You are a rare sight Steve making the tenative pick for Edwards, but I absolutely agree. I'm a big fan of Sunny, I think he boxes great and has an underrated resume. I think he is potentially the best in the world at his backfoot, swtich-hitting, elusive style. He is one of the few fighters I see who make fights harder for themselves on purpose. He knows the plot here though, I think he will be switched on from round 1 - 12.
Bam has the power advantage for certain. You could argue he maybe just about beat the better guys - certainly the bigger names - but we have to remember his two best wins are against two past their best fighters. Bam has also struggled in the past against movers, and has had trouble cutting off the ring. His last two fights show that to be the case. If he has trouble with movers, he will have a really hard night with Edwards popping in and out, turning him and frustrating him.
Sunny has issues too: His weight, His gas tank in the later rounds, His showboating. He will need to be completely on point, focused, and have had a great camp. The best version of Sunny, beats Bam in my opinion.
A fine analysis Mr Butters. Not sure exactly how I reached my conclusion of an Edwards' win but just feel it might come off for him. Of course, fighting in Bam's back yard is not going to be easy. I rate Rodriguez but feel there are flaws to be exploited.
