Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Alem Begic: Prediction
I predict a TKO/KO victory for Sheeraz over Begic because he’s the powerful puncher, and his longer physical attributes will greatly help him land clean punches. Additionally, Sheeraz is the more explosive and athletic fighter, as he’s the younger fighter.
Sheerez will mainly use his jabs to keep Begic at bay and set up his power punches. Once he calculates the right range, I believe Sheeraz will throw a lot of punches and combinations. Lastly, the level of competition Sheeraz has fought is higher than Begic’s.
Even though Begic is also an undefeated fighter and is currently a European boxing champion, Sheeraz was a former world title challenger. He fought the likes of Carlos Adames and Edgar Berlanga, while Begic is already past his prime at 39.
