Floyd Schofield III vs Lucas Bahdi WBA lightweight

    by Yamanaka: Floyd Schofield

    Chris Algieri went into Floyd Schofield III vs Lucas Bahdi figuring speed and athleticism would carry Schofield to a comfortable night. Boxing ability too. Instead Bahdi hung around, landed with timing, showed power, and looked like somebody who belongs at world level. Schofield still left with the WBA lightweight title, but the hard-fought part of that win is the thing nobody saw coming. So which is it: did Schofield underperform, or was Bahdi getting slept on the whole time? What's your verdict?
