Anthony David Benavidez vs. Anthony Dwayne Duncan Yarde & Brian Norman Jr. vs. Devin Haney RBR.

He probably left a lot of money on the table not fighting Craig Richards, Dan Azeez, Callum Smith, Callum Johnson etc. who he has much better chances against than fighting Lyndon Arthur 3 times and thinking he is world level because he hurt Kovalev and was brave enough to swing back at Beterbiev. He's talented but just took the wrong path in terms of management and fights.

 

Yarde doesnt seem to have had the power the last few fights. Maybe to manage stamina but he used to be a vicous puncher. Now he seems to have lost that.

You cant let someone like benevidez walk you down unless your counters are hitting him hard.

His shell is ok but once a few start landing, a few more start to get through, then more and then its stopped.

 

Homebody don’t wanna run a fade with Opetaia.

 

Zurdo ducked Opetaia for a year. He's now fighting a guy smaller than him.

 

Yeah I don’t know why people expected that. He’s always been a conservative counter puncher when he’s not in against a Latvian bricklayer.

 

I don't get the Zurdo fight. Is he just looking for belts in multiple division?

 

I didn't see the Mason fight but all in all I dont think these fights lived up to the hype.

The Haney fight was boring.

The Benavidez fight never caught fire and Yarde didn't really take any risks.

I like Benavidez but he's still without an A level win and I'm kinda disappointed he's skipping the big names at Light Heavyweight.

 

Honestly bro I think it's Zurdo ducking Opetaia. I swear ODLH said they needed a warm up fight for Zurdo before he'd face Jai. Weak ass ****.

 

Ok you mean Zurdo is ducking not Benavidez. Again, Zurdo will make more $$$ against Benavidez than Opataia; the winner should fight Jai for sure.

 

Well, I enjoyed that, thought it was worth staying up for. Really impressed by Mason, a fan friendly slick fighter. Rodriguez made the sport look stupidly easy tonight and I enjoyed Haney’s performance.

Main event wasn’t competitive and let it down a bit but it was a decent card and not a disappointment IMO.

 

i agree. bivol is slick enough and disciplined enough to stay just ahead of the volume. but doing it for 12 is where the problem be...

 

It's called PRIZE fighting not DUCK fighting. Money talks.

 

I see Benavidez outboxing Zurdo. Zurdo is slow and not the greatest boxer. Zurdo does have a chin and size.
