    Anyone think Sunny Edwards can beat Bam?

    Unpopular opinion but I think Bams footwork is awful and he can't cut a ring off well at all. A lot of bad habits.
    Its easy to look at him throwing combinations and say wow he is special but if you actually watch his feet, his footwork is quite a mess.

    I think someone with good footwork, a mover with a high ring I.Q will give this guy kittens and keep him off-balance all night. Edwards is all that but I am not sure whether he is THAT guy. If that makes sense?

    Short arms, zero power whatsoever, backs himself onto the ropes a lot.

    Tough one I think someone with a similar style and attributes can make Bam look pretty ****** but I am not sold on Edwards being the one to do it but I certainly see why he & his team would like the fight.

    I think power is hugely overrated in boxing especially at top level however Sunny is possibly the most feather-fisted fighter I've ever seen to the point a part of me feels regardless of what he does in there I just don't feel he has enough pop too fully exploit the obvious. I think he has a lot of moments but I feel Bam can easily get away with not having near as many or being anywhere near as sustained.
    Eventually Bam will say sod it and it'll just be a case of him simply being able to take Sunnys shots a lot better than vice versa.
    As much as skills pay the bills there is the odd instance where skills, style doesn't matter, it really just comes down to who can take the others shots better.

    I am not sure on this fight.
    Gun to my head I think he makes Bam look terrible, very frustrating night but Bam gets the job done and gets too him late.

    On Sunnys last performance I think you have to take Bam but looking a little deeper I am a little bit in two minds and can certainly see this potentially being real tricky for Bam

      He’s gonna have to concentrate for all 12 rounds and steal rounds where he can. Sunny can but I’m not sure he will but he’s a live dog.

        No, at the top level you at least need some sort of power to get your opponent to respect you. The only way that happens is if Bam had healing problems with his jaw.
