Galal Yafai vs. José Francisco Rodríguez Tamayo & Conah Walker vs. Liam Taylor RBR.

Shame it wasn't Sunny Edwards on the end of that beating.

 

Yes, they are the polar opposite of fighters like Canelo, Stevenson, Haney and that Cuban/German guy Canelo fought. Charlatans all. Rodriguez and Yafai left it all in the ring in the same way that Benn and Eubank Jr did.

 

Yafai took a beating bravely, but simply another case you bring over a game Mexican and time and again they will do exactly what their fighting DNA says. High output, high volume, test your cardio, test your heart.

No shame coming up short but styles make fights and chalk and cheese between Rodriguez Jr and Edwards, Matchroom matchmaking has not done their fighter any favours.

 

Two warriors who gave everything and a great watch last night.

Both eye cuts added to the excitement as stoppage due to cut looked not far away for either man.

Just wish we had a commentary team who would commentate on the fooking great fight unfolding instead of referring to Wardley being miles behind etc.

 

You know it's like a football commentator with scripted notes, team XYZ have scored late winners in 5 games this season, blah, blah,blah.

Yep they sometimes get it right but boxing commentary by Adam Smith DAZN or when it was on TNT by that football BANTZ commentator Fletcher it's done to death.

Just call the fight thats unfolding.

 

Adam ‘ my dad’s from Leeds, I’m from London ‘ Smith last night ‘ McGrail is wearing dark blue shorts, the same colour as Darren Barkers shirt. Baluta is wearing light blue like Sonny and myself. ‘ Mindless from a man who is now the voice of British boxing , who’s on every week, sometimes twice. The modern day Harry Carpenter, Reg Gutteridge and Ian Darke. Commentators who knew when to let the action do the talking. And people wonder why we all hate DAZN.

There you are my friend. Classic Reynoso

 

Yeah it was quite obvious the guy was juiced he didn’t tire.

 

Firstly, that’s a brilliant shout on your part. Secondly, it’s terrible though, isn’t it? Really terrible. Yafai could have been killed in there. Canelo’s crowd and the WBC are a disgrace. I actually don’t rate Canelo at all. Don’t mention him with the 4 kings. He’s not even fit to hold Sam Eggingtons jock strap. Egginton and many others are a credit to the sport, Canelo and chums are nothing but a disease.

 

Yafai should 100% pursue legal action. That wasn’t just a loss — he took a sustained beating that could’ve been career-ending, and now we know the guy failed a VADA test? That’s criminal.

Eddie needs to back his fighter here — loudly. Set a precedent, make noise, and make sure there are consequences. Otherwise, what message does that send?

 

VADA are a joke to Eddie he has said it on multiple times they carn't be trusted. Im sure they will have mishandled the sample in some way and Rodríguez is innocent and will get a 270 page legal dossier that no one will ever see to prove the point. Isn't that right Eddie?. The WBC will rightfully clear Rodríguez and he will be 'free to box'.
On a serious note Rodríguez should never be allowed box again.

 

Yet Eggie Hearn was happy for Connor Benn and Dillian Whyte to fight after failing drugs tests.

The only way to stop the cheats is a lifetime ban from boxing - no excuses at all.

 

lol this is pro sport, do you really think any of these men are fuelled solely by food and drink?

 

Agree 100%, it’s disgusting. That gym is so dirty, most of the boxers in there have failed tests at some point.

 

I’m just repeating what Billy Nelson said, mate
