Comments Thread For: Yarde: Stylistically, Me Against Beterbiev Is A Blockbuster Fight; Someone's Getting Knocked Out

Better Beast by KO in 3, maybe 4. Yarde will be game, but game won't get it done.

The fickle, bitter fans of this forum are never satisfied. When a fighter cherry picks and refuses to take on any meaningful, legitimate challenges they complain. When a fighter like Yarde takes a huge risk by facing Beterbiev, they trash the fight and say it's a worthless matchup. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I suppose.

Yarde was KOd by a jab by Kovalev. Kovalev, a hard puncher in his own right was nowhere close to the level of punishing power Beterbiev brings. Beterbiev is going to make this a painful reminder to Yarde that there are levels to this game far beyond his comprehension. He going to wish Beterbiev’s name never crossed his lips.

Saying "Yarde was KOd by a jab" is not telling the whole story. You make it sound like nothing happened previous to that jab that played a factor in the KO. It wasn't like Yarde came out, got hit by a jab and was floored. He did serious damage to Kovalev early and his inexperienced cornerman Tunde told him to empty the tank. Thus Yarde foolishly went for the KO, punched himself out and Kovalev proceeded to use his jab and range to wear Yarde down until he had absolutely nothing left and then floored him with a jab. To say Yarde was KOd by a jab is leaving out many elements of the equation.

Sure, I run on Bovada and will post it the evening of the fight.

I'll cash app you 10 bucks out of generosity following the fight. Similar to how you flick quarters towards a homeless trumpet player

Rofl... Thanks man. It'll have to be Paypal as I'm in the UK, but 10 bucks should cover some polish for my trumpet.

Anything happen Yarde has a pop and Beterbiev can get carried away with attacking and he's going abroad to fight

How does any of that negate the fact that Yarde was KO’d by a jab? It doesn’t! There have been hundreds of boxers empty the tank, get pummeled and never go down. Yarde was KOd by a jab. Beterbiev is going to make Yarde go night night for quite a while. My point is if Yarde (regardless of any other circumstances) can be KOd by a Jab from an inferior power puncher what does anyone think is going to happen when he faces someone that is a far more powerful punching, higher skilled destroyer?

Beterbiev is 38 with injuries that are starting to pile up...ultimately though, I'm not convinced that Yarde has had the right build up in terms of opposition.

Nobody wants to see this garbage fight.

Nobody wants to see Beterbiev fighting any other than Bivol

and nobody wants to see Bivol fighting any other than Beterbiev either

This ****ty fight shouldn't be happening, and it's only happening because Bob Arum is a ****

and Beterbiev is satisfied hiding from Bivol behind his *** master's skirt

I'm boycotting all Beterbiev's fights until he grows a pair and stands up to his master and FIGHTS BIVOL

Fight Bivol or retire the **** out already
