Middleweight Hamzah Sheeraz believes he has already beaten Austin 'Ammo' Williams “mentally” ahead of their fight on Saturday night at DAZN PPV.
Now, Sheeraz (19-0, 15 KOs), captain of Team Queensberry, says he intends to make it “physical” if he needs Matchroom fighter 'Ammo' Williams (16-0, 11 KOs) in their round robin fight twelve. in the '5 vs. 5' at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
Williams' Theatrics and Nickname Change
Sheereaz found it interesting how Williams, 28, took to the theater, changed her posture when the cameras were on her during their face-to-face, and started talking “a lot.” So he felt he had to put him in his place with some comments.
Williams now calls himself 'Tiger,' and it's unclear if he still intends to use 'Ammo' as his nickname. During today's workout, Williams even wore a tiger tail, which looked odd.
If Williams is going to use 'Tiger' as his new monicker, he may have to change his fighting style to be more aggressive to match that. Tigers pounce on their prey from the get-go, and that's not how Williams usually fights.
Mental and Spiritual Victory Has Been Achieved
“I don't cry about not going for a long time because if my fights are short, my work goes on for a long time. It's that simple,” said Hamzah Sheeraz on Title Sports Network. “Hopefully they continue to be short, and I get everyone out.
“If you're smart, you'd like to think so, and you're doing what you have to do to not go a few laps,” Sheeraz said about whether Ammo Williams expects him to start early. “But even if you do that, I believe that I am a better fighter in the second half of the fight. So, let's see how it goes. “
Williams played it safe in his last fight against Armel Mbumba-Yassa, and is nowhere near the striker Hamzah.
Williams is likely to fight carefully, trying not to hit Sheeraz early, and look to find something big in the second half. Williams is not a big hitter, though, and it would be a mistake to load up against Sheeraz.
“Hit him hard in the face,” said Sheeraz when asked how he made Ammo Williams regret taking the fight with him. “Just doing that. Beating him up to fists, beating him mentally, and beating him physically.
“I just beat him mentally and spiritually before the fight. I already know that. Now, it's just a matter of getting in there and doing the physical beating. I just know I have it.”
It will be an interesting battle if the match goes into the second half of the tournament because Hamzah has been knocking everyone out early. Will he still be able to withstand being beaten by a top player like Williams late in the fight?
“I prepared for the best version of him, and I did everything I had to do to make sure I won. I have to take him seriously. When the cameras were rolling, he was a completely different person, and he was talking a lot again. So, I had to put him in his place a little bit, Sheeraz said of Williams.
