Yarde is a much improved fighter

I thought he looked really good last night, albeit against an average opponent, his defense was on point, he looked quick and powerful.

Anyone think he could cause Beterbiev any problems?

Beterbiev stops him in 6.

Yeah I think that's a safe bet, hopefully Yarde can put up a good effort tho.

Throw a haymaker or 3 early and try to catch Beterbiev cold. Outside of that Yarde is going to get beat down.

If he squares up and stands in front of Beterbiev like that, he'll get KO'd.

He looks good against limited opposition IMO. He’s always had ability but unfortunately he’s always took the path of least resistance towards getting a title shot. I think he’ll be completely unprepared in regard to getting the experience needed to be anywhere near ready for a fight with Beterbiev. Was exactly the same the situation when he fought Kovalev.

Unfortunately, there is a huge gap between two top guys and others.

Ramirez is arguably N.3. in division and he looked like a bum against Bivol.

That three round public workout last night was designed to make him look good. Everyone looks good on the heavy bag.

The only fights on Yarde's record that count for anything are the two against domestic-level opponent Lyndon Arthur and one against a faded world champion in Kovalev. He's 1-2 in fights versus meaningful opposition and I fully expect him to be 1-3 come February.

yarde has no chance against Beterbiev. the only person that doesn't know it is yarde.

Yarde is a much improved fighter
