Round-by-Round: Lyndon Arthur vs. Anthony Yarde II - 4 December 2021

[Kilburn]

And don't call me Shirley

[Dioufy]

Martin Gethin, Cooper’s trainer.
I liked him. Pulled off some good upsets.

[Fightnight Scores]

Cooper's power could be a factor here....

[gregregegg]

Just tuned in but missed it, But thought that was too soon for fox.... But my main take away, why the fuk is the ref judging it. It should never happen on a televised show (i know it does), But definatly not a televised 8 rounder... brittish boxing having refs judge on big cards really costs it a lot of credibility. You have the judges there, let them fuking judge.

[maverick23]

I like Noakes. I think he beats Cooper well but at least Cooper will be trying unlike the opponents in the last couple of fights.

[margaret thatcher]

in theory id agree that having seperate judges is better, but in practice they f@ck up just as much as 1 sole judge does

tbh i thought soko won clear, and it looked to me like soko and fox both knew that kammy had got it. was surprised we had dudes here suggesting fox had been unlucky

[JamesPhilips]

How long till main fight. I somehow zonned out for 3 hours and fear iv missed it.

Don’t worry you haven’t missed anything lol

[brilo33]

good 1st rd cooper moving well, noakes will have to learn to cut him off back him to ropes, 1st rd noakes

[brilo33]

rd 2 noakes cooper is akward but taking big body shots wont last 5 with then

Yea not suggesting this one was a robbery, if soko got the call he probably won the fight. But judging and reffing arnt the same job.

A judge has to remember the entire round, compare current work to work 2 mins ago, ect ect

A ref should be right in the moment focused on the present. mabey thinking of the 20 seconds befor if someone is getting battered and deciding on stopping it but mainly very present focused, no wasting energy on remembering the first 30 seconds of the round when they are exchanging in the last 30 seconds.

BEcause of this they have some shocker cards, and they can get away with them because they are doing an impossibly difficult job. judges cant get away with trash as well (although pretty well).

[brilo33]

rd3 noakes landed some good shots cooper slowing though cooper landed his best shot of the fight

[margaret thatcher]

what you say all makes perfect sense, but i just dont know that in practice there really ends up being much difference in terms of whether youre more likely to get a fair outcome with 1 judge vs 3

[Kilburn]

Noakes seems disciplined and organised when he is stalking, but a bit crude when he lets go.

Early days but I don’t think this overly intense style is going to impress as he moves up.

[Boxing Prospect]

This aint a great fight, but Noakes is starting to have some questions asked of him, going to potentially be very interesting if it goes beyond 6

[brilo33]

noaks rd 5 tucks up well cooper making it hard, think sam is boxing well

[brilo33]

This aint a great fight, but Noakes is starting to have some questions asked of him, going to potentially be very interesting if it goes beyond 6

but thats because cooper is the best oppo he has faced so i think he will go 10

[skanksta]

Noakes has looked great so far, but he doesn't like movers.
50-45

[brilo33]

think noaks rd 5 cooper coming out his shell now, i reckon he will get taged though , good for noakes go past 5 he aint tyson

[Kilburn]

Admittedly some of my lookie-likie’s are a bit of a stretch, true to form I’ve just linked up Pat Barrett with the late great Sid Haig.

[skanksta]

Has anyone given Cooper a round yet ?
It's close, but can't see how he's winning any...

[skanksta]

last few have been closER I should say.
Noakes miles ahead.

[brilo33]

rd 6 noakes he is pushing the action yea cooper has landed more that rd close

[brilo33]

Has anyone given Cooper a round yet ?

[handsofstone]

This card is poverty

[brilo33]
