Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev vs. Anthony Yarde Official, January 28 at OVO Arena

[Body the jab]

Assuming Beterbiev hasn't aged over night, he'll get the KO win (maybe in the middle rounds). Yarde has good physical attributes and decent power but lacks experience.

[A.B Counterhooks]

Get in there Yarde! Should be good fight while it lasts.

Can this PLEASE be the last side street before the roads all lead to Beterbiev and Bivol? Please????

[JakeTheBoxer]

Beterbiev by a huge KO inside 6 rounds.

Non active fighter beats Artur or Dmitry at 175.

I mean - Artur's got to get old some time I'm sure, but the dude's clean living and lives in the gym. Allso his style isn't really about speed but about intelligent relentless pressure in combination with his concussive power at any range. It should have decent longevity.

If Yarde was getting outboxed and ultimately KOd by a 37 year old Kovalev toboggoning down the slope to retirement I'm can't see how he beats even a 38 year old Artur. And it ain't even like he can count on the home cooking cos like - it won't go the distance.

Don't forget, Kovalev was also fighting with the flu at the time of the Yarde fight. lol.

It's interesting... this does however have upset written on it.

Yarde certainly got the experience of fighting with a heavy hitting champion.... in Russia.

I think as long as he can calm his nerves and applies himself, he may have a chance.

Yarde certainly can crack.... and Beterbiev can certainly be hit... he is definitely not a Bivol. As long as Yarde does not fall apart from getting one or two big punches from Artur... Yarde can certainly make this a slugfest and perhaps the younger, fresher guy can win.

Then again, Yarde was stopped by a Kovalev Jab. lol. (though that was largely due to the fact that Yarde blew his load in the prior rounds trying to get Kovalev out.)

Don't see Yarde winning but I am rooting for you.

[just the facts]

Yarde by KO in 5!

Sarcasm?

Sarcasm?

Youth will prevail! I'll be the one with extra cash in my pocket!

Doubtful. I can’t realistically see Yarde hearing the final bell let alone winning.

[jaded]

I don't give Yarde an inch of a chance...he fights squared up and comes forward. He's made for the Beterbiev KO.
