Josh Warrington vs. Martin Lindsay & Stephen Smith vs. Mauricio Munoz RBR

"Run away."

- Advice in the corner for Kareem.

Pretty straightforward.

 

Round 2

Yafai is jabbing Kareem in between the eyes and throwing quick looping rights slapping into his temple. Yafai is pressing Kareem across the ring, hammering with right hands behind the jab and hooking into the body as he leans in. Kareem pokes out a few left jabs and tries sliding outside enough to ski downslope into a clinch behind a wavy right hand. Yafai repels him with face jabs and big left hooks downstairs. Slapping rights behind the left glove by Yafai. Kareem is knocked into the ropes by a straight flurry, caught on the gloves but sending him reeling nonetheless. Kareem flicks out some inclined jabs over Yafai's head, nothing on them. Body shots and drive-through left upper-hooks to the face by Yafai pressing forward.

10-9 Yafai

20-18 Yafai

 

Enough to prevent another 10-8? :yep

 

Round 3

Two quick hits on the body from Yafai, both long range left hooks on the forward step, swiveled into and delivered textbook, full blast. Kareem is down and OUT!!!

KO3!!

 

He found a way to avoid losing a 10-8 in that one as well. :banana

 

:nono Always listen to your coach.

 

That was Kareem's third and probably last bid for the Commonwealth super fly title.

This marks Yafai's first ever professional title of any kind.

He stops Kareem two rounds faster than previous titleholder Paul Butler.
