Edwards-Muhammad Rematch Preview: Coach Lovell Believes Muhammad Attempted ‘Decision Theft’ in First Fight

Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad’s unfinished business may be settled in a rematch, according to Edwards’ coach Dave Lovell. Lovell believes Muhammad sought an escape through his eye poke in their first fight and anticipates a similar strategy in a rematch, with Muhammad attempting to wrestle and grind out a decision. Despite Muhammad’s denials and claims of potential dominance, Lovell maintains that Edwards has prepared for all scenarios and will be ready to defend his title against Muhammad’s challenges. With Edwards on a 12-fight win streak and Muhammad on a nine-fight streak, the rematch promises to be a captivating clash between two top welterweights.
