Would be a good fight. Yarde did better, but Smith held his ground and took punishment well despite losing everyone round. Would like to see this one next tbh. Idk who wins. Close one. Lean towards Smiths beard but Yarde would definitely be the bully in the early going.
Yarde is a real talent. Take away his poor effort, first time around against Arthur and he's done very little wrong.
The only ones who overrate them barring their promoters & inner circle are a few casuals.. if ppl choose to watch them then that's their prerogative.. its theatre, a spectacle, nothing more.. no one with half a brain is overrating them.. that's just u projecting & being a bigoted *******.. yes boxing is complete **** in the UK right now.. but that's the west all over.. gone soft.. it's a dying sport too. MMA will wipe it out eventually.. why would most western kids wanna enter this sport these days? It's a dated, limited martial art form in a framework of huge corruption.. British youth are inclined more & more to MMA these days.. I know, I have kids and nephews myself.. take the chip of your shoulder sunshine
Would love to see this one. I've just got Smith points as I think he could use Lyndon Arthur's strategy to beat Yarde to his strengths, considering Smith is a level or two above Arthur. However, if Yarde makes it a street-slug fest then it will be really close. Its a very good fight. I think Beterbiev wasn't at his best against Yarde, unlike against Smith.
Yarde destroys Smith, Smith doesn't like that power and hand speed combo. Can see Smith just turtling up and getting whooped for the decision or KO if he risks it
