Jordan Gill Analysis: Coming from a massive win
Following a disappointing showing in October 2022 against the formidable Kiko Martinez, which resulted in multiple knockdowns and a 4th round stoppage, Gill confessed to experiencing a period of depression. He was expected to be an easy opponent for Michael Conlan, who was also looking to bounce back after a devastating loss to Luis Alberto Lopez.
Nevertheless, Gill managed to cause one of the biggest surprises of 2023 by assertively taking down Conlan and ultimately defeating him in the 7th round of a thrilling nail biting battle.
Zelfa Barrett Analysis: Looking to come back to the spotlight
Zelfa Barrett was defeated by the resilient Tajikistan fighter Shavkat Rakhimov in November 2022 for a title that became vacant after Joe Cordina was stripped of it, a title he has since reclaimed.
Barrett initiated strongly, managing to knock Rakhimov down early on. However, he struggled to withstand the relentless pressure from the Tajikistan fighter later in the match. It seemed that Barrett’s apparent leg injury significantly hindered his movement and ability to counter Rakhimov effectively. This ultimately resulted in the fight being stopped in the 9th round.
Overall our sports analysis suggests Gill has managed to recover better from his recent woes, which provides enough momentum both mentally and physically going into this bout.
