I remember once they asked an American trainer, 'who is the bravest boxer you can think of?' I think they were expecting him to name a guy that went into war after war like Arturo Gatti or Mickey Ward. He said 'Chris Byrd'. Why? Because he got no power to keep MoFos off, all he has is his skills but he keeps getting in there doing it.
I mean, all boxers are brave but, if you think about it, going up against a tank with a peashooter is the bravest thing of all
And that's what I think of when I think of Sunny Edwards.
After getting bam’d, who pretty much took his soul, I don’t believe he had the heart beaten out of him by Yafai, he was beaten mentally before the fight, he clearly didn’t want to be in there. And when you no longer have that fire burning inside of you boxing is the last sport in the world you need to be in.
Good performance by Yafai, to think this was seen as a 50/50 fight as well. they need to keep him away from bam. Let bam do his thing, you work on your game and get some experience at top level if he carries on winning ? He'll eventually catch up to bam
