Kal Yafai dominated Conception a two weight world champion and an elite fighter in the most one sided world title fight in history, not only did he become Birmingham's first world champion but he also helped British Boxing achieve an unprecedented feat of having a world champion in every division!
It was a travesty that the sky cut off Yafai right after he won and Carl Froch did him no favours on commentary, they put down the win more to Conception doing well; thankfully Adam Smith and Matthew Macklin were a lot more objective. It's not his fault that he was too good for Conception Carl, it doesn't make his win any less significant just because you were so rubbish that you fat ugly chin took quiet a bit of punishment before getting that WBC belt of Pascal !

The way he dominated the fight reminded me of how superb Amir was vs Kotelnik when he won, I'd give Kal all 12 rounds; just go over to sky, very few backed him against Conception and went on to say it would be a tough tough ask! but I had faith in the Birmingham lad, nothing suggested to me he would struggle; Kal should have been a double Olympic Gold medalist but his amateur career had been cut shore due to injuries and other external issues which really should never have got in the way of how brilliant he is and our country should embrace this once in a life time talent.
Kal was swift in his movements and judged range incredibly well, you could see his amateur pedigree with the fantastic footwork but what has made him such a wonderful pro level fighter is his counter punching style which doesn't allow for his opponents to get into a rhythm. Such fighters will be very difficult to beat, Kal has quick hands, he moves really well and he has a top boxing IQ; the only thing which has a question mark is his chin because I've not really seen him take a good shot but that's mostly down to the fact that he rarely allows fighters to hit him flush!
I hope moving forward sky do a better job getting behind Kal and his promoter really needs to look into elevating his profile because he has a gem in his stable, if not Kal could always leave for America where his ability would be truly appreciated because on this night he is not only a world class fighter but borderline elite, I say borderline because he'll have to prove it moving forward.

, it is beyond me what the other two judges were thinking; it should have been 120-108 across the board
