Guys Jeff has a hard nights work ahead of him. Ahmed has good hand speed - makes great use of angles & the ring space. Puts his punches together in bunches and has good defensive skills. Ben Rabah IMO has been Jeffs toughest opponent to date - albeit 4 or his last 5 opponents have been in the top 15 ratings. Ahmed will be his toughest test to date stylistically. He is an awkward customer and i didnt chose him - he is Jeff's mandated challenger for his IBF Intercontinental title. He's not what i would call tailor made for Jeff's style as Ahmed fights of the back foot comfortably and is a good counter puncher. This will be an exciting close fight and one i am tipping will go the distance. I believe Jeff will control the flow of the fight landing the cleaner more telling blows - I am hoping Jeff will walk through Ahmeds shots to land his own power shots and if Ahmed decides to stand and trade he will be at great risk of being knocked out.
