Floyd Schofield Sr. sees his son wearing Lucas Bahdi down with vicious body shots this Saturday before closing the show in round nine. The real mystery is what Kid Austin looks like after sitting on the shelf for sixteen months.

Schofield blew out Tevin Farmer inside three minutes back in June 2025. He looked devastating, but Farmer was an aging target already softened by twenty-four punishing rounds against William Zepeda. That was a wounded veteran absorbing tons of punishment right before stepping into the ring with Schofield.

“Kid is going to drag that early to like nine rounds. He ain’t going to stop him one or two. Kid ain’t going to aim to knock him out. He ain’t going to go to clip the chin or temples or behind the ear or nothing that would stagger a person to knock him out. He going to aim more to break his body,” Schofield Sr. said to MillCity Boxing.

Executing that game plan means sustaining heavy pressure across the middle rounds. A one-round blast against Farmer never proved he could maintain that pace over time. When he went the full twelve with Rene Giron in late 2024, his output looked far more pedestrian.

Wrecking an opponent early is one thing. Doing it over nine rounds against a live dog after a long layoff is a totally different assignment.

The father claims Bahdi made this feud personal by running his mouth. That might fire Floyd up, but emotional fighters get sloppy. Digging into the ribs means stepping into the danger zone against a guy who packs genuine heat.

His dad admits that risk, noting both men bring serious power to the table.

He also brushes off concerns about the rehydration limit, citing their tough gym sessions. Still, looking sharp in private sparring never guarantees your timing clicks under real arena lights.

If Floyd comes out cold or misfires on his combinations, that prediction will blow up fast. Team Schofield is treating the Farmer blowout like the new standard. Saturday reveals whether that quick win showed real growth or just a lucky break against spent goods.
