is not as fast, tough and efficient in standup. If Dawodu manages to avoid the take-downs, he will win the fight.
Hakeem has had 15 fights and suffered only two defeats. He has a Muay Thai and kickboxing background which helps him to be as effective as possible in standup. After defeating Zubaira Tukhugov, he fought Movsar Yevloyev, but in that encounter the strength was unequal and Hakeem lost by unanimous decision.
In February this year, Dawodu came back and defeated Mike Trizano. The Canadian is frankly weak on the ground, so he avoids the take-downs at all costs. At the same time, Hakeem has good stamina and can work all three rounds at the same pace.
Dawodu’s last four fights have come down to the announcement of the judges’ notes.
Julian appears to be more experienced than his opponent as he has 38 fights under his belt, 28 of which he has succeeded in. In his last six fights, the fighter has failed just once. Last September, Erosa defeated Charles Jourdain, but in February, he overcame not without problems, but Steven Peterson.
It should be said that Erosa is a dangerous fighter in the clinch, but at the same time, he misses too much and has lost six times by TKO. In addition, as the fight nears its end, Julian slowed down considerably, making him an easy target for many of his opponents.
