Comments Thread For: Anthony Yarde Reflects On Loss To Beterbiev, Corner Stopping The Fight

[Tatabanya]

All in all , your right , he didn’t deserve or earn this fight
The reason why this fight lasted as long as it did is cause Artur showed him to much respect and imo , he had a bad night
From start , his timing was off and wasn’t well balanced
Hence , the reason why he was missing and even stumbling in the first few rounds

Beterbiev looked worse in other fights, the Adam Deines one comes to mind.

Actually I think the opposite: perhaps he was NOT respecting Yarde too much at the beginning, took him a bit lightly and didn't look that tight. When he realized that Yarde was hitting him too easily and make him miss, then Artur started shifting gears.

Good point T
Hey maybe and why not
Didn’t think of it that way but yeah maybe
All I know is Artur will be a totally different beast against Bivol , that’s for sure
It’s literally the only thing he wants , unification
But what did cross my mind was that this was done a little on purpose for Fast Eddie to actually even consider putting Bivol into a mega fight with Beterbiev

Bivol will definitely realize that Beterbiev is no Canelo. But I have serious doubts about the fight truly happening.

Watched the interview this morning. Was pretty funny. likable dude

Definitely won me over both with his performance and his upbeat attitude afterwards. Man gave it his best shot and lost, not much more you can ask of a fighter.

It was a good fight.
But then at the end he looked at his corner to pull him out & he's to happy to loose.
No lion's in that house just wannabe cubs.

Definitely a great lesson to be learned, he boxed great against a monster, I felt he was only in trouble and lost composure only when he got too comfortable and lost respect for beterbiev, which I felt what cost him, beterbiev is monster and dangerous every second even if u tag him well, but he sure does have the tools, the patience approach was needed which got carried away with, great show by both fighters

Definitely don't agree with u, to me looked like he wanted to try and show his legs were under him so he doesn't get stopped. But he was finished good stoppage, he's as tough as he comes when he was getting tagged roughed he got comfortable to battle, but his body was gone in the end

Epic fight! Yarde has nothing to be ashamed of. Both men laid it all out there for the fans.

Could you tell me if the quotes in your signature re: Kirkland are from a book and if so what book? Thanks mate

Yarde did it much better I expected. It was a good fight.
