Very nice fight to watch with exciting middle rounds and final. From the technical point of view Zac still needs a lot of improvements however he is quite impressive as a power puncher and the way he does his body work. I could say without much doubts that almost all the punches he threw were in fact very hard power punches.
Les was really a brave warrior to stand up again in the second round after receiving a quite powerful punch to the liver. Honestly, he has no chances at all against this sort of methodically destroying machine.
In my opinion, if a better technical boxer with reasonable punching power fight against Zac he could be in a real trouble because he is too frontal and exclusively is going just for the kill without minding about being hit if he can hit the opponent. Anyhow, exciting boxer to watch since he is a very good prospect. This fight should qualify for 3 starts
Agreed.
Wild kid. Heavy hitter.
He needs to stay away from Sturm and Germany.
Without a KO he’ll get robbed. Too risky.
Agreed tango.
They need to step him up to at least opponents with good boxing skills. I don’t see Dunn’s boxing skills as lacking. Gets hit way to much and just throws bombs. A reason for that – looks to be quite bigger that his opponent. 190 lbs?
Plenty of fights to be had at 168.
Problem is he is WAY out there in terms of distance to other 168lb fighters. Maybe a match up with Callum Smith in the UK. If Callum’s people are willing to take the risk. (a top 5 vs a barely top 20 )
Will be watching to see what develops.
N010count, I guess you selected the proper opponent for Zac since C. Smith has the right record and credentials to do so but as you said may be too risky for him at this early stage of his career.
