Wayne Alexander, World champion
“It’s always good to see two young talents putting their unbeaten records on the line in a domestic dust up. In this contest you have two evenly matched fighters both hungry for success and to get into the world class mix, Liam Davies has good skills and can punch a bit Masoud also has good skills ‘he can switch hit’ but is a little less experienced. This is a real pick up fight and it will come down to who wants it more on the day. Im going with Davies to win by a close maybe controversial split points decision ”
