Yoneins Tellez's recent form

Tellez is just 25 years old. He fights out of Stafford, Texas. He has only 58 rounds of experience under his belt since making his pro debut in 2020. This is due to his perfect mark of 10-0 with 7 KOs. He has gone the distance just three times. The first time was just six rounds against Cameron Krael in May 2023 via a unanimous decision. The second occasion was a 10-round unanimous nod over Joseph Jackson in April 2024. The third time was in his last contest against Julian Williams over 12 rounds in March. His win over Sergio Garcia was very good. He stopped the former European champion inside 3 rounds. The power seemed to wobble badly. His combination punching and ability to explode are tough to deal with. A recent win over former world champion J-Rock was his standout victory. He looked younger and fresher. He also showed poise and patience to dominate all 12 rounds. The upper body movement is very fast and fluid. However, he's got to be tighter with his defence. There are loads of holes behind his high guard. He can stand in front of opponents at times. The hands are down, so he is quite open to being countered when he commits to a combination. He needs to feign more often. He should be a bit less predictable coming forward. He should give opponents more looks at range. He's inexperienced. His inside work and ring craft will also have to keep improving.

Yoneins Tellez's Strength

Yoneins Tellez is a good young prospect. He has been successfully jumping up the rankings. He's from Cuba and went through their rigorous amateur system. He was successful there. Then he defected to America to continue in the professional rankings. Tellez is very tidy with his work. He has a good jab to measure the distance. He usually doubles up on it to then throw the right hand behind it. His combination punching seems fluid. He places his punches well, is athletic, carries thudding power, and moves very well with his feet.

Abass Baraou's recent form

At 30 years old, Baraou turned pro in 2018. Since then, he has gained 119 rounds of experience. Standing just under 5-feet-10-inches tall, he gives up half an inch in height to Tellez. Baraou’s record stands at 16-1 with 9 KOs, but he isn’t a knockout artist. 56.2% of his wins have come by stoppage. Four of his last six fights went the distance, including his last three. In his last two fights, he went to war with McGowan and Eggington. Grit was on full display, and he showed heart, battling through every round. Neither of these opponents is highly technical, but they are solid sluggers, and Baraou outworked them. When he closes the distance, Baraou can take some hard shots. His defense is weak, even up close. However, he seems to have a strong chin. He can lose rounds because he’s always working and chasing his opponent. Baraou doesn’t possess much power, and he isn’t fast with his hands or feet. As an amateur, Baraou won a bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships and a gold medal at the 2017 European Championships as a welterweight. He was also a three-time national champion. In 2018, Baraou claimed the German Junior Middleweight Title by beating Denis Krieger in his second pro bout. He added the WBC International Junior Middleweight Belt in 2019 with a win over Carlos Molina, and in 2022, he won the vacant IBO Continental Junior Middleweight Crown by stopping Brian Damian Chaves in the sixth round.

Abass Baraou`s Strength

Abass Baraou starts at range, using a strong jab to set the tone. He prefers to come forward and throw combinations, looking for an angle to stay close to his opponent. This allows him to wear them down. Baraou is active with his punches and moves frequently, though he isn't explosive. He focuses on volume rather than speed.

Yoneins Tellez vs Abass Baraou Expert Betting Tip

The undefeated Yoenis Tellez (10-0) defends his WBA interim junior middleweight title against Abass Baraou (16-1) in a 12-round clash. EBU champion, Abass Barou, is to make the first defence of his WBA 'interim' Welterweight title. He is a force in the 147 lbs division. In 2023, Yoenis Tellez just became a player in the loaded 154 lbs division with a TKO over Sergio Garcia. He blasted contender Sergio García inside 3 rounds in 2023. While there's no doubt he has fine power with a current knockout ratio of 70.8 per cent, he also possesses great boxing skills. He won every round on the scorecards in his first two decision victories. He beat Williams by scores of 119-109, 117-111, and 118-110. Tellez is five years younger than Baraou and has strong power. Baraou, on the other hand, has excellent boxing skills and a solid chin. This will be a tough test for both boxers, and there's a good chance the fight goes the distance. I expect a close contest, but I think Tellez will do enough to win by decision. A stoppage seems unlikely. Tellez’s quick combinations will be difficult for Baraou to handle. Baraou is tough, but Tellez can put his punches together and possibly stop him. However, I still see Tellez winning by a clear but competitive decision.
