Diego Pacheco recent form

Pacheco (25-0, 18 KOs) dominated and stopped Maciej Sulecki in 2024, and has followed that up with three comfortable decision wins, climbing off the canvas to beat Kevin Lele Sadjo last time out. Since that win against Sadjo, Pacheco has agreed to a new deal with Matchroom.

Immanuwel Aleem recent form

Aleem (22-4-3, 14 KOs) lost last time out against Lester Martinez. “The Chosen Home” has mixed at a good level, recording wins against Demond Nicholson and Malcolm Jones. This is a clear step up for the New York native, but he will be eager to cause a huge upset.

Diego Pacheco vs Immanuwel Aleem prediction

Pacheco is difficult to pin down when he uses his size and reach to control the distance in his fights, making it difficult for opponents to land anything of note. Despite knockdowns and knockouts drying up in recent fights, Pacheco has proven he has power, adept at catching opponents when they come in to close the distance. He never rushes his work, picking his punches impressively throughout his fights.

Aleem is a come-forward fighter and will try to get inside Pacheco’s reach, but it’s difficult to see him doing this, and even if he does, he could seemingly walk into an uppercut from the Renton fighter.

We are backing Pacheco to start his new Matchroom deal in style, winning by a wide unanimous decision.
