    Yarde is tough as nails, you can't compare Yarde's style to Bivol.

    Not happy with the way the fight ended, Yarde should be allowed to go down on his shield he weathered the storm in a lot of the encounters in there.

    credit to yarde and beterbiev great scrap, just wanted a different ending

    Beterbiev beats Bivol easily too, people don't understand that Beterbiev is a different type of warrior.

    I thought the outcome was never in doubt tbh, so I didn’t enjoy it that much. Yarde was tough but his punches weren’t landing, and he was getting outboxed. Beterbiev going backwards wasn’t him being hurt by invisible punches as the commentators were saying, it was as you are saying - pacing and foot off the gas to let Yarde tire

    I don't think Beterbiev will be hitting Bivol a lot. They have to fight. They are the 2 best in their division.

    Meanwhile Davis could rematch Gamboa and they’ll charge $70.

    It's going to be an exciting contest. I couldn't pick a winner but it seems that momentum is with Bivol.

    Breaking news...

    " If it bleeds it can be killed."

    Bivol talking about Beterbiev.

    Ever hear of Joe Smith JR.? Bivol can take a punch.

    There are only two elite guys at 175 and those are Bivol and Beterbiev. Kovalev was an elite fighter back in the days but is a drug addict these days and probably shot to pieces. Yarde could probably beat him in 2023 but he lost to him so it'd be unfair to rate Yarde above Kovalev.

    I think Callum Smith is a pretty decent contender at 175 as well. I'd favor him big time over Yarde. Yarde has a lot of 50/50 matchups at 175 but i don't think he's elite. Him against Smith/Zurdo/Buatsi/Browne are basically 50/50 fights.

    To be fair to the devil himself, Top Rank has put some quality fights on basic cable and their streaming service that is one of the best deals in streaming even without boxing.
