Davies is being treated like a step-up opponent for Azim and it is for a reason.

Davies had a rough outing the last time he was in the ring, getting stopped in the opening round by Ismael Barroso. Expect Davies to be a bit more cautious on Saturday, but with Azim ultimately getting the unanimous decision win.
