    I see a late stoppage for Zapata here. Thoughts?

    Yuh's work-rate would make it close, but Zapata is the superior technician.

    Yeah, Zapata was just over all more talented, and on form should win a decision (9-6ish?). However, Yuh was an astronomically hard worker, and would throw enough leather to make anyone uncomfortable.

    My sentiments exactly. Swarmers with inhuman work-rate has a tendency to over-tax even the best defenses.

    Yeah, especially ones like Yuh who took time to learn the basics. Whilst not having the better footwork, he has good enough footwork to catch up with Zapata and probably get him in a corner at some point.

    Yuh, unlike Chang, didn't really have the quickness to close the distance on Zapata.

    I see Zapata taking a clear UD.
