In his heavyweight debut, Johnny Walker knocked out Mick Parkin with a knee to the head from the clinch. That leaves Waldo Cortes Acosta with a nasty question going into their main event at Meta APEX. Once he slips Walker’s jab and gets close enough to land a hook, where does he put his head? Cortes Acosta knocked out Shamil Gaziev with a punch at range, then stopped Derrick Lewis with punches on the ground in his next fight.
- Walker’s heavyweight debut ended with a knee from the clinch.
- Volkov and Blaydes both beat Cortes Acosta on every scorecard.
- What if Waldo aims that jab at Walker’s chest?
The opening round could get lively on the break from the first clinch, when both men have their hands free and neither is out of reach.
Since then, Alexander Volkov and Curtis Blaydes have both beaten him by unanimous decision. For Walker, the Gaziev finish is worth another look. Waldo was close enough to land clean while there was still daylight between them. Walker has 82 inches of reach to 78 for Cortes Acosta, so watch what Waldo aims at with his jab.
If he goes to the chest, he can make Walker give ground without having to chase his chin. If he reaches for the head and his feet trail behind, Walker can grab the back of his neck before that glove makes it home. Keep an eye on Walker’s feet if Waldo backs him toward the fence. A step to the side gives Walker room for his jab again, but if he stays put, the first man to dig an underhook has a chance to turn the other into the fence.
