Comments Thread For: Hearn: Artur Beterbiev vs. Anthony Yarde is a Total Mismatch

[Knuckle sandwich]

So Frank gets yarde a crack at Beterbievs titles, and yarde turns it down because he agrees with boxing scene posters, he could never win it, so might as well enjoy watching someone else fight him

[Corelone]

Buatsi is untested, supposedly the better boxer. Yarde can ****, no doubt. Between the two,, I like Yarde. Vs the Beet, Buatsi doesn't box good enough and Yarde doesn't hit hard enough.

[PBR Streetgang]

Eddie is spot on, while pushing for Bivol to fight Bautsi. Hahaha ha, how can you guys like any of these promoters is confusing to me. They're all slimeballs and we shouldn't post anything these guys say until they make a fight. Everything else is BS.

Agree 100%. Whatever they say or do, they have most likely criticized when someone ele said or did the same. Hypocrisy.

As I heard Mario Lopez say, Beterbiev could've fought both Joe Smith and Yarde on the same night, after each other.

Yes, he'd knock out Anthony as well, who's a good puncher but yeah, Artur is on another level.

Wide looping punches like Shawn Porter. Everything from Beterbiev is short and compact and straight unless he is punching you behind the ear when you duck ( a little bit of Andre Ward in him with rabbit shots). Unlike Kovalev he uses a guard mid-range forcing you to try and punch around like Joe Smith while he catches you with those short impact shots. Why do we have to watch this fight? How about Yarde and Buasti in an eliminator?

[FinitoxDinamita]

Better than Smith fight. At least Yarde brings youthful energy combined with speed and power. It's not a total mismatch imo.

[Mofias]

Likely I will get stick for this but I give yarde a very decent chance. Yes he is the big outsider but he will be carry my money to cause the upset.
you heard it here first

I'll be Betting Yarde on this one as well.
Great Returns

Yarde isn't an easy out for anyone in the 175 pound division, but I don't like this fight in particular.
Although I could be wrong because Beterbiev can be dropped, but he has very good recuperative power.
If Yarde isn't able to get Beterbiev's respect, and I mean quick he'll be beat down like all the rest.
I actually hope that their fight turns out to be a competitive match between the both of them.
I'm disappointed because this would've been the perfect time for the unification between Bivol, and Beterbiev.

[deathofaclown]

Maybe it is but it’s a mandatory, so no complaints

Hearn had no problem hyping up Canelo v Yildirim when that was his mando.

At least Yarde showed he can be dangerous v Kovalev.

[TMLT87]

It is, but its about as satisfying and entertaining as a mismatch could be. i'll allow it.

[crimsonfalcon07]

If I thought he would make Bivol v Beterbiev, this would be a much better comment, but he's trying to match Buatsi with Bivol?
