Floyd Schofield vs Lucas Bahdi

⭐️ The vacant WBA lightweight title is up for grabs here, with both fighters entering the ring boasting flawless records: Schofield stands at 19-0 with 13 knockouts, while Bahdi is 20-0 with 15 stoppages. Floyd last fought back in June 2025, demolishing Tevin Farmer in just 78 seconds, though prior to that he went the full 12 rounds against Rene Tellez Giron. In his most recent outing, Bahdi also went the championship distance, claiming a unanimous decision over Roger Gutierrez.

That’s why an early knockout seems unlikely here, despite both men’s impressive finishing rates. Schofield is returning after a lengthy layoff, and Bahdi has already shown—against both Ashton Sylve and Gutierrez—that he can weather tough moments and remain dangerous well beyond the opening rounds. In a 12-round title fight, a cautious start and gradual increase in tempo appear far more likely than a reckless opening shootout. The prediction: over 10.5 rounds.
