As the wide boxing odds indicate, Adam Azim is set to become a world super lightweight champion. The Briton is -900 to beat Sergey Lipinets, which implies a 90% chance. This is a tad too wide for our liking as Lipinets is a significant step up in competition for the unbeaten prospect. But Azim also has a size, youth and hometown edge. He’s still the best bet.

“The only way he can fight is coming forward. And I do love people who come forward because it’s easier for me to catch them,” Azim told Sky Sports. “I’m going to use my intelligence, my class, my patience, and my speed definitely for this fight.”
Nine of Azim’s 12 victories have come via stoppage, including his most recent one. Azim finished Ohara Davies even if he didn’t appear to put much “oomph” in his punches. That’s the type of timing and precision he has. Lipinets could fall right into this.
The former champion is highly durable and has only been finished once in his 22-fight pro career. That finish was against Jaron “Boots” Ennis, widely regarded as the best boxer in the welterweight division. So seeing Azim as a favored KO boxing pick emphasizes his stellar abilities.
Azim is a super lightweight but he’s built like Ennis. Azim stands 5-foot-10 compared to 5-7 for the champion, per Lipinets vs Azim stats. And since Azim is hefty at 5-10, he could easily move up to welterweight. He’s also only 23 so the weight cut should not be detrimental to him.
The challenger should remain patient, as he stated. Lipinets will not go down easily. But with constant work, Azim will wear him down and finish him.

2. Azim vs Lipinets Under 8.5 Rounds (-115)
When betting online on the total, bet under or pass. While Lipinets is durable, he could also be prone to getting finished quickly. He is 35 and is coming off a war with Robbie Davies Jr., who had him hurt at one point. And the Ennis fight showed just how reckless Lipinets can get.
But we’re also putting stock in Azim going beyond his defensive approach. Azim showed in his last bout that he’s willing to go for the finish when he senses it. Once Lipinets starts to break, Azim will take the fight to him.
Lipinets has only finished once and it happened in the sixth round against Ennis. Timing is everything, however, and Azim is peaking just as Lipinets is on his way down. All it takes is a few well-placed shots. For our boxing predictions, Azim will finish Lipinets before the ninth round.
