He’s unbeaten but the only name on his record that I recognised was Robin Zamora where he got a SD win. Zamora previously fought below Feather and lost to Gavin McDonnell. He also came over last year and was Ko’d in the second by Pierce O Leary.

I think Azim wins in the first round or two.

Vanilla Ice needs a slap

Jesus a weight div or two between these

Azim’s very good. Big difference in ability and size here. At least Reyes has come to roll over.

Azim will get chinned when he meets a decent fighter

Not the worst match up at this stage of Azim's career but horrendous they would even put this top of the bill

Barry McGuigan got his mate on the blower sorting the cab to Canterbury for curry and ladies underwear to finish the night.

He needs better opposition than this as he just has no respect for what’s coming back. Could pick up some bad habits.

Dalton Smith should get him next, fantastic prospect, but showing some rawness and vulnerability here.
Hasn't lost a round mind...

What happened in the main event?

First few rounds I thought “what is even the point of this” now looks like he’s gonna learn something.

He’s very focused on controlling that range, makes it hard to really follow through so maybe he hasn’t hit him full whack yet

Reyes coming more into it but still getting battered really

Won every minute and looked great, but run out of ideas when he doesn't get the KO.
Dubois vs KingPin kinda thing.

Going back to that Dubois stoppage earlier that was atrocious from Howard Foster, Dubois never landed a punch when he mercifully stepped in

Has anyone changed their opinion slightly?

He did everyone a favour,.overmatched opponent and a complete waste of time, much like the entire card. That's a few hours of my life I'll never get back.

Na. He chose to box.

He needed the rounds. Needed the 10 rounds.

It’s good blasting opponents out. But when you step up, you’re not gonna be able to do that.

Azim looked like a poor man's Malignaggi vs a tomato can half his size.

100-89 Azim obviously, Reyes tough, durable, tried his best but too small and wasn't sharp enough to give Azim any real problems although he did get though with the occasionial sneaky shot, Azim guilty of leaving his chin in the air and hands too low, Azim super quick , lightening jab, good right hands and lead left hooks, landed some wicked shots to the body as well walked Reyes onto a right hand in round 2 which short circuited his legs before he collapsed to the canvas, never really looked like getting Reyes out of there after though despite dominating all night, really good variety, movement and punch picking, maybe a bit one paced but a good 10 rounds under the belt and his engine was perfectly fine

Keep him away from headline slots just yet though

Aye it wasn't great tbh, the Denny/Pauls and Chelli/Sims fights were good match ups but ended up too one sided, credit to Denny and Chelli I suppose but not massively entertaining, Riley vs Taj was shaping up to be fight of the night bit got stopped early on the cut to Taj ,I mentioned above nothing wrong with Reyes as an opponent for Azim but not a bill topper in a million years

adam looks very talented , but sometimes like he's focusing too much on trying to look good and flashy rather than just letting things come and looking good in the process. a bit like josh kelly

going the distance in this type of fight is no real worry at all, probably could use it tbh. needs to know he's not just gonna blast everyone out with big shots and has to have another plan and set up his shots

Agree. His defence is leakier than i would like at this stage, hopefully he'll have learned some things from that.

I think Boxxer are wasting their time upping Azim.
British, maybe Euro is all I see in his future.
Of course boxers with the right management behind them (like Connor Benn) can skip over anything meaningful and keep fighting sure bet wins.

Andy Clarke is one of the best lead commentators in the country, can't fault him but I miss Adam
