So, what of the two bouts that have been made official? Who are the expected winners?
#1. WBC Silver super welterweight title: Bakary Samake vs. Wade Ryan
The Bakary Samake vs. Wade Ryan matchup is something of a layup for the former. Samake is the hometown hero, having been born in Paris. Moreover, he is the younger fighter with momentum and the confidence of an undefeated 16-0 record on his side. At just 21 years old with 8 knockouts, he is primed to win.
His opponent, Ryan, is the subject of far less hype. He is 34 years old with a 22-11-1 record, also with 8 knockouts to his name. His last outing against Takeshi Inoue ended in a draw, so he will be looking to score his first win of 2024, especially in enemy territory.
However, he isn't favored to win. Samake is younger, faster, and more powerful. While Ryan is seasoned and armed with veteran wiles, he will undoubtedly struggle with Samake's blitzing hand speed and movement. Come fight night, Samake will emerge with the WBC Silver super welterweight title.
The Prediction: Bakary Samake via unanimous decision
#2. The rest of the Bakary Samake vs. Wade Ryan predictions
The only other confirmed fight on the Bakary Samake vs. Wade Ryan card is Mustapha Zaouche vs. Gregorio Marcano at super middleweight. The bout is a wash, with Zaouche being undefeated at 15-0. What he lacks in power, he makes up for in skill and technique.
The same cannot be said for his opponent. Marcano is a poor boxer with a record of 14-7-1. He has half as many losses as he does wins, and his only saving grace is his punching power. But all signs point to Zaouche being too skilled for Marcano to do much against.
The Prediction: Mustapha Zaouche via unanimous decision
