IAfai’s “Wrong Struggle” choice
Smith did not say what the fight with the Olympic gold Medalist IAfai (9-1, 7 Kos) should be struggling because he tried to push with Rodriguez Jr. It didn’t work. The combined punching and high exit from the Mexican was too much for Iafai, 32, to deal with.
The results were 119-108, 119-108 and 118-109. Rodriguez Jr. He threw the Iafai in the twelfth round and had it on the edge of the knockout. What has been preserved by Galle was posture. He did not try to win in the final. Was in survival mode.
Galal used contact contact for the neutralization of Francisco’s exit, but that was not enough. Rodriguez Jr. He still remained overdosed him by a blow after being free. Its accuracy with a high quantity was unrealistic.

“Eddie (Hearn) said,” Absolutely relentless performance from Rodriguez. A gallal species in a box of wrong fight and went to a bad start. “He discovered what it was like a box at the elite level. And there are times to rebuild at 32. So much loans for Galal Yafai,” Adam said.
