Adam Azim, now 12-0 (10 KOs), achieved a remarkable performance over Ohara Davies (25-4, 18 KOs) at the Copper Box Arena in London, in the Saturday night match event. Davies was counted out twice and in the eighth round the match ended in favor of Azim by knockout at 1.18 of the round..
Already in the first round Azim fielded a hard left jab and Davies did not want to commit to attempting counter moves but with little success.
Azim’s speed appears more and more evident but Davies fields his right foot. .
Davies, 32, seemed to have more precision in the third round while Azim moved a lot. The duel becomes heated in the fifth attack when two direct shots from Azim hit the target. Davies has a bloody nose and a left to the body brings him to his knees. After the count he gets up and seems to have absorbed.
Azim, with the advantage, now relies on the jab but it is Davies who wants to recover and attacks more in this round. The recovery of the 32-year-old from Hackney, however, does not last long. Seventh round for Azim and eighth decisive. Azim fires a lightning left hook that enters Davies’ guard and he ends up on the canvas. Two Tanks tries to get up but can’t make it. To the referee Lyson. all that remains is to decree the knockout at 1 minute and 18 seconds of the eighth round.
