    Good raw aggression from Rodder's.

    He needs to hit that body with Yaf's high guard up

    But would/should Bivol, being the titleholder, be willing to walk into a situation where he might need a KO just to get a draw? There's being a road warrior, then there's putting yourself in a prime position to get ripped off.


    With that said, I root for Zurdo to shake the division up with a legitimate win tonight.

    Yafai may be effectively pressuring but he's taking a lot of punches from Rodríguez who seems to be very good at throwing off the back foot with high volume.

    Round 1 Rodriguez 10-9
    Round 2 Yafai 10-9
    Round 3 Yafai 10-9

    Both men throwing and landing a lot, afai just slightly more active, and his punches are much heavier.

    It's just crazy that the Emiratis will bid more than a soccer stadium full of Mexican fans and a prime time US/Mexico TV audience.

    Fair play to Gamal Yafai for stepping up so early in his career. All his fights so far have been progressive tests. He'll go far.

    Round 1 Rodriguez 10-9
    Round 2 Yafai 10-9
    Round 3 Yafai 10-9
    Round 4 Yafai 10-9

    Rodriguez landed some solid counter hooks early, but seemed to be wilting under the pressure late.

    Mexico is something else, though. :lol: And I don't see him getting rid of Zurdo tonight, he needs a fair shake on the scorecards.
