    Yuri moves up 3 pounds to fight Galaxy. Who wins?

    Anybody?

    I'd take Khaosai by late stoppage. Yuri does well for awhile, but eventually Galaxy's pressure and power does Yuri in.

    I could see that. Something like Yuri winning literally every round, but Khaosai coming on later and stopping him as you said.

    Yuri had a great left hook and hit like a mule alongside his boxing skill, however he didn't use it enough and could get complacent. I also think his usage of minimalistic slipping, whilst not having the top tier reactions (they weren't bad, obviously) would lead to Galaxy landing those sneaky shots later on.

    Yuri does have the skill to get to a decision, like Payakaroon did, but Yuri is dealing with a naturally wider, much stronger physical beast at 115lbs who wouldn't let up.

    I would pick Yuri but not with a great deal of confidence. Not sure how much the jump up in weight would impact him, so you could be right.
