Gavin Gwynne takes on Cameron Vuong in the lightweight bout November 30 in Birmingham, England.
The stats suggest Vuong has a significant advantage in terms of power over Gwynne, boasting a 50% knockout percentage compared to Gwynne's 29%. There is also a 12-year age difference with Vuong the younger of the two.
Vuong comes into this one as the big -500 favorite.
Don't count out Gwynne, who pays $350 for every $100 bet should he walk away victorious.
“I'm one for overtraining,” Gwynne, 17-3-1 (5 KOs), told BoxingScene. “I'm like, ‘I'm not fit enough,’ and I'll train two, three times a day. [Lockett] has got me resting now instead. He says, ‘You’re fit enough now. Why over-train and leave it in the gym?’ So even in sparring, he’s pulled me back in. Normally, I'm doing 15 rounds sparring, whereas now I'm only doing eight rounds sparring. He says, ‘I know you've got plenty in the tank, so keep it in the tank for the fight.'
“Gary said, 'I'm not I'm not going to change the way you fight. You’ve been doing it for the past, like, 12 or 13 years. How am I supposed to change it within six months? I'm not gonna change that.’ He said, ‘I just want to correct the things you're doing wrong. If you’ve got to where you are by doing things wrong, how far can you go if you get them things right?’”
