Jennings has gone 3-0 vs mediocre ( at best ) opponents since his return from the layoff he took following his KO loss to Luis Ortiz & Dawejko is on a seven-bout unbeaten streak since his competitive points loss to Amir Mansour a couple of years ago. Although two of those contests were draws against less than stellar opposition. Which shows that he still hasn't quite gotten past his tendency to fight down to his opponent's level. So, although Jennings should be a clear favorite in this one, it's a good opportunity for Dawejko to rise to the occasion & perhaps put himself into the world ratings.
It will definitely be interesting to see if Jennings is still world class while battling a tough, skilled, ( hopefully ) very motivated opponent. Just as it will be intriguing to see how Dawejkp responds to another big opportunity. On paper, it looks like a damned good contest is on tap for the end of next month. And, I, for one, am looking forward to it.

ill bet he just mainly covers up and if he goes the distance ill bet hed be exhausted and only barely made it to the end

hes actually got some talent and was world junior champ, but it seems poor training (his training for past fights has simply been his roofing job ive read) and 50+ excess pounds really take there toll

Yeah, I realize that some of his 8 non-victories have been the result of poor prefight preparation as he's taken many of them on short notice. But, hopefully, he's had plenty of notice for this one & has taken the opportunity to train seriously for this opportunity against a top ten opponent. It still may not be enough to result in a victory, but we shall see. I think if he's motivated & is in proper condition that Dawejko can extend Jennings the distance & give him a tough go of it. He may even be able to outwork Jennings if Jennings gets caught overlooking him.

Surely he's ready for tougher than this? No disrespect to Joey intended, but he's just not at this level.
