THE COUNTER PUNCH REPORT
FIGHT STYLE
COUNTERPUNCH expects this one to be fought at a relatively fast tempo – at least for the first two rounds. Olef Olsen throws a lot of punches and he is likely to dictate the pace of the bout, Stower will probably look to counter punch.
KEYS TO VICTORY
OLEF OLSEN – Punches, punches and more punches. Olsen will look to dictate the pace, not let Stower get into any rhythm. He will try bully his less experienced opponent by punch volume.
JOEL STOWER – Break the rhythm of Olsen. Stower won’t have to look for Olsen, he will be right in front of him all night. He needs strong defence, weather that early storm and if he can turn defence into offence and sting back with counter punches he can halt any momentum of Olef Olsen.
FIGHT PREDICTION
Olsen will come forward and look to win the bout with volume punching. Stower will look to counter box and make Olsen pay for any misses. Olsen has a fair bit in his favour in this one. He steps in for his ninth bout while Stower will only be having his fourth fight. He’s also moving back to heavyweight where he no doubt will be stronger. Counterpunch has also been tipped off the pair have sparred before – albeit a long time ago, with Olsen comfortably handling Stower. However Olsen can’t under estimate Joel Stower, he has good footwork for a big man and does possess knock out power. All in all it’s a good fight – it could go either way without surprising.
