Joshua Buatsi vs. Daniel Blenda Dos Santos & Lerrone Richards vs. Giovanni De Carolis RBR.

Classic case of defence issues and not chin

 

10-8 Cunningham

58-53 Cunningham

There is now a case for pulling Yafai out, every left hand has Yafai in serious trouble.

Yafai can't deal with the left hand, he has no idea what to do with a southpaw, none whatsoever, this is European title level and he looks like he has never seen a southpaw in his life.

What sort sparring has Yafai had?

Cunningham boxing BEAUTIFULLY, so impressed with Cunningham tonight.

 

10-9 Yafai

67-63 Cunningham

Every time Yafai goes down, the next round he seems to come alive, I have to give him credit for attitude and desire.

Yafai still pouring forward, still throwing "bombs", but still a little wild.

Cunningham for the first time looks a little frayed, a little tired, maybe he has taken a round off but didn't do enough.

But Yafai is STILL open to that left hand.

 

Yafais footwork is terrible, he just follows Cunningham around and keeps stepping to his right putting himself right in the trajectory of that long left cross!

 

Cunningham looking like Willie Pep tonight.

 

10-9 Cunningham

77-72 Cunningham


Yafai again the one coming forward letting his hands go, landing some, missing some, looks a little wild to me.

Cunningham back o his boxing and moving and keeping his shape and discipline, I believe he landed the more accurate and quality punches,

 

10-9 Yafai

86-82 Cunningham


Close round but Yafai did enough, but Yafai lands something decent then gives it away by standing still and letting Cunningham answer.

Yafai has momentum but looks tired, really tired, like one more of those straight left hands and it could be over.

 

This Blenda Dos Santos bloke has a pretty padded record, has anybody seen him fight?

 

Might end up like Conn-Louis here.

 

10-9 Yafai

95-92 Cunningham


Cunningham looks like he is unraveling, he looks tired and the body shots from Yafai have taken so much out of Cunnngham.

Fair play to Yafai, the desire and grit is impressive.

This will come down to Cunninghams conditioning.

 

Turned into a cracker this.
