Yafai's tactical approach brings gold home
Great Britain's Galal Yafai fought his way into the record books on Saturday, claiming a gold medal in the men's flyweight division — Britain's first gold in the men's flyweight division since the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games.
Yafai put on a brilliant display in the gold-medal match, where he faced Philippines' Carlo Paalam. Yafai dominated from start to finish, even knocking Paalam to the canvas in Round 1. Though Paalam put forth a solid last-ditch effort in Round 3, it proved to be too little, too late.
Paalam went home with a silver medal, the Philippines' first-ever medal in the men's flyweight division.
