Bookies have Yafai beating Chocolatito. Thoughts?

[Combat Talk Radio]

Very little chatter about that fight which should be pretty good. But do people really rate Yafai over Choco?

I understand, Srisaket damn near killed the dude, but he's been the only one. Didn't Choco look decent in his last fight?

He looked OK in his last fight but still looked like a faded fighter from what he was.

Who knows. He seems to be well into a decline now, but i don’t think Yafai has looked good since winning the title.

If Chocolatito can roll back the years for one night and even be 80% of what he was, he may still win.

I think i’m just not sold on Yafai but if Chocolatito is truly faded, then Yafai should be able to win a decision from just being much more fresh.

Seems like the popular thinking is that Yafai lost to that other Gonzalez. I never saw these fights, so I don't know, but if Yafai's on the decline this early, it would seem to favor Choco just from an experience perspective.

I don't know. Tempts me to place a bet on it.

Yafai is 30, which isn’t young for a Super Flyweight. Historically, fighters around Flyweight are in decline at 30.

Chocolatito is 32, so it’s not like there’s a big age difference but of course he has a lot more fights and miles on the clock.

I dunno. To me it only depends on if Chocolatito is totally faded or not. If he is, then we’re just getting a fight where the fresher fighter wins on that basis alone, knowing he couldn’t have last the opponents gloves at both their best.

Man - Chocolatito has alot of miles on him for 32... This might be his last hurrah.

Great catch bro - I thought I was the ONLY one here. Seen every tour since Pure Phase! You???

I have no idea on this one Chocolatito has had better days then again Kal hasn't looked great since he beat Luis Conception. Maybe he's had a hard time getting up for those opponents since or he's on the slide himself. I'm very unsure on this one.

Yeah but never got to see them live much. I saw them at a festival in London last year and once before that, probably the year before. Are you into Spacemen 3 as well?

Actually the press agent for my new band used to also do it for Spiritualized and a few others, which is cool, free tickets next time they tour!

Funny that i saw your avatar actually, i randomly had Soul On Fire in my head this morning.

Sweet man - What is the name of your group???
I had a band in the late 90's and our full length was produced by Keith Cleversley who did Spiritualized's MEDICATION single. He had some pretty good stories about Jason and Kate.
I recently read somewhere that Jason refuses to sign on to a Spacemen 3 reunion even though the money could total over a million...Kinda glad to hear that cus I always thought Jason would eventually end up broke, but if he's turning down numbers like that, he must be doing ok. Sonic on the other hand...
