Round-by-Round: Artur Beterbiev vs. Anthony Yarde - 28 January 2023

[dr_devious]

Looks like he’s off the park, he’s got some balls on him Yarde

Looks cool as a cucumber

[margaret thatcher]

looks cool, but i hope he fights a bit more fired up, he was too relaxed for too long vs kov and didnt work nearly enough

Especially considering if he does lose, it’s unlikely to be anything other than conclusive.

Yeh he puts it all on the line, really thinks he can win, hope he’s right

[skanksta]

Maybe home advantage will nick it for Yarde....

[skanksta]

Seems wrong for Yarde to be The Beast from the East when Bert is in town !

[Kilburn]

Not exactly an intimidating atmosphere for Beterbiev. Not that it would matter I suspect.

[samwbr]

Yarde at 4s now

[Kilburn]

As Apollo said famously, he’s just a man.

Come on Yarde!

[gregregegg]

yarde is bigger, faster and fresher... so bert by KO

Will be interesting to see how yardes chin holds up. it was acumulation and conditioning that knocked him out vs Kov, and kov can whack. But bert just seems to find clean shots that realllly hurt people.

[keithmoonhangover]

Yarde looks nervous.

[keithmoonhangover]

Yarde momentarily stunned and his mouth stayed open. 1-0 Bert.

[Fray Bentos]

Watching it here in Peru on Argentine ESPN

Yarde has set off fast and won that round, can he keep it up?

[Kilburn]

Not too bad from Yarde in the first. Although very tense. A few check-hook corner escapes deployed affectively.

Beterbiev an ominous presence coming forward.

[gregregegg]

decent from yard, landed a bit of his own. but this looks draining already and i cant see yard lasting past 5 or 6 unless he hurts bert fairly soon.

bert round though.

[dookus]

Yarde obviously prepared to use the check left hook as a way of keeping him off. Good first round for him. Let's see how Bert adapts.

[gilgamesh]

Yarde looks nervous.

Nervous and Cool as a Cucumber does not compute. It can only be one or the other.

[Delta Jay]

Not too bad from Yarde in the first. Although very tense. A few check-hook corner escapes deployed affectively.

Beterbiev an ominous presence coming forward.

My thoughts exactly

[Ruthless-RKO]

A lot of ppl have Yarde 1-0

[Fray Bentos]

Bert landed some good shots there, as did Yarde who was busier

Yarde is up on my card 20-18

[blanca]

Makes a change to see 2 fkcing quality fighters in a british ring.

[Nightmare Roy]

Tall sport saying it's all Yarde however I question their credentials

[MightyWarrior]

Tightrope walking, stay off the fookin ropes!!!

[Kilburn]

Beterbiev looks like he can do this for 12, Yarde for about 6

Yarde absolutely has to sting him with something.

[gregregegg]

decent from yard, landed a bit of his own. but this looks draining already and i cant see yard lasting past 5 or 6 unless he hurts bert fairly soon.

bert round though.

Ill just repeat this for round 2....

[samwbr]

2 up but it won't go 12.
