Tiago Muxanga vs Asinia Byfield

Post by handsofstone »

Tomorrow(Sunday) on DAZN from Essex not sure what the crack is with Muxanga, he's 2-0 with 2 KOs from Mozambique, names first in the poster so not sure if he's the A side here, remember Byfield fighting Cheeseman for the British years ago, wasn't bowled over from memory but he's far more experienced here

really bizarre fight, Byfield has won his last 2, very random.

Does look odd, wonder if Muxanga was an amateur stand out?

I've got a bit of a soft spot for Byfield, he looked great when he beat West Ham boy McNess at the Copper Box a few years ago.

There was a proper ruck in the stands that night, from memory Anthony Yarde's fans gave the Hammers fans a hiding when they kicked off.

Mrs Hangover is a way and I'm off work on Monday and Tuesday, so me and the dog will be watching this card and drinking Chateau Migraine.

That's was a career shortener for both of them. Tremendous scrap.

Muxanga wins a SD, I had him winning 97-92, I can maybe see it a round or 2 closer but never a split in a million years, Muxanga is strong, muscular but not a particularly hard puncher, he puts everything into his shots but is guilty of loading up, Byfield started off southpaw, was being awkward, moving being hard to pin down but was getting through with sneaky shots, round 5 Byfield turned ortho and started holding his feet and catching Muxanga with harder shots and getting himself back into it but 7th Muxanga regained control and finished strong, cranked up the pressure and looked like Byfield was feeling the pace, Byfield got heart though and dug in until the end, Muxanga still clear winner for me, his punches carried more authority
