Fight Analysis

Hedges is the bigger, rangier light heavy. Brown has to close and make it a scrap. A British hall can crowd a mover, so Hedges still has to jab instead of holding.

Recent Form

Hedges has been stretched in domestic light-heavy water and has answered with size. Brown's recent work is as a pressure man who needs to get inside the first minute of each round.

Fighting Style

Hedges: jab, hold the center, right hand behind it. Brown: come forward, hook off the duck. If Hedges gets lazy on the exit, Brown's hook is live.

Key Statistics

Jab thrown should tell the story. If Hedges doubles the jab, Brown is a 41. If the jab count is even, the inside fight is on.

Weight / Reach / Stance

Hedges typically has the height/reach edge at light heavy. Brown is the more compact puncher. Stance is orthodox versus orthodox — footwork, not southpaw geometry.

Knockout / Stoppage Record

Neither man is priced as a one-shot closer here. Distance is the base. A late TKO for Hedges is possible if Brown's pressure dries up.

Betting Insights

Hedges moneyline. Skip a high KO number. A rounds over matches a size-versus-pressure domestic main.

Final Prediction

Pick John Hedges by decision. Confidence 60. Win split 59–41. The market is Hedges to win on the cards.
