    Sunny seems like the obviously better fighter to me. Not sure how good Yafai does here.

      I always enjoy a Yafai fight, whichever brother, win or lose.

        Looks too damn early for Yafai. He obviously has the skills but the gulf in professional experience is vast. I don't know why his people took this one.

          On the contrary, for the lighter divisions I think the 8th fight isn't the craziest time to challenge for a belt if you have faith in their talent. He's also 31 already so it really is a now or never timing, if he waits until he's 15-0 he will be like 34. Not to mention Sunny is as feather fisted as feather can be, so unlikely Yafai gets damaged too much even if he loses.

          I mean just this year, both Nishida and Takei fought E-Rod and Moloney and won a belt on their 9th fight, and in July Olascuaga won a vacant belt on his 8th fight.
