Wow! Anyone else watch the Yafai/Muranaka fight? Great fight. Great card in fact. Eggington fight was good too.
I have a fire stick but I expected the card to start around 4 or 5 est like most hbo overseas bouts. It said its started at 230. I have no idea who any of these guys are, so am I bovvud?
Yafai is talented and has a good array of punches but there's no lateral movement there at all. Power doesn't seem to be great either.
I watched it. What is Muranaka made of?! That guy is tough as hell. He took everything Yafai threw at him. Yafai has an excellent array of punches in his arsenal and I think he can actually hit pretty hard. Other fighters would have folded.
That was my impression. Seemed like Yafai hit hard but Muranaka was just tough as hell. And actually, a couple of times it seemed like Muranaka really got Yafai's attention. What was amazing was Yafai's workrate. Just non-stop assault basically. Awesome fight I thought.
Yeah, it was excellent. Muranaka definitely got Yafai's attention and I was thinking that he may get to Yafai late on, but Yafai continued to pile on the pressure. I love his left to the body. Yafai's had problems with his hands in the past btw. His brother, Gamal, is pretty talented too.
