Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Stops Anthony Yarde in Eighth of Fire-Fight

[BlackRobb]

Beterbiev gets hit too cleanly now. That will be the difference if he fights Bivol. Bivol will pick him off all night and unlike other opponents, he doesn't get cornered. Hats off to Yarde. He did much, much better than I expected. A good next fight for him would be Joe Smith or Marcus Browne. A win over either puts him right back in the mix.

2023 undisputed at 175, Usyk v Fury undisputed@ HW, Loma v Haney undisputed at 135, Jermell v Harrison / Kud-zoo undisputed at 154, Monster got all the straps at 118....damn shame we can't get undisputed at 147....F.U. Terrence Crawford

You mean F.U. Earl Sprintz aka #CapSeason

Beterbiev allowed the slugfest to happen because he knew what he's dealing with. For someone who has fought HW in the past during armature days, I don't think he's worried too much about Yarde's power. Beterbiev can win more convincingly if he just box and break Yarde slowly but it wouldn't be an exciting match. Beterbiev always want to put up a good show. Credits to Yarde to be able to take so many clean power shots and land land some of his own.

Come on, Beterbiev got hurt a couple of times and was backpedaling a bit. Yarde has heavy, snappy counters and was catching him.

Beterbiev a beast though, even at 38.

Props to Yarde. I thought Beterbiev was gonna decimated him and I had him (Yarde) up by 1 round at the time of the stoppage. I personally thought it was a premature corner stoppage. Even though Yarde didn't look like he wasn't gonna make it out the round, it's a title fight. He could've let him hang a little longer.

It’s dudes like this. Same as the judge who had yarde up by 3. Let’s be real here, yarde never won more than two clear rounds. And was saved from being brutally ko’d.

Let Canelo try some piece of Bertebiev! Bivol is in danger! ☢️

Bivol isn't that good, he was lucky to get a win against Spider Richards a few fights ago.

Beterbiev is a beast and punches way harder than Canelo

He may hit harder but Bivol is not gonna stand there to be hit

2 judges were setting the fight up for a robbery in favour of the local boy.

No way Yarde was up 1 round before it ended. He was eating the jab all night. He got smashed and was holding on at three separate occasions.

[SteveM]

put some respect on Yarde's name!

Is he the 3rd best LHW right now?

Canelo was taken to the cleaners for twelve rounds by Bivol. Yarde maybe needed to be 10% better to beat Artur tonight.

I don't favour Callum Smith or Buatsi against Yarde, And Canelo, who doesn't belong at LHW will not fight Yarde - too much wear and tear even if he could win.

Yarde’s movement and footwork went to hell when he got hurt and tired just as he did against Kov. Even spit out his mouth piece.

Beterbiev will land, don't worry about that.
