Kid Galahad vs. Jazza Dickens Preview
Galahad has lost just once in his career, and that loss came just two years ago when he lost a split decision to Josh Warrington. Galahad bounced back in February of last year to defeat Claudio Marrero.
Dickens has three losses in his career, but he has not lost in more than four years, Dickens has won his last eight fights, including a win against Ryan Walsh last December.
Galahad and Dickens met in 2013 and the fight was decided in the 10th round with Galahad getting the win. Galahad had a chance to win a title in 2019 but he lost to Josh Warrington, while Dickens had his title shot in 2016 but was beaten by Guillermo Rodriguez.
Galahad and Dickens have also sparred a lot since they fought in 2013 so they know each other well. “We know each other, we’ve got a lot of history, we’ve done a lot of sparring since we fought back in 2013,” said Dickens to the media. Both fighters knew that they would eventually fight again. “We’ve always known in the back of our minds that it’s going to happen again,” Dickens said to the media, “I’ve certainly known it would happen again but we’ve been sensible and we’ve used each other because we’re the best sparring both of us can find and it’s been a pleasure to work together. There are no harsh feelings.”
The odds on this fight heavily favor Galahad and perhaps the odds are too high. Dickens has faced some tough fighters and he has been improving over the years. He has been a pro since more than 10 years and he knows that now is the time. “Yeah, you’ve got to learn,” Dickens said to the media, “Defeat for me is the best way to learn because it hurts so much and it means you’ve got to get better. Nothing gives you a kick up the ass like defeat.”
Galahad is listed as almost a 4-1 favorite in this fight and I don’t see that much separating these two fighters. Galahad may very well win this fight, but Dickens is definitely not without a chance. Neither of these two fighters has a ton of power and although their first meeting didn’t go the distance, with Galahad winning in the 10th round, this fight has all the looks of one that is decided by decision. These two have combined for 57 wins with 27 of those victories coming by knockout, many of which came earlier in their careers. The rounds option for this fight should be available and the best bet could be to take the rounds to go under the total.
