Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde

Fight is this Saturday. Yarde pretty much has no chance, but we can at least have a good indicator to see if Beterbiev is still fresh enough to be a threat to Bivol.

 

Beterbiev is more than a threat to Bivol. He's the favorite.

 

bivol will be favored

 

Id make bivol a solid favorite over beter

 

If Beter is his normal self, I see him as superior to Bivol.

 

bivol opened at -130 favorite

 

By Canelo...

 

Yarde has a punchers chance.....my doubts are related to how well how he did Vs Kovalev. That he had Kovalev hanging by a thread was impressive.

That he failed to finish him, gassed, and got KOd by a jab was not.

 

We'll see how he looks against Yarde. He looked fine against Smith.

I think at his best he'll break down Bivol.

Beter ain't Canelo or Zurdo.

 

Stylistically he would be a nightmare even for a brilliant fighter like Bivol. But age will always be a significant factor considering that he's already 38 years old.

 

Big difference in handspeed in Yardes favour. Beterbiev should win but Yarde has a big chance.

 

Better is going to batter him but I'll put a tenner on Antnee just in case. We've already had one shock KO when Autism knocked out Sebastian.

 

Yarde is 6/1 to score a KO. Bookies not exactly sure of themselves

 

Beterbiev is ripe to lose this year. Yarde got an outside shot early but he's mediocre at best

Yarde is pretty much garbage imo, and that he was able to give a fight to Kovalev was a testament of how much Krusha had slipped. Beterbiev chin is still fairly unproven, and Yarde has a decent wallop, but I d be shocked if it s anything else than a mugging in. Beterbiev s favor

 

I think Yarde does have some potential but instead of letting him develop, him or his manager want to cash out quickly.

Yarde hits hard but as Joe Smith Jr bout proved, that alone won't be enough against Beterbiev

 

Like Marcus Browne, Anthony Yarde May Pocket an Early Round or 3 By Virtue of Superior Speed, Fast Twitch Ability…

But Also Like Browne, There’ll Come a Time When Beterbiev’s Acclimated Himself to the AFFletic Difference, at Which Point Yarde’s Ass is Grass…

In the Meantime, Beterbiev Will Be Content BANGING Away at Yarde’s Arms, Shoulders, Wherever He Can Land Until the HEAD Shots Eventually Present Themselves…

Can’t See This Going Past 6-7 Rounds and if it Does, Yarde Will Sustain an EPIC Ass Whupping in the Process…




REED

 

While Age is Always DICEY For Fighters 30+, REED Doesn’t See it as a MAJOR Factor as it Pertains to Beterbiev…He Doesn’t Possess a YOUTHFUL, ENERGETIC Manner of Fighting…

REED Would Be MUCH More Concerned w/a Style Like Lomachenko’s at 38, or Usyk’s at 38…

REED Thinks Beterbiev Could Milk 2023 and Possibly 2024 Before NOTICEABLE Signs of Decline Set In…

And if the Bivol Fight Happens, REED Favors Beterbiev by Late, Come from Behind Stoppage…Bivol Will Be Ahead, it’ll Be Apparent Beterbiev Needs a KO to Win and He’ll Make it Happen…





REED

 

Bivol vs Beterbiev will be the type of fight where one guy is Jack of all trades -type whereas the other knows only one way to fight but it is a helluva way.

At this point I'd pick Bivol. Based on what I saw of him in amateurs, there might still unseen potential in him, if he is pushed to the limit

 

Yarde looked so gassed in the Kovalev fight that he has Frank Bruno-esque stamina

 

Itauma has a glass jaw

 

Unless he's gotten old overnight, Beter is going to bray Yarde, here.

MTF

 

One round in and Beterbiev looks a bit ponderous

 

Can't read defenses.....go back to the NFL thread!

 

Yarde jittery and bouncy asf...

 

Good early action. Yarde doing okay at this stage, as expected.

MTF

 

All twitchy muscle. He's already blowing hard. Stamina draining fast.

MTF

 

Yarde's Frank Bruno-esque stamina issues gonna show up midway through the fight

 

Yarde's cup is UP under his tits..

 

Yarde already too tired to keep his hands up properly.
