Round-by-Round: David Benavidez vs. Anthony Yarde - 22 November 2025

[Kilburn]

Not a bad 4th from Noakes. He’s still well in this.

Mason may well win but you can’t say tactically he’s boxing smart here.

[MightyWarrior]

How did that kiss arse Coppenger give Mason the fourth round

[gregregegg]

This is an absolute belter.

[MightyWarrior]

Mason marking up too

I think Sam is the only fighter I would want to see win against Mason, who I really like

[Kilburn]

Noakes is a tough little sod isn’t he.

I swear to god if Mason gets fully wobbled here, he’s in trouble.

[gilgamesh]

4 round to 1 for Mason so far, but Noakes is still showing a hell of a lot of grit, and battling his heart out in there. Noakes had a great showing in the 5th, and I gave him that one.

4-1 Mason. Could be 3-2.

Good scrap so far.

[gregregegg]

mason looks incredable when he just pops from the outside. hopfuly he loses his disaplin so it can go back to a back and fowards battle.

[Cyclops]

I think Noakes is gonna get stopped.

[gilgamesh]

I'd give the 6th to Mason, but it was close. He controls it when he uses his legs, and gets out whenever he gets a few shots in, but he stays inside he winds up taking quite a few shots back.

The more he fatigues, the more Noakes can get into this. If Noakes can hold up that is.

5-1 Mason

[MightyWarrior]

Two world champions in the making here

[gregregegg]

what a round.

[Kilburn]

Noakes is right in this still. What a little battler.

[gilgamesh]

Great round for Noakes in the 7th. Hurting Mason to the body, and forcing him to stand and trade more.

5-2 Mason

1st fight of the Big 4 on this card, and it's a barnburner! Gonna hard for the others to follow this one, but this one is a treat for sure.

[MightyWarrior]

He’s chasin’ Mason

[Ruthless-RKO]

Excellent round

[Ruthless-RKO]

Noakes has slowed

[Kilburn]

Yeah Noakes may finally be dropping off here.

This is the moment. Needs a really good round now.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Sickening body shots

[Kilburn]

Got to give Noakes tons of credit here, he has drawn all of the fight out of Mason here and coped with it.

[gregregegg]

9th and 10th are often flat. tired but a long way to go. once its 11th and 12th dont gotta save energy for anything, hope noaks can start pushing hard again.

[gilgamesh]

Looks like Noakes is just about spent in there. He's still giving what he can, but Mason has taken back control of the bout, and Noakes is gonna need something big to pull this out.

7-2 Mason

[NazNaci1]

Sam is hanging tough.

Behind, but not by much.

[gilgamesh]

Got to give Noakes tons of credit here, he has drawn all of the fight out of Mason here and coped with it.

Win or Lose. He's shown a ton of heart, and has earned a lot of respect tonight. I don't think anybody who's watching this would say they wouldn't want to see him fight again. What a little warrior.

[gilgamesh]

If the next round is like that one, Noakes' corner might oughta throw the towel in somewhere in there. He's a brave young kid, and can come again. Damage like that won't do him no good.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Damn!

How he stayed on his feet.

Will his corner stop it?

Maybe if he doesn’t take too much punishment.

He can take it to a decision
