[Boxing Prospect]

Get Eddie, Barry and Sam on Jeremy Kyle!

[sammy95]

Barry "brought him into the world"...erm...father son?...>_>

That's what I thought. What the feck did he mean?

He was talking about Eddie....if I've interpreted what you're asking properly

[Boxing Prospect]

Deffo seemed like he was talking about Sam...but I was only half listening

[rd350lc]

Barry "brought him into the world"...erm...father son?...>_>

That's what I thought. What the feck did he mean?

Did he not mean the " boxing" world ?

Like father , like son eh .

[gilgamesh]

I kinda hope Yafai loses now

[handsofstone]

I'm interested to see how Yafai does here. Was the guy he beat for the title just built for him, it was an easy night for Yafai, he wasn't pushed at all. How good is he really?

[rossij8]

Both main events on at same time, meh

He's up against probably the 5th best guy at the weight in Japan... (Inoue, Ishida, Kono, Funai) would be a toss up between Muranaka and Eto or Nagamine...

[Tarkus]

Never heard or seen this Muranaka guy but I am expecting a typical Japanese boxer. Aggressive pressure fighter with no power. Should be an easy Yafai win.

That may be he Japanese fighter that is bought over as an opponent over here but with all the World champs they have I don't think you can say their fighters lack power.

[Neil Gee]

Yafai 1-0. Hope this guy can take it into the later rounds.

[Neil Gee]

Yafai 20-17 with count.

Naoya Inoue carries serious power in Yafais weight class

Shinsuke Yamanaka the lineal bantam weight champion carries ridiculous power in his straight left hand

[gilgamesh]

30-26 Yafai

Muranaka is a tough little bastard so far though

Uchiyama and Miura are huge punchers too! Ioka is a solid puncher, Tanaka's a solid puncher

Muranaka isn't a puncher but his KO Vs Sakashita was STUNNING!

New generation of top Japanese fighters like Inoue, Ioka, Murata are different animals altogether. Those are boxer punchers and not a typical Japanese.

[Tarkus]

Yafai is shipping lot of punishment but he must watch out not to punch himself out. Another thing about these Japs is their never die attitute. This guy wont quit coming the whole night.

[handsofstone]

Muranaka finishing most rounds well but no doing enough in the early stages

[Neil Gee]

I was hoping that Suguru Muranaka would be able to apply his antural, swarming style. If he doesn't run into something Muranaka is going to make Y prove his mettle tonight.

[gilgamesh]

Has Yafai ever been forced to maintain a pace like this for 12 rounds? If not this could get interesting down the stretch. It's a shutout for Yafai at the time being though.
