Mohammed Usman delivered big for underdog bettors with a gritty unanimous decision victory over the powerful and undefeated Hamdy Abdelwahab in a high-stakes three-round heavyweight battle.

Entering the bout as a +135 underdog, Usman was expected by many to struggle against Hamdy’s Olympic-level wrestling. But we saw the value early — Usman had more high-level MMA experience and the physical tools to neutralize the ground threat. And he delivered.

🔹 Round-by-Round Breakdown

Round 1:
Usman started measured, eating a few shots but steadily working behind a consistent jab to the body and head. He took his time warming up, finding the range, and setting up his timing while defending Hamdy’s early aggression.

Round 2:
This round marked a big shift. Usman made key adjustments, began landing the overhand right with authority, and forced Hamdy to backpedal. Hamdy looked confused, and his offense started to dry up as Usman’s pressure and power took center stage.

Round 3:
Though lower in activity, the final round sealed the win. With about a minute left, Usman landed a huge right hand that stunned Hamdy and left him visibly wobbled. That late damage swung the round — and the fight — definitively in Usman’s favor.
