    I recall Artur himself started dancing and boxing when Yarde was landing in the first half of the fight.


    The problem for Yarde was he doesn't have a good gas tank as shown in the Kovalev fight.



    Benavidez will throw twice the volume with a stationary target in front of him. He would wear Artur down at this point. This is the worst style match-up for Artur at 40. someone to put him on an uphill treadmill and run him into the ground.

      The problem is Benavidez himself will be hurt already in the first half of the fight.

      Beterbiev is no joke. He is not Gavril or Plant.

        in a slugfest, youth almost always wins unfortunately. Given the youthful fighter is durable and has good stamina.


        GGG had to become a boxer in the 2nd Canelo fight.

        Chavez had to pump a jab on the backfoot against Kostya Tszyu. Julio Caesar Chavez getting bullied. Can you imagine that?

          ...Yes so he can get Charlo and Canelo fight which are Huge Fights for him

          That being said, I disagree I think he would be STRONGER at 175 because then he can just Bulk Up instead of Cutting Weight but the $$$ is at 168 so the Weight Cutting is worth it right now

            tbh Benavidez has a good shot at Beterbiev. That would be an amazing fight.

            Beterbiev would stand and trade with Benavidez. Youth and volume has a very good shot.
            They're not just slow. He cross steps way too much and moves forward back foot first too often and has to reposition constantly. Luckily for him, there's no master boxers with elite stamina amongst other things to really take advantage at 168.

            This is in response to his feet only being slow. Funny thing is that Canelo does the same thing with the back foot.

              Yea Benavidez shouldnt move up to 175 just yet. He would get killed.

              He won today but he wasnt all that impressive. That's why I didnt pick him by KO, but a decision.

                Yes, but Benavidez was never hit by a puncher like Beterbiev.

                Your point would be ok if Benavidez was a legit light heavy.
