Comments Thread For: Older and wiser, Anthony Yarde believes the third time's a charm

[BoxingUpdates]

Anthony Yarde believes that the ?experience? gained against Sergey Kovalev and Artur Beterbiev can make the difference when in November he challenges David Benavidez for the WBC light-heavyweight title

Benavidez will outwork and out-class Yarde if he doesn't stop him.

Should be an intriguing fight, Yarde has the tools/weapons to win but has looked very ordinary in his last 2 fights. Yarde's faster and explosive punching will be his key to victory. Benavidez should try to jab and box a little more than he usually does (because Yarde has always had issues with opponents who jab).

Getting into a firefight with Yarde is a bad idea.

Really excited for this. Let's see how good Benny really is. Yarde knows that it ain't Beterbiev he's facing so go in there and smash him to pieces

He'll do all three.

Yarde should have dumped Tunde after Kovalev. Yards should have been far more active.

Yarde's chances, to me at least, depend upon the fact that Benny is visibly slower and lighter fisted at 175, and his engine ain't quite as tuned up as it was at 168. He's still lethal and I suspect he will outpoint Yarde easily, maybe even force a stoppage. I would urge Yarde to beat David at his own game: go to the body. Often. Not many people seem to penetrate David's high guard, and it's often very high, leaving those ribs ready for the sauce. Looking back through Benny's resume, it's shocking how little his opponents actually go to the body. And I think it's going to take a seriously talented body puncher to stop David.

Because of the returned fire especially at 168

The boxing gods may decide yarde deserves a big win just for balls and alone, plus benny wouldn't have lasted any longer with Beterbiev, I'll for yarde to win by TKO

[landotter]

This has "fun fight" written all over it. Yarde has to throw caution to the wind. Nothing to lose and it may be his last real chance to prove he belongs among the best in this division.
