Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev vs. Anthony Yarde & Artem Dalakian vs. David Jiménez RBR.

It's Why Britain doesn't produce many great Fighters anymore .. because of reactions like this.. I mean the guys lost three times now, we reward failure .. who cares if he performed well he's supposed to perform well he gets paid millions to do so by promoters and sponsors... in fact in yardes case if you consider the career he has actually had he's been very fortunate and grossly over paid so far... it was a good fight but I take issue with the great fight label by a long way.. the British media and pundits need to get a grip and stop being sycophants, I mean they will be setting up monthly group meetings next for Fighters who lost that month so they can hug it out and talk about their feelings.. you won't match the Russians and ukrainians etc if you just pamper your Fighters all the time and wrap them up in the media hyperbole comfort blanket

 

Yeah he does hook around and pull back to hit the back of the ear, (Gvozdyk) and you have to factor in the fact he gets away with it when predicting future bouts.

 

Hes clearly not the same guy. The fighter who demolished Cloud would have beaten Browne, Deines and Yarde inside 5. Yea, you can say Cloud isnt the greatest fighter around, but neither are those other 3 fighters. Hes so obviously near the end.

 

It'll be by far Yarde's best win if he were to beat Buatsi.

 

The fact that Beterbiev felt like he needed to invest into the body early to take out Yarde is a massive indicator he is near the end. I understand needing to invest in the body to take the wind out of Gvozdyk's sails. Prime Gvozdyk was a top top fighter. You invest in the body with a fighter of that caliber. But Anthony Freaking Yarde? Prime Beterbiev finishes him whenever he wants to.

 

You underestimated Anthony Yarde, thats very clear. We all did so dont feel bad.

 

Beterbiev better start fighting three times a year if he wants to make much money or really lay down a legacy. He keeps fighting once a year he has about two victory's left in him.

 

Exactly he himself will probably only bring home 200k of his purse after taxes and fees to his team. Good money for a regular guy, but boxing is a young mans career. You cant do it forever. At 38 he has another 40 plus years to live. If I was him I'd try and stack some money over the next year or two and get out with my health.

 

Beterbiev doesn't look 38 to me. When he's in a neutral corner, or in between rounds, he is constantly bouncing on his toes. That is one hard working dude. He probably grew up on a farm or something. Boring.. but tough.

He's also constantly praying to Allah. That sort of thing can get you far in life.

 

From what I understand, Artur is a frugal man, and has never really been looking for the fame or big bucks. For someone with his spartan lifestyle, it's probably plenty!

 

BScene really, yeah usually they are not as bad & been okay, then again all they have to is state it's written by the Bscene Staff & you're good,

SHOWTIME is their daddy.

 

All the same.

 

He needs a big name opponent or fight somewhere like Britain on PPV.

If they can make the Bivol fight in Saudi Arabia that would be a big big money fight.

 

Tunde Ajayi gets a lot of stick on here but credit him last night for an excellent decision instructing the referee to stop the fight.Yarde could have been seriously hurt if it went even a minute longer
