Round-by-Round: Anthony Yarde vs. Lyndon Arthur - 5 December 2020

[milpool]

I thought McCann was from Maidstone, he speaks with an Irish twang, is that were he's from originally?

Kent traveller I believe.

Irish twang?!?!? He sounds like he's in an episode of Father Ted.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Main event time. And it’s only 10pm..

Small card that’s why..

Nice change for a FW card..

[Neil Gee]

I'm going with the bookies I fancy Yarde for this one but hoping for a competitive contest. Looking forward.

I'm not great on accents but knew he didn't sound like someone from Kent!

Can’t see anything but a Yarde win. Probably tko.

Can get a longer sleep in before Spence v Garcia now

[Fightnight Scores]

What's everyone saying for this one then? Bookies have it quite wide but a lot of boxing folk I've seen predicting the upset.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Just shouting ‘lions in the camp’ all the time..

[jameswilson]

I see a lot of arrogance in the Yarde camp and have done for years. Kovalev aside Yarde has feasted on shite so I’ve no idea why he walks round like a god shouting lions in the camp. Granted hes got a great set of tits tho.

I thought Spelman should have been pulled out against Arthur as he was miles behind on points late on and had a badly swollen face. Definitely a case to be said Spellman softened him up for Yarde to finish. Yarde exaggerating his height also say to me he’s someone who needs to be on top.

Would love to see Lyndon Arthur do it. There seems a lot more humility from him and Pat Barrett.

Agreed.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Andy Lee has been the best boxer so far tonight

[Neil Gee]

Commentary really talking up a Lyndon Arthur 'upset'.

[skanksta]

I think people were betting Arthur @ 5/1 and more rather than betting on Arthur.
Arthur is longer, very strong and well-schooled, but you just can't see him beating the big beasts @ 175.
Yarde you can.

I'd guess a close fight with Arthur maybe a round or so up before a Yarde stoppage around about the 9th.

[My T Sharp]

Shame his nickname isn’t “my milkshakes bring all the boys to the”

I'm sticking with Yarde. Seems a big step up for Arthur having fought nobody really of note so far. Hope I'm wrong though.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Worst opening round seen in a long time.

[MightyWarrior]

There is a rumour Arthur hurt his right hand in the warmup.. he didn’t throw one in the first round.. let’s hope it’s not true

[Neil Gee]

More feinting than punching in the opener

[Ricky]

pathetic round,. 9-9.

[My T Sharp]

Maybe 2 punches landed that round

[NoScoutingReports]

Shame his nickname isn’t “my milkshakes bring all the boys to the”

missed a trick.

10-9 KA
King Arthur nicks the round with a few decent jabs.

[gregregegg]

tight first round for Arthur. cant blame him for doing just enough to nick a free round.

[Kilburn]

Got to give the first round to Arthur.

Looks very comfortable with the occasion although will need to do more from here.
