He must have landed over 500 punches.

Galal around 200.

Was forced into dog fight.

Being ragged around.

Did Yafai throw 1 jab all night ?

Great intensity from the mexican, but poor from Yafai .
Granite chin though to be fair, but crazy tactics.

Very impressed with the translator. Seamlessly transitioning from Northern English to Mexican Spanish.

To take a minute and think out loud:

Yafai was a great pressure/volume fighter against a Cuban in the ams. He looked too strong for Sunny and ran through him. Sunny was honest and analytic on the comms tonight, which is cool and makes me like him more. GY showed a brilliant chin and serious heart tonight which makes me optimistic about his career.

Against a proper hardcore 12 round war Mexican he just wasn’t ready for that level of physicality.

My predictions:

Galal to win a world title eventually

Rodriguez to fail a test and immediately fight for a title

Sunny to crack on and be our favourite comm on the board

I loved that as well. I’d love to go round his for a Sunday meal.

Yeah, the Sunny Fight was effectively a gimmie and he hasn't fought anywhere near this level before.

All three Yafai brothers seem to lack that little something to get them over the edge.

Good skills & fundamentals, nice blokes but maybe that inner drive or toughness lacking at top level.

I sort of see your point but nobody could question his heart in there tonight.
Just didn't have enough to keep the other fella off .
