David Adeleye (6-0, 5KO) vs Mladen Manev (3-9, 2KO)
Heavyweight (200+)
David Adeleye
Hahahaha. So. Let’s get this straight, shall we? After certainly losing on points to Kamil Sokolowski, only for Uncle Frank to bail out the prospect with a stinky scorecard, David Adeleye now takes two steps back to face Mladen Manev? Every fan understands that Adeleye is a young prospect, but at a certain point, this KO stat-padding becomes ludicrous. Despite a handful of decent counter rights against Sokolowski, Adeleye was bullied against the ropes and unable to maintain a comfortable mid-range where he usually thrives. Without a regular jab, Adeleye bleeds rounds and effectively banks on his power to secure knockdowns.
Mladen Manev
Bulgarian journeyman, Mladen Manev, is a common call-up for British prospects. Giving rounds to Solomon Dacres, Alex Dickinson and Naylor Ball, Manev is the typical high guard live body. Never really expending any energy or opening himself up to unnecessary risk, Manev at least presses forward on occasion and tries to land short combinations. It is a shame that he is probably a LHW if he shrugged off the beer belly.
Predicted Result: Adeleye TKO Round 4
After certainly losing on points to Kamil Sokolowski, only for Uncle Frank to bail out the prospect with a stinky scorecard, Adeleye takes two steps back to face Mladen Manev. A powerful counter puncher Adeleye was lost at sea when Sokolowski didn’t wilt in the clinch. Manev, a LHW if he shrugged off the beer belly, doesn’t pose the same knockout threat. A Bulgarian journeyman, Manev at least attempts to unload the occasional short combination. A step up from debutant Dave Preston, an entire planet away from Sokolowski.
