Beterbiev within four. Yarde is decent but no better than that and certainly not world level. Think this will be a far easier nights work for Beterbiev than many think. Not convinced he even earnt this shot tbh. Looking forward to the fight though and once Artur deals with him we can hopefully get the Bivol fight in Summer.
Rooting for Yarde but Beterbiev is going to do him some serious damage in this fight. Can see a flying towel on Saturday from the Yarde corner. Respect for Yarde taking this fight as a huge underdog.
That's how they'll try and push this fight more now but the fact is that there's a massive gulf in class between Beterbiev and Yarde whereas a lot of us had Smith down as the better boxer against Eubank Jnr with only chins being the thing to separate them, so most of the boxing World thought. Yarde can bang and Beterbiev has been dropped before but I just think the margins are too big in this one.
Where’s that idiot Beatdownz or whatever his name is, saying this fight would no way happen lol Beterbiev by beatdown (no z), pardon the pun
Should be fun. Hoping Yarde gets it done but I worry about his gas tank if it goes to the second half of the fight
I am very much looking forward to this. I loved the Kovalev Yarde scrap. Yarde has zero chance but it will be entertaining nonetheless.
No one giving Yarde a chance. After Smith winning, being an underdog, I'd say it's worth putting a few bob on Yarde. I doubt he'd win though but there's a slim chance and some money to be made.
Smith was up against Eubank Jr. Yarde is up against a terminator who has a 300 - 2 amateur record, or something like that... No shame in being knocked out by Beterbiev.
Beterbiev miles better than Eubank Jnr and Smith much better than Yarde. This would be up there with Honeyghan and Curry
