This content is protected Such a great sit down, one of my favourites I’ve seen. No nonsense, no faux bravado. Just total respect and humility between two fighters who I think will do exactly what they say they will do in the ring. Yarde speaks great here. Obviously I’m going to be Team “Lions in the camp” and want Yarde to do the business but my prediction is Benavidez by stoppage in the first half of the fight. But yeah, watch the face off if you haven’t already, it’s a great watch IMO.
It probably won't come in but had a dabble on Yarde to win by stoppage. Got 11/1 odds (with boost) and couldn't resist a punt at that price
Yarde has always been a class act but in the end it was his loyalty that held him back in his career.
If Yarde had been brought a long correctly he would hold a title. It's that simple. Power, accuracy, timing and although he's been stopped he's not majorly chinny. But his competition to his first world title fight was rubbish there was a load of cannon fodder. Lost the first fight Arthur in bizarre circumstances and he still hasn't really had enough learning fights to develop under fire like any good fighter needs. It's either cannon fodder - Arthur - World class fighter. I get trying to do it the first time. Path of least resistance and all that but it's been the same gam plan ever since. If he'd paced himself Vs Kov instead of listening to that prat in the corner he'd had been a World Champion more than likely.
Yeah Wardley doesn't point out he has had 0 amateur fights. Only other people say that continuously about him.
Benavidez is having real trouble making the weight according to Rick Glaser. Also touched on Tunde. This content is protected
An actual, proper fight. You'd think Benavidiz will win fairly comfortably if all goes to form, but Yarde is a live opponent for sure, stranger things have happened.
If Yarde just ignores whatever nonsense Turde has to say and just does his own thing then he's got a chance. He gave Bebertiev a good scrap.
As much as I’ll be supporting Yarde and hoping he pulls it off, his only real shot is if Benavidez turns up looking like the shell of Eubank Jr we saw last week. Beyond that, Anthony has never bridged the gap to true world level. You can’t keep jumping from domestic-level operators straight into elite fights and expect a different outcome. It’s rinse and repeat for the third time now.
