    Imagine if he didn't burn up so much nervous energy at the start. Showed a lot of bottle and one of those instances he will come out a victor in defeat.

    He'll be a huge favorite if people are picking based on their skills and not their KO %

    This was not the man who beat Gvozdyk. That ship has sailed.

    Weird night. We saw everything bad about boxing (youtude idiot) and everything good (Yarde/Beterbiev giving all they had). Excellent main event!

    Yarde would have got mashed up. Reminds me of Bellew Usyk - Bellew only looked in the fight for 4 or 5 rounds because he was fighting at absolute maximum. It's unsustainable and you'll get found out eventually.

    Fighting like this, you look like you've got huge nads, but you're always gonna lose unless you land the big one.

    Yarde fought the right fight, though. Kudos.

    He is elite, he's 3rd in the division.

    Beterbiev finally showed his age in this one, but he still won impressively.

    It was a great fight to watch. And it was competitive in places. Yarde acquitted himself well but Beterbiev had too much experience. He's very good at pacing himself too - you could see points in the fight where he took his foot off the gas a little, which is a sign of a great fighter who knows how to manage a fight.

    No, he's not. How can Yarde be #3 in the division if he lost to Kovalev and Beterbiev and is probably not better than Bivol? Log off dude.

    Excuses, Excuses. Kovalev was a drunk coming of two KO losses. Artur is as clean as they come and is a gymrat.

    Good scrap Yarde did better than expected. Respect to both men. Quality fight.

    He was nervous and for a fair amount of rounds was pushing punches. Still he did himself proud.

    Good call by Yarde team. He literally got rocked again by the punch he got knocked down with immediately. It would have been a lamb to slaughter. Yarde could barely talk to his team and he was barely able to walk forward to the ref, didn't even lift his arms up all the way.

    Great fight.

    Beterbiev definitely looks beatable. Bivol is the man to do it. Imagine if Yarde had Bivol footwork, he would have won this fight. What I'm saying is, Bivol has head movement and activity Yarde does but he has the footwork to defend and not get hit as much as Yarde.
