I said before that I thought the Jimenez fight would be Dalakian’s last successful defense (and it was almost an unsuccessful one), but I’ll have to change that here: He shouldn’t have too much problems with Akui.
I saw Akui fight in Japan and he was impressive. His losses were to good fighters. He could make it a interesting fight of course, will have to see if Dalakian engages with him. Curious to see where this fight will be held.
