- Location: Caribe Royale, Orlando, US
Game Overview
Yoenis Tellez, undefeated WBA Super Welterweight Interim Champion (10-0, 7 KOs), defends his title against Abass Baraou (16-1, 9 KOs), who is on a seven-fight winning streak. The fight represents the toughest test in Baraou's career while Tellez aims to solidify his status toward the full WBA title.
Key Factors to Consider
- Tellez possesses an unblemished record with a notable unanimous decision win over Julian Williams, showcasing consistent dominance. Baraou is battle-tested with 17 professional fights and a higher number of overall wins, but his sole defeat was a split decision in 2020.
- No prior H2H meetings, making the fight an analytical challenge relying on recent form and styles rather than direct matchup history.
- Both fighters report no significant injuries; Tellez enjoyed a smooth training camp with a stable coaching environment, while Baraou has adapted to a recent coaching change but remains confident.
- Fight taking place in Orlando, USA, slightly favoring Tellez as the Cuban champion accustomed to large international venues. Motivation is high on both sides, with Baraou seeking a career breakthrough and Tellez aiming for title unification.
- Tellez motivated by the prospect of becoming the full WBA champion and extending his undefeated streak. Baraou motivated by a major upset to jumpstart his career at a higher level.
