Beterbiev/Yarde Confirmed. Beterbiev Running From Bivol... AGAIN

[paulf]

Beterbiev is ducking. Period. He ran from DAZN when Bivol was there.

He ran from Bivol again when he's open to negotiate.


It is irrefutable.

Then why does everyone in this thread think you're an idiot?

Don’t rag on Smith too hard. He’s proven far more than Yarde and would probably knock Yard the *** out. Yard has issues on the domestic level. He can do better than Smith as plenty of guys lower level have done, it just shows how bad Smith’s gameplan was.

His gameplan was bad but I think at the same time him fighting that way was the only way he could also have a chance of winning.

Yarde doesn't have fast hands or feet. he's basically exactly like Beterbiev lol

he's a slugger

Well his hands aren't slow for a big light heavyweight, his feet are very slow for most part granted and he relies on a lot of posturing, a variety of guards and slips to close range but I think he can close distance quickly with his feet when he needs to. He's got a lot of fast twitch muscle fibres and is explosive.
His style is more about being conservative and not wasting energy. He fights in bursts and can definitely speed his feet up when needed. It could certainly be doing with some work, some drills but I do think he can shift a bit when needed.

If there is anything underrated about Beterbiev I'd say it was his footwork and his footspeed, his lateral movement. I think it gets a bit overlooked because he lacks a little fluidity up top and is a bit rigid and stiff in his upper body but his footwork and placement is very good. I thought he adjusted well with his feet vs Johnson and his feet were excellent vs Smith and created all the openings he needed.

Bivol had the chance to sign with Top Rank or DAZN when Top Rank had all the belts other than his. We all know who he signed with. Not blaming him because there was more money with DAZN but right after signing with DAZN he also said he wanted all the belts but his actions say otherwise.

Not a big fan of UK fighters in general but Beterbiev vs Yarde is a fun fight so I am not mad at it. The only reason Hearn is acting like he wants this fight asap is because Bob Arum's "Dead Zone" comments.

To think either of these men are running scared from each other is pretty laughable.

Just boxing politricks as usual.
