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

[Neil Gee]

Yarde needs to force Arthur to fight because he's been outfoxed at distance in the first 4

[Grilling Machine]

Yarde's too far for a left hook and looking for an all-or-nothing righthand.

When Yarde moves to the side he visibly lifts his rear foot, so you know it's okay to pop the jab then because he's not throwing anything less than fully committed rights. He needs to learn to slide that rear foot.

This is like a spar.

[gregregegg]

Yard might of won that round based on 1 decent punch.. that says a bit.

[TheLeprechaun]

Yarde is going to have to start walking through Arthur. Just let your hands go

[Frostieballs]

I don’t think it that’s bad.... yet.

Hopefully it’s tactical and warming up to something, but I’ll stand corrected if this carries on!!

[Old bones Ian]

2 times hes let Yarde out without a gumshield , I've never seen that before , shocking .

Yarde is running that corner not the trainer

[high tower 1]

This is awful

[TheLeprechaun]

This is awful

I think this is clearly the worst card of the year.

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

Didn’t throw it in the 2nd either.

Or the third. If he has hurt his hand thats fucked. cant go into the biggest fight of your life with a bad right hand... still winning, if he wins one handed... that would be a nice little thing to brag about...

He threw one

[Ricky]

What a snoozefest

[skanksta]

4-1 KA

Yarde is doing very little. Tunde reminiscent of Tesco Joe @ Quigg vs Frampton.

[Neil Gee]

Yarde disappointingly cautious

Yarde is going to have to start walking through Arthur. Just let your hands go

All well and good saying that. He’s probably being told by Tunde that he’s winning....

[Enlightened-One]

The rounds are close but I haven’t scored one for Yarde.

The pace of the bout is so sedate that I don’t expect Arthur to run out of gas.

Yarde needs to do something really significant in order to take ownership of the winning momentum, because if he doesn’t do it soon, an upset seems very likely.

[Frostieballs]

Boys. Have Match of the Day on at the same time!

[Boxing Prospect]

Jesus Yarde is a terrible boxer... Suspect he'll catch him at some point but... Jesus he's being exposed as technically poor here

[Kilburn]

Well I’m finding it interesting.

Yarde looks threatening but for the most part unsure of what to do, Arthur looks like an awkward but very fit man with a chip on his shoulder.

[TheLeprechaun]

Yarde is going to have to start walking through Arthur. Just let your hands go

All well and good saying that. He’s probably being told by Tunde that he’s winning....

Yeah he probably thinks he's winning. He never really comes across as the sharpest guy. Choosing to have Tunde in your corner as head trainer doesn't exactly make you the Einstein of boxing.

[skanksta]

This is Kovalev 2 at the moment - gonna have to empty the tank in R8...

[MightyWarrior]

Yarde getting bamboozled by a one-handed Arthur

[MightyWarrior]

Lions in the camp says Tunde between rounds...good advice… dont forget the gumshield

[TheLeprechaun]

He's probably still liable to gas even doing this. Too much muscle mass

[Frostieballs]

Does anyone else find the red round number on BT Sport hard to read?
