John Hedges vs Pat Brown prediction

How far Brown can go in the pro ranks remains to be seen, but the heavy-hitting cruiserweight cannot be in a boring fight. He has an aggressive come-forward style, while carrying explosive power in both hands. He’s not reckless, which comes with his extensive amateur background. He controls the distance well in his fights, using his jab. He looks comfortable fighting at range or inside, throwing huge bombs.

Hedges is awkward and will look to frustrate Brown by picking his punches and moving. He needs to be elusive and move, keeping Brown guessing. If he stands straight in front of Brown, and the Mancunian lands, that could be all she wrote! Hedges has plenty of ability and has the tools to frustrate Brown. However, he needs to pick his punches and make Brown second-guess his own work.
