A long break to recover then a couple of tick over fights to get back into title contention. He doesn't need Callum Smith in his life because he...
Callum Smith has godly power in his fists at 175. His left hook is terrifying.
It's going to be an exciting contest. I couldn't pick a winner but it seems that momentum is with Bivol.
A few collisions of heads helped the marking up as well.
It's adrenaline dump and nervous energy. It's very difficult to train a fighter out of that.
He was nervous and for a fair amount of rounds was pushing punches. Still he did himself proud.
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...
Saved Yarde's life and pride. The man was running on fumes for half the fight and he was going to be seriously hurt. Tunde gets a lot of criticism...
Yarde looking gassed again now. Losing balance.
One more time has to be a point deduction I expect.
Don't be harsh on Yarde. He's giving it all he can.
Yarde looking less nervous. Taking a few punches may have actually helped him!
Looked a clash of heads for Beterbiev's cut. Think he looked like he was starting to perform surgery on Yarde that round. Took it for me.
Great scrap so far.
Reminds me of Price vs Povetkin. Even in defeat can come out a winner.
