Uisma Lima vs Bakary Samake

A vacant belt raises the stakes

The bout is listed for the vacant WBC Silver super-welterweight title at Palais des Sports Marcel-Cerdan in Levallois-Perret, giving home fighter Bakary Samake a major opportunity in front of French fans.

Samake says preparation is the priority

After his first professional defeat, Samake told The Ring that managing his weight and nutrition is now a key focus; whether that produces a sharper performance is a central question in his return.

Lima has rebounded from the Ennis loss

Lima was stopped by Jaron Ennis in October 2025, but has since returned with two wins, including a stoppage of Souleimane Mohammedi. That recent recovery gives the visiting Angolan contender a chance to show the Ennis result was not the whole story.

Southpaw pressure is a key tactical test

Lima’s southpaw stance and forward pressure could test how well Samake handles a left-handed opponent; a recent preview argues that Lima will be most dangerous if he closes distance and turns exchanges into close-range trades.

Watch the opening rounds before considering a live bet

Use the early exchanges to judge whether Samake can manage Lima’s southpaw pressure and keep the fight at his preferred distance; only consider a live position if the in-ring pattern supports it.
