Good fight - I think Yarde will get him late on, in a solid competitive fight. If we can get Lerrone Richards v Hutchinson and some good undercard fights, that’s a nice nights action.
Very good competitive fight and will be far from easy for Yarde. He will win and Arthur will (so far) be his best win too, and toughest test Kovalev excluded. I see Anthony having issues towards the mid rounds with the movement and jab of a taller opponent but eventually walking Lyndon down and his superior power/strength being the difference.
I’m in the minority but I think Lyndon pulls off the upset here. He has the better fundamentals, size and reach (and an impressive jab). He’s shown a couple of times that he can do the full 12 whereas Yarde hasn’t. The one time he makes it to the 11th round he’s so exhausted that he’s floored by a jab. Yarde went to Kovalev’s backyard and handled that pressure really well so he has that experience to his advantage, and he has power too. Going for the underdog here though.
Yarde is gonna chin him. I think mid rounds. Artur is a poor fighter with a worst resume then Yarde unbelievably.
I think Arthur takes a few early rounds before getting chinned. Yarde has limitations but I think his power is pretty legit. Good fight
Should have been having fights like this, and then another level up again before Kovalev (even though well passed his best). Problem with these intercontinental and silver belts, are, so many people hold such belts without having fought anyone close to even British level.
Who saw arthur vs amin? That plummeted Arthur in my estimations. He cannot handle real pressure atall, he walks back onto the ropes and gets cracked. He was actually KO on his feet in that fight too
