Akkawy is an australian orthodox puncher that grew up in a gym with his dad training fighters. He already has made some good noise on the local scene by scoring brutal KOs.
That big right has done the trick vs what has been pretty soft opposition so far.
Guillermo Ruben Andino is a big super middleweight. He is also untested but has been in tough brawls locally as most prospects from Argentina do early in their careers.
Both inexperienced prospects in their first step up. It will be intriguing to see how each react. Akkawy is used to bigger productions. He has improved straightening his shots a little which will help him in this matchup. Andino will need to close the distance to be successful. This could be a tough fight and Andino has acquired more experience in adversity during his pro career. Akkaway might have to weather a storm, deal with bullying tactics and dig some stamina to control and stop Andino. I'm sure his father/trainer/mentor Mahmoud will have him well prepared.
