Sunny Edwards is a powerful fighter – a really spectacular fighter. The IBF flyweight champion cruised previous challenger Felix Alvarado Friday in Sheffield, England in a efficiency that was paying homage to a number of the sport’s extra notable slicksters. The 19-0 Edwards by no means as soon as gave the impression to be in actual hazard, although there was little question the aggressive 38-2 Alvarado had his moments. Suffice to say, the judges all dominated in favor of Edwards by scores of 115-113, 116-12, and 115-113.
“Every time I’m fighting, I’m trying to test myself, ” Edwards mentioned after the match. “Felix Alvarado is a phenomenal puncher, so if I can sit there and mix it with him and I showed that I could, I showed that I could ride shots, take shots, and throw my own shots back, I can do it against anyone. He was a very, very hard puncher in there, but I would not be denied.”
With the sport Alvarado out of the best way Edwards made it clear he’s now trying in the direction of the long run. “I want the big fights,” Edwards claimed. “Martinez, he’s running scared, Bam Rodriguez, who promised me the fight next, come and get it.”
