Nick named “The baby face Terminator”, Duke Micah goes into the Saturday 21st April 2018 fight at the Kings Theater, Brooklyn New York with 108 rounds of boxing, 21 bouts, 18 KOs, no draw, no loss.
He comes in with a height disadvantage to Yoan Boyeaux. He has come from the back of resounding majority decision in his favour with Jose Santos Gonzalez in a defence to the WBC International Bantamweight strap on 18th November 2018 in New York.
Micah has beautiful and power packed combination of left hook, right jab and excellent jabs with good defence but sometimes loses it.
Yoan Boyeaux the most experienced of the two and a former world title contender comes in with an intimidating record of 206 rounds of boxing, 47 bouts, 41 wins, 26 KOs, 5 loses, no draw and also has the height advantage.
He has come from a 3 round TKO loss to Naoya Inuoe on 30th December 2017 in a WBO Super Flyweight title.
“Yo boy” as he is nick named has solid jabs but with weak defence and weak stomach. He will rely more on the jabs to win the fight.
Boyeaux will be running with jabs to cover for his weak defence and weak stomach but Micah must chase Boyeaux and trap him to a blistering fast moving punches in the area of his stomach laced with overhead hooks.
Strict adherence to this will see the fight live shorter than the scheduled eight (8) rounds.
I believe team Micah i.e Carl Lokko and Asante are up to the task and will deliver the goods.
I tip Duke Micah to win this fight in a KO.
