Yafai needs to step up ffs 17 fights is alot not to fight for a world title for a flyweight.
OUCH
Before the fight and just watching at the boxer records/rankings most likely you would be right if making a guess about the winner fighter. it was not contest for the British. Very poor selection of opponent.
