Comments Thread For: Beterbiev-Yarde Is A True Puncher vs. Puncher Clash

[MulaKO]

I reckon its the most desired fight now amongst hardcore fans

its above Spence-Crawford because - yeah, that ship sailed, and seems even less likely now Spence is fighting at 154
it's above Tank-Ryan as a fight - maybe not as a spectacle and definitely not for pre-fight hype or money on the table
its above Usyk-Fury because that could be boring as hell and lets face it, when has Fury been exciting except with Wilder? so who forced the excitement?

The only other fights on the horizon that bring great intrigue are Shakur-Tank, Inoue-Fulton and Ennis and Ortiz either against each other or vs Spence or Crawford. I guess Canelo Benavidez if that ever gets made.

Yup , you hit that right on
Spence vs Bud for me it’s becoming my May vs Pac
Usyk vs Fury is ok I guess although I can’t stand Fury , to many lies and his shtick is stale as fugh
Tank vs Ryan gets me revved up and as will Canelo vs Benevidez
All that said , I think two of the fighters of our era need to unify and this gets my gears going lol
I think many will follow once it’s announced

Anything can happen in Boxing... But let's be real here ... Last few fights showed us Beterbiev isn't on the merge of slowing down... Yarde is a good Kid, but he's going down like all the others ... Better try a Hail Mary soon ...

[Silence]

Pure boxing against Artur is waste of time. Gvozdyk should have beat the crap out of him with this logic but lost badly. He couldn't even outbox Artur convincingly.

Yarde should search for one big punch to chin him. If Artur loses, that will be from KO imo. I'd never be shocked if Artur loses by KO.

I just want to see a hectic back n forth battle between these 2 sluggers, worth mentioning both guys have tested canvas before so anything can happen no matter how favorite beterviev appears to be. May the best man win

Beterbiev has become more cerebral of his boxing and more aware of his popularity. He has 38 years of tough life experiences to lean on and he'll approach the fight sensibly in calculated manner. He knows this is Yarde's big chance in his own home town, with a domestic referee and judges in bias of Yarde.

I think he'll try and counter Yarde in the opening rounds and give him a taste of the power at the very end (like Dienes). He'll then adapt to whatever Yarde is doing, work out his patterns and rythmn and then take him out as soon as he gets a chance.

Yarde likes to use that shoulder roll posture but he doesn't move his head off centre line and comes at you in straight lines. Beterbiev can just walk him onto a counter overhand right going backwards and close the show. Watch for that shot most of all.

Yarde is a puncher, but Beterbiev is a puncher and a great boxer.

I am saying again, only Beterbiev - Bivol is a good fight at 175 at this point.

Ramirez and Canelo can fight for N.3. position.

Mismatch. Why is Yarde's power being so overated?? Who has he knocked out?? He couldnt knockdown a old tottering kovalev who was there for the taking... does he hit harder then callum johnson??? Does he have a better chin then Joe Smith? I think Yarde comes out guns blazing and gets picked apart fairly quickly and easily... he will learn the hard way that fighting unknown journey men who dont fight back does NOT prepare you for genuine undefeated monsters like Beterbiev.

[BlackRobb]

This is another shameless mismatch. Just like the Smith fight was. Don't let Bob sell you dog s**t and call it caviar. The only fight at 175 that matters is Bivol-Beterbiev. Everything else is chopped liver.

[Bullrider]

Fans see no possibility of upset. I do.

[richardt]

I wouldn't mind seeing each get a knockdown and then seeing the fight end in a KO like I expect. I think the one sure bet is that this fight has no way of going the distance. Even in some fights where both are a puncher, sometimes those goes the distance but this one cannot possibly go the distance. But I love upsets and it would be great to see one but I doubt it.
