    Yafai doesnt seem to put anything behind his punches,

    Not that he lacks power, but that he literally doesn't commit to punches. Just tosses them out to land

    The epitome of an amateur boxing style through and through, he's throwing his punches like I do in light sparring.

    Yafai is getting hit. He is damn lucky he is in there with someone that can't crack an egg.

    Mannix thinks Gafai is one flurry away from the ref stopping it.

    Not sure about that Christopher.

    The crazy thing about Yafai not committing to his punches is that the usual reason for not loading up on your punches as much is to maintain defensive responsibility which he just doesn't do so it's pointless, in fact detrimental, to his style not to commit to punches.

    Yafai won this and maybe swept all 10 rnds but he was not impressive at all.

    Yaf needs a transmission overhaul. One gear, not much variation.

    I feel a bit dirty now Mora said something almost exactly the same.
