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

[Cyclops]

You'd think Kate Scott might have corrected her husband on the (very easy to learn) pronunciation of the name of one of the two fighters in the main event fight of a multi-million dollar show, during their fake conversation where she asked him questions that she already knew the answers to, wouldn't you?

It's like nobody really gives a sh*t.

Did he really say earlier he’d rewatched and analysed Benn eubank jr 2….15 times?

That was Scott was it? I half heard someone say something like that last night. Malik Scott has always been a brown-tongued Yes Man and con artist, but it was not out of place amongst the general seedy snake oil and re-framed narratives around Conor Benn last night.

Hearn and DAZN are so very very desperate to ram this fake-accented, bang average, cheating little cockwomble Benn down our throats, and I really can't see why. The wriggling out of a potential fight with Haney, a far superior fighter who would stand Benn on his head with ease, by Benn and Hearn together calling Haney a runner, was almost politician level spin.

At least with Fwank, the hard sell is pushing an actual legitimate fighter in Itauma. Wazza has all of the real fighters, doesn't he? Eddie makes his money from freak shows like Eubank-Benn and Joshua-Jake Paul.

Sounded signed and sealed, a done deal.

For who??

Benavidez vs Ramirez. Benevidez said it in the post-fight interview, very quietly and with little fanfare, almost so quietly not everybody seems to have picked up on it. He's fighting Zurdo Ramirez, at cruiserweight, on May 2, 2026 in Vegas.

Oh right. It's not a terrible fight but it's the wrong one for both of them...

I don't mind it either, to be honest.

I just found this out, just googled to see who the British female host on DAZN was (Kate Scott) and saw she’s married to Malik Scott, never seen her before.

Formerly known as Kate Abdo. She does DAZN US. Well know for doing CBS champions league along with Henry, Caragher and Richard too.

She got married in Summer.

She’s actually one of the good female presenters.

I think she's a company woman through and through and so not especially insightful.

She does have a tell, though. Whenever somebody was lying or spinning a load of bollocks in a particularly egregious fashion last night, she would begin rubbing the back of her neck in what body-language experts call a 'self-soothing behaviour'. So she knows what's up, but also knows what side her bread is buttered.

She seems to be really good with the footie, and she was great when she was on Sky..... but her hosting the presser for Wilder vs Fury (was it 2 or 3) was absolutely cringy. I wasn't sure if she was dating his trainer then, but it would answer alot - "I appreciate you Wilder".

I believe that might have been my introduction to her.

Multi lingual and is a very good presenter, but she had a mare in that pressure but now maybe a tad more understandable given she’s married to the head coach of wilder.

Just seen the highlights, looks like poor Yarde took a right shellacking.

[gregregegg]

So... Cruiserweight in May. Zurdo fight.

Jai won't be happy hearing that.

Fvck off. Benividez vs a Russian. Jai vs zurdo.

Anything else sucks.

Sounded signed and sealed, a done deal.

Everything wrong with boxing… it is actualy a good fight, and i give benividez a very very good chance at it (Mabey favorite)… but it’s just so wrong.

How can he skip trying to unify vs Bivol that’s a proper good fight… he won a title vs yarde… not Concore the division.

If anyone is going to move up it should be Bert…

Hope Jai just goes to heavyweight. Fvck these bitches..

[samwbr]

Benavidez sparring both Canelo and Golovkin at 15 years old. No wonder he is hard as nails.

[maverick23]

Time for Yarde to fight Arthur again. Winner to fight Bivol next.

[rd350lc]

He did in the end.
Did OK for the first few rounds, but his punches didn't carry enough pop to keep Beni honest.
Didn't realise what handspeed he had and also what a decent bloke he seems.

He should fight Buatsi.

He’s sparring Pavlik here, just 15 then too

Definitely ended up being a shellacking. Yarde had nothing to keep Benavidez off him. I felt for Yarde. Those last two rounds were brutal, he was being systematically beat up and he knew it was just a matter of time.

Tunde would have left him in there and he didn`t want to quit, so he had little choice but to hang in there and wait for the mercy of the ref, who thankfully stopped it before it got downright ugly
