Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur

What fights are on the undercard for this?

 

I like Lyndon's chances in this. He's from an elite camp, and Pat Barrett is probably the most underrated coach in the country, a real old school professional who's been there and done it in the ring himself under Brian Hughes. The guy in the corner for Yarde looks like he learned his trade watching famous fighters on YouTube and telling his fighter to copy them. If Arthur is there after 5, and I think he will be, his much more well rounded boxing ability will really tell I reckon.

 

Arthur 5/1 for this...even better if you go for a points decision (7/1) or stoppage (16/1).

 

Just seen the stare down. Tunde and Yarde shouting lions in the camp. Like the Chuckle Brothers them two.

I get as many wrong as I get right, but I’ll take this one.

 

Close, very technical fight. I enjoyed watching. Chuffed that Lyndon got the win. Simple well timed jabbing and moving.

 

Congratulations to Lyndon, well done fella, you deserve it and have earned it.

To Leroy from fame, "Sorry" Yarde, you aint no superstar....

 

Watching him tonight, lots to like but he is only a baby, so hopefully they take it nice and slow with him, there really is no rush.

Have to say... An excellent piece of match making for him tonight.

He had the opportunity to go through the gears, he had the opportunity to show his skills and most importantly he got hit back, he had to work and think about a few things.

That fight tonight is worth so much long term, he can go away and iron out some things and work on other stuff.


If I'm really harsh, A few little bad habits that will hurt him if he continues to do them down the line, for example.. like sticking his glove in his opponents face to keep him off, you just can't do that and the referee let him get away with it quite a lot.

 

Apparently there is a rematch clause in the Arthur vs Yarde contract.

Proper like Arthur, he seriously doubts himself you can see - in the corner sometimes he looked deflated even when he was doing well in rounds. Needs to hold his head high after that performance.

 

It makes you warm to a guy when he’s like that. I wasn’t fussed on Dubois but after his interview following defeat last week I will now be supporting him as he progresses.
The difference between them and Yarde is night and day.

 

Didn’t think there was any doubt who won, Yarde was clueless. Commentary was poor from the duo. No surprise that the sole judge who carded for Yarde was Lewis.
Just shows how far down the slope Kovalev is, that he even had one round of discomfort with Yarde. No wonder Alvarez’s brains trust leapt in to buy his shakey belt.
As long as he doesn’t do a Tyson pre’ Spinks, punching walls, Lyndon’s right should serve him well in the return,
I hope so!

 

You can imagine in the rematch if Lyndon has a fully functional right hand that he will win by stoppage. Yarde will fancy his chances for a knockout and go for it earlier, but if he doesn't knock him out he will gas and if he's shipping right hands he'll be in trouble.
