Im surprised theres been no mention on here of this,2 undefeated Olympians,1 of them American,i thought at least somebody would be banging Warren's drum

Ive only Payano once i think and that was before he beat Moreno to win the WBA title,he was decent from what i remember,Ive seen a lot more of Warren and he's never really impressed but being a 3 time Olympian is nothing to be sniffed at,for me he just seems to be struggling to adapt to the pro game,probably due to his lack of pop in his punches,i havent seen him in a while mind so maybe he's been learning to sit on his shots a bit more

This Sunday for those who didnt know

I've always been on the Warren bandwagon and I believe he will be a big name eventually

Is this card a PBC show tonight?

Yes it is on allegedly & Bounce TV

Warren only has the effective straight left from distance, otherwise he is mainly blazzing fast on the inside where he is slippery in traffic.

Payano basically always throws the same combo with his a pretty round motioned right hook... has some reach on it... followed by the straight left he gradually pushes more and more as the fight progresses. he kind grind with that combo too if it`s effective...meaning he`ll throw right/left/right/left... as long as it lands. The particularity about him is he seems to alway sthrow it from the same position with his opponent. he likes to fire it when his opponent is at 1 or 2 o`clock from him.

IMO the key for Warren would be resisting imposing his speed on the inside where he wi;ll be more suceptible of getting hammered. He should at least resist it for the first half because in the 2nd half, he`ll be too slippery for Payano`s pushed and slowed down left. But he`ll have to be careful with Payano`s hip right hook.

Warren has to play it from distance using the jab, the straight left to the head and body and more importantly use his much superior footwork to create angles and neutralise Payano`s confort spot.

I think Warren can win but he has to have good prep. & execution and more importantly not overcommit on the inside. Payano beat Moreno but it was because of the cut... could he have won the rounds in the second half by maintaining the owrk rate he started with?

We`ll see how he does vs southpaw warren... doubt he can fight at a high enough pace for 12 because warren imo will make him miss a lot.
