Azim vs Reyes: When Adam Azim boxed Santos Reyes on Saturday night, he failed to achieve the knockout that many had come to expect of him.
However, Azim, who was only 20 years old and in his eighth professional bout, decisively defeated Reyes.
In the second round, he also severely hurt the Nicaraguan, and at Wembley Arena, he won by unanimous decision.
Azim thought the “difficult exam passed.”
He continued, “Dropped and dominated Santos Reyes while demonstrating that I can onboard 10 rounds too.”
“Experience cannot be purchased. I learned more from the fight last night than I did from all other battles. Huge admiration for Reyes. He was strong,” after that, Azim stated on social media.
In addition, he mentioned how he battled through a hand injury he sustained in the second round of the fight.
“My scaphoid has a fracture, an X-ray taken after the battle showed,” Azim added.
“Nothing major. After Ramadan, we resume our normal schedule after taking a break.”
Has the performance been up to par?
Was that performance adequate for a prospect with such high expectations? He prefers to win via knockout, wants to compete for a European crown this year, and wants to be one of Britain’s youngest world champions ever.
In the opinion of former super-middleweight world champion George Groves, it was the proper decision for Azim to “get a nice solid 10 rounds under his belt at this moment in his career where he feels like he’s flying, where everything’s moving almost too rapidly for him.”
“He is under tension and strain. An excellent performance that was focused throughout. Enhancements in some areas, shown his punching power by knocking out Reyes in the second round, adding valuable rounds to his resume,” according to Groves.
“He is that kind of an athlete. If they can stay focused and punch hard throughout the entire fight, they’re terrifying fighters to be in with.
“He’s done it for 10 rounds; I have no doubt he can do it for 12. The idea is to promote him to become the nation’s youngest-ever global champion from the United Kingdom. At this point, I wouldn’t bet against it.”
