    Not seen that much of this 32 year old prospect Yafai. but the other two are poor. And all three have the most boring personalities ever.
    From the little what I've seen of Galal, if Edwards just keeps out range he should box his ears off all night to an easy points decision.

    (But Matchroom are claiming this is a 50/50 fight so maybe I'm wrong)

    What do you think?

    Galal points, the bam fight will have taken a lot from Sunny, this is the end for him imo.

    Have to go with Edwards; I think he will easily outbox Yafai. I don't see why people are holding the Bam fight against him; Edwards put up a spirited effort against a much better opponent, I feel Bam would deal with Yafai much easier.

    Another good domestic fight going under the radar, probably ilb for ilb the best domestic match-up of the year.

    Unless Yafai can impose himself on Edwards, make him work, and force him into exchanges, I would expect Sunny to win this quite comfortably.

    I fancy it to be a really good fight to be honest, I think the styles will gel well. Yafai on points, in a close fight.

    Looks like Sunny is out liking all the replies for Yafai.

    I'm sorry Sunny but I'm going with Yafai by points on this one.

    Haha @Sonny1 1 is heavily invested in Yafai. He'll have a breakdown if Edwards schools him lol. He's super sensitive about his favourites .I reckon he cried a lot of tears the night Barrera exposed Naz as a fraud:lol:

    Edwards by close decision. Bam smoked him but Bam smokes good fighters like a Malboro after a few pints, should be a good one for the technique lovers but will be boring generally with swing rounds here and there but Edwards taking it over in the final rounds.

    Yeah Bam is an absolute beast and would smoke anyone around his weight class. He's a future top 3 P4Per imo

    Edwards strangely and stupidly went toe to toe with him and didn't fight in his usual, skilled, running, matador style, I'd imagine he'll go back to his usual style for this fight.

    told you, finished. Although i thought it would be a 120-108, not a TKO

    Nice one pal. I predicted Yafai points and was very confident he’d win but the stoppage definitely surprised me.

    I think if Edwards still had the mind for it then it would have bene Yafai points but it seems Edwards mind was already on retiring and thats never a good thing.
