He was? I consider myself a casual and couldn't see Yafai winning, too. If i were a betting man I would have been richer now haha

Yafai is good enough to have chosen his normal tactics rather than stand and trade. What on earth was he thinking?

Delighted that Chocolatito won but was actually looking forward to seeing a better Yafai for him to work on.

Still happy though. What a performance.

I'm English and I know almost nothing about Yafai. I watched some of his early fights and he looked good (but who doesn't early on). But then just forgot about him. I didn't even know he was champion.

No one here (outside of boxing people) knows about him so not sure who he has been fighting?

The P4P king is back

The knee injury may have been a blessing in disguise for Gonzalez.

People upset with Yafai forget you can’t stay outside on a guy in front of you moving forward throwing boulders from all angles.

Tyson said it best, everybody has a plan until you get punched in the mouth. Castillo closed the gap on Mayweather, it happens.

Chocolatito is the greatest. A rematch with Estrada is a great fight. Not sure he wins but would be great.

Yafai's battle plan coming into the fight (slug it out with a HOF KO king) was worse than Napoleon's plan to invade Russia in the winter time.

now yafai fought a real test
unification against estrada,ioka,ancajas

Ioka is fighting Tanaka (can't ****ing wait!!!)

Choc vs Estrada II or Ancajas would be great though

First of all huge props to Chocolatito!!👏👏
Yafai should have known better. When a fighter starts idolizing, comparing or emulating that hammed guy, wanabe a prince or whatever, is the kiss of defeat. I'm trying to not be cynical. Ok, I'll drop it for now but did I say "Congratulations Chocolatito!!!"!
