Yafai is "literally blowing people away" according to the commentator.

I don't agree. The rest is good for the fighters, plus the crowd/audience will be hypedbigped wrote:P4P#1 wrote:What the fuks with this long rest???

really bad stopping the tourny to put yafi in with a mug over 8 rounds, like a 40 mins break lol
Yeah I don't see the problem, more of a level playing field.reggaereggae wrote:I don't agree.

Foot landed very little after the first round, while Gaynor landed frequently in the second. I don't give rounds simply because one fighter throws more punches than the other; all the effective work in the second was done by Gaynor.Final round wrote:I don't think Gaynor clearly won any rounds due to his lack of work rate at times Foot was constantly throwing twos,threes, fours to Gaynor's decent potshotting but I agree the second could have gone either way.
I couldn't see any suspense when they went to the cards/ref..

Yes, he landed a good right hand near the end of the second, but he was generally not very accurate and that was one of the few good punches he landed after the first. He was clearly tired in the second after his effort in the first; his punches were slower, lacked snap, and he was unable to land like he did in the first, although even then he missed wildly with many hooks. Gaynor seemed the much fresher man in the second, and he effectively caught Foot when the latter came forward or leaned back. I thought that Gaynor landed more frequently and with higher quality in the second than did Foot, who was reduced mainly to throwing left hooks that were blocked or missed completely.Final round wrote:crusader wrote:Foot landed very little after the first round, while Gaynor landed frequently in the second.

Rose tinted specs there (or dark glasses) He nailed Gaynor near the end of the second and hit him flush plenty of times left and rights.Gaynor had inspired moments but didn't let his hands go enough and got tagged with plenty.
yeah I'd agree the second was Gaynors best round he was pretty good in spurts a bit more action and he could've done the job.crusader wrote: Yes, he landed a good right hand near the end of the second, but he was generally not very accurate and that was one of the few good punches he landed after the first.

The third round was similar, but Foot seemed to get a another wind while Gaynor wasn't as sharp or as busy as he was in the second.
He's hilarious this MC, his best one was the Froch fight "Nottingham are you ready to meet your HERO?!!!"Craigyid14 wrote:The thousands in attendence and the millions watching from around the world
