Comments Thread For: Yarde Won't Be Looking For Points in Beterbiev Fight, He Wants KO

[MulaKO]

I know what a fighter turning away and gets caught in the back of the head looks like. Mayweather did it to Hatton several times

What I'm talking about is a fighter standing squared up to Artur using the high guard and Artur throwing looping punches that go around the gloves and land to the back of the head. That's what I'm talking about

I understood but still haven’t heard any boxer say hey he’s got that looping shot that goes around to the back of the head
If it was the case , I’m pretty damn sure a fighter would milk it for what it’s worth

You really believe Yarde would win a slugfest against the slugger ?

I think his best chance is stun Beterbiev in an exchange like Callum Johnson did. Beterbiev has a higher IQ than Yarde, and Yarde's stamina is questionable. The longer the fight goes, the less chance I give Yarde. He needs to force Beterbiev's hand early, force him on the backfoot and into frequent exchanges. If Yarde tries to jab and get cute with Beterbiev, he's gonna be wasting precious time and energy.

That’s one of the better strategies that I’ve heard but once he tastes the power of Beterbiev it’s all downhill from there on
I’ve witnessed Artur fight on many different occasions and the sound his punches make on contact , you wouldn’t fughin believe me but you feel it yourself
Remember that Yarde was not very tentative to taste old man Kovi’s punches , I can say without doubt Artur’s punches are way harder
Imo , it will be a very early night

They're both pumped up weight lifters and will get tired. If your head gets stuck in the ropes wait for the ref to break it, don't give the guy a free shot.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Artur will destroy this guy.

Only Bivol is a serious competition for Artur at 175.

I do like an underdog and Yarde catching him knocking him out would be a huge upset. I hope it happens but it's much more likely that Yarde gets beat down. I hope he has a compassionate corner and ref.

This is ultimately why Yarde has little chance at winning. Power/speed/athelticism will help him land something devastating on Beterbiev, but will Yarde be able to take the heat coming back? If he can't, any strategy will begin to unravel just like it did with Joe Smith. I just can't envision a scenario where this fight goes the distance. Somebody's going to the hospital.

Yarde has a pretty good chance only if he tries to KO Bertebiev im the early rounds. Bertebiev is a diesel type of fighter but has a great chin. Best of luck. Yarde will need a lot of it.

You got that right ( hospital ) and it ain’t the champ lol

I am counting down the days until this fight. This is a sneaky good fight for the casuals, but all of us know it will be a blast.
