Supporting his stamina, Edwards has quick feet and hands to outmaneuver opponents and land perfect punches efficiently. As for his weaknesses, comparing his opponent, Yafai, he lacks knockout power even with his technical proficiency. His physicality of being short in his weight class disadvantages him against a taller opponent with more extended reach. Still, Edwards is known to win fights against the odds, making this upcoming bout one of the most intense fights.

While Yafai just started his professional career, he has a strong amateur background, which laid a solid foundation of skills. As for his weaknesses, Yafai lacks experience compared to his opponent, Edwards. He fought fewer matches to become more efficient against veteran fighters. Also, his aggressive fighting style leaves him open in defense, which leads the opponent to land a counterattack. While the defense is vital inside the ring, he needs to improve in an upcoming bout to extend his undefeated record. Galal Yafai may have an advantage in starting the round if he manages to knock him out, but continuing the round may solidify Sunny Edwards’s victory via Decision.
