Prediction: Galal Yafai on Points
Fair play to Yafai for trying during this whole fight and putting up a fight, but Rodriguez was something else. Hammered him throughout and made it hard to watch for Yafai’s fans. This was a fun enough fight through the first half but Yafai should have been stopped in the second half. It was to the point where you question the corner. Why didn’t they stop it? Anyway fair play to Rodriguez on a big upset and what should be a title shot next. Edit* Unfortunately this fight was actually ruled a no contest as Rodriguez was found to have PEDs in his system. What a scumbag. The boxing organisations acted as sternly as ever though and have put him on a “12 month probationary period” instead of an actual ban. Plus they have ordered an immediate rematch. Boxing is a joke right now and this is just further proof of that.
