Boxing: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde

[freedomgo]

Beterbiev is older anyways, so the strength and reflexes aren't the same as the previous years. 

Yarde's camp needs to work on this one. If they can find the best strategy to take this little advantage against Beterbiev, then he might have to get an opportunity to take down his opponent.

Definitely, if they can find some loophole on Beterviev then good, take that advantage, maybe the way he throw his punch or his defensive stance that they can counter and who knows, maybe he can pull an upset.

Yarde needs to be in his best form during this fight if he wants to handle Beterbiev. Yarde needs to have stamina enough to last for a 12-round fight because I believe the strategy is to move and fight smart in order to avoid getting hit by Beterbiev. Beterbiev is now a little slower with less strength so I guess Yarde will try to outbox, and throw counters, and if cornered he needs to hold and use his strength to avoid a close-quarter fight. 

I am rooting for Beterbiev to win so I hope that he still has enough to survive a possible early lead from Yarde who's also a big puncher. Yarde will probably get tired of running in the late rounds and Beterbiev will go for the KO.

Yes, he should bring his gas tank in this fight, because Beterviev is known to have not just the punching power, but also to carry the fight if it goes to distance. But if we look at Yarde's physical and body composition, he has a lot of muscle and this could affect him in the later round if he don't know how to preserve his energy. If he doesn't want to do it, then they will have to find a way for him to breath and have a deep lung. So it's either for Yarde to go for broke early because it will be very dis-advantageous for him, as the longer it gets, the more he will gets tired. So it's going to be very hard fight and what is the perfect strategy for him.

If he will be engaged to a toe-to-toe exchange of punches, then he needed to work well with his stamina. If he survives with that encounter, the next few rounds will be tough for him.

like what you mentioned, Beterviev is not just a heavy puncher but also capable to stand till the last round,
and Yarde needs to work on it to make sure that he also has that stamina to fight, else, Beterviev will take
this fight from him.

Dangerous for Yarde to stand toe to toe and exchange with Beterviev, and I don't think he will do that. Look at Butler when he face Inoue, we thought that he will go after Inoue in first couple of round but he folded.

So I think Yarde is smart to do that, he will really need to have a lot of stamina and hopefully he will not be caught with Beterviev power punches. Otherwise it will be over and this fight is not going to distance. Just probably maintain his distance and play defense throughout the fight, although this is also very hard to do as well.

Yarde probably knew that already as it's really not wise for him to stay in-front of the Russian monster who had a vicious knockout punch, but we don't know, maybe Yarde and his camp do have a concrete plan how to engage properly with Beterbiev without backing so much. As per Yarde's words, he will defeat Beterbiev, so I bet they really have some plans unlike Butler who didn't have some words prior the fight because he already knew that he's just participating to give Inoue the belt he's lacking.

So Anthony Yarde is getting pointers and advice from the legendary multiple-champion Oleksandyr Usyk. We will see if Yarde will be able to utilize it. I watched all the 3 amateur fights between Usyk and Beterbiev a long time ago where the former has a 2-1 standing. Iirc they were all close fights and Usyk was hurt several times including getting knocked down once or twice. So Usyk may not be the perfect guy to solve the Beterbiev puzzle but at least he was able to give the heavy bomber some problems with his superior movements. But can Yarde emulate the lateral movements of Usyk or is he capable of moving for a full 12-round fight? 

Yarde Says Usyk Gave Him Advice Ahead of Beterbiev Showdown

I hope that advice will help him, if I were Yarde, I would not stick completely to that advice and just have my own strategy to beat Artur Beterbiev. If Usyk is having trouble beating Artur Beterbiev, then it should not be easy for Yarde. Bettors would have a massive payout if this will turns out to be an upset win by Yarde.

I'm just saying something, if someone like Usyk gives Yarde advice, that's something very good and also privileged, as far as I'm concerned receiving advice from legends is something that is quite important, I don't know, but Beterbiev is a very good fighter. big and has a lot of technique and strategies to the maximum, that is something that can happen, according to what I have seen Beterbiev is a fighter who sometimes when he fights is seen as very violent, almost as if he lost control, so I think that for Usyk's advice can go there, of course this is something that I personally speculate about what could happen, however I know that it will give you advice much further.

Beterbiev working like a Trojan in preparation for Yarde

WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) will defend his titles against Anthony Yarde (23-2, 22 KOs) on Saturday, January 28 at Wembley’s OVO Arena. in London.

Yarde, 31, says he has grown and improved as a fighter, since he lost to Sergey Kovalev and Lyndon Arthur and sees Beterbiev, 37, as an opponent he can defeat.

Source: https://wbcboxing.com/en/beterbiev-working-like-a-trojan-in-preparation-for-yarde/

Yes, Yarde is lucky and privileged to receive tips from someone that is in the future Hall-of-Fame and someone that fought Beterbiev 3 times in the amateurs. Although there were changes already as Beterbiev improved. But somehow they didn't fight like kids since they were already in their 20s at that time. Anyways, we will soon find out since the fight is already in 3 weeks' time.

I find it weird for the article comparing Beterbiev to a Trojan. Didn't the Trojans lose to the Greeks as they were being outsmarted?

Yarde seems too prepared to face Beterbiev so I think it he will be more determined to win this fight this time. It will be a challenging fight for Beterbiev and he should also be well prepared and never underestimate his capability of Yarde.
Yarde should practice countering all the punches that Beterbiev might throw him because we all know that he has fast hands.

I don't think Yarde can counter Beterbiev's punch, it's quite similar about a fight between Canelo vs Bivol, Canelo is fast but his evading skill doesn't really work well against Bivol. Yarde should be lucky if he can still survive for complete 12 rounds lol, he ever get knocked out by Sergey Kovalev, so it mean he doesn't have a tough chin. Beterbiev is on another level than Kovalev, this should be easy for Beterbiev to win via KO.

He needs to take the risk. His trainings should be more focused on how he can tight his defense while trying to throw counters that will not allow Beterbiev to control the tempo of the fight.

If he can play like Bivol who continues to read what Alvarez will try to do and just do the counter and make sure that
he will not engage to avoid being box, knowing how Beterbiev when he will get the chance to corner his opponent
it will be tough for Yarde to avoid those solid combinations.

[Reatim]

Looking at the votes ? Artur seems to be the dominant in this fight but looking at their stats? I'm not sure there are something special when they both have that long list of winning and also via knockout .

so I assume that this would be fairly judged and I don't wanna give my votes to anyone but Draw lol. because I am not interested in betting in this match but I will watch the replay .

Definitely he will have to risk everything here, this is his chance to be a champion, but sometimes, it's better to play it smart as well by altering some of this training method and as I have said, stamina will be the key here if he will have a chance to win against a power puncher like Beterviev.

Beterviev has a lot of close fights, but his workrate is very high that his opponents gets tired and the total accumulation of punches takes a toll of them that they can't survived the full 12 rounds. If Yarde can match that, and not get tired as well if the fight goes, then maybe he can caught Beterviev and test his chin and who knows, he gets lucky with one punch.

But so far the odds are not in his way, Yarde is 6:1 underdog in this fight.

Not seems because Artur Beterbiev has always been dominant throughout his fights and based in stats, he's the one who got the prettier record as aside from being an undefeated, he also got a 100% KO rate which makes him the KO specialist among all KO specialist in the boxing industry right now. Not to underestimate Yarde because I know he's a decent boxer who got a good record too but against Beterbiev? I doubt he can make a difference. And don't worry, I'm quite positive that this fight will be fair and square.

fair point mate , But what I do believe is that as long as the fight still not happening each boxer has the chance to improve and find the weakness of opponent .
and yes have just watch Artur's fights last night and it is impressive wins so there is a  big possibilities that he will dominate this fight and put Yarde on the ground .

[btc78]

Beterbiev is a Monster in this division , though Yarde is also a good boxer but this not complement him of anything if the fight is against Artur so Maybe this is just a one good match for him at least to try His best defeating this dominant boxer , have seen this knocking  Down all his opponent for years so I think there is no best interest for Anthony to win this match.
my bet is obviously for Artur Beterbiev and good luck to those who will oppose betting to Yarde.

It's really hard to beat Beterbiev as this point, although there is a chance, Yarde will have to be perfect in this fight. He should have a good defense to stay away from the power punches, and his body should be ready to take that beating. Most of the time, the opponents of Arthur can take that. But after several rounds, their body can't take all the punishment + you become tired defending it. So maybe this is how the fight will play, Yarde, strong early, but then faded around round 5 and then getting knockout after that.

[rodskee]

95% of votes favoring Artur Beterbeiv and the only other vote is for DRAW meaning the whole community treat him as already a champ , well who can disagree as taking a look at their stats and their recent fights? we can see how Beterbeiv beating His opponent with high power of punches and perfect timing .
I am not a fan of betting in Boxing (only doing that if my countrymen is in the ring)  but for this maybe I will add some small bets assuring artur will win on this fight .

[LogitechMouse]

Just look at the record of Beterbiev. 18 wins, 18 KO's. 100% Knockout rate.
Not as many as Wilder's, but they have one similarity. Their power punches are just too strong for opponents to stay in front of them.

Nothing to say but good luck to Yarde. Had watched Beterbiev's highlights on Youtube and his power is just extraordinary. I mean he doesn't punch that many but when he punches, it's full of power. Well, many if not all of us know Beterbiev's power that's why we are choosing him to be the winner here. On the other hand, though, I will not remove the fact that we might see an upset but the chances of it to happen are very low.

Have you seen the Davis - Hector Garcia fight? Hector is doing great until caught by those vicious combinations by Gervonta, if Yarde is consistent he will have to be consistent in every second and minute of the fight because once Beterbiev's combinations get in that could be the end of the fight, big punchers can always end the fight in any seconds or minutes of the fight.
It's hard to deal with a puncher you need to be totally consistent and should have a strong chin and body to absorb those big punches.

Yup! He needs to have that consistency in order to compete with Beterbiev, though as a fighter, that's the first thing that they needed to establish each time they are preparing for their opponents.

Learning the strategy and creating counter while performing or executing your own fighting style,
Yarde needs to have that combination and the determination not to give Beterbiev a chance to
control and dominate, things that really needed while still have time to prepare for the fight.

Not a single person that has voted here share your opinion. In boxing everything can happen, specially when fighters are heavy. Just a slight touch and the winning fighter becomes loosing fighter. The fight against Kovalev is great example. But this time Yarde is an underdog. It will be hard for him to defence against heavy punches. The only hope for Yarde to win this fight is that the home arena will help him plus proper tactics, as Yarde usually spends to much stamina on early rounds and is near to death in champions rounds.

That's an insane record and there's no doubt you will never see this kind of record every day and especially since the big dude is fighting some strong boxers throughout his career. Though Yarde has some nice records in his bag, I don't think it will be enough to give Artur a problem because he is used to fighting the likes of him. Man! I just wonder how will he gonna end up because it seems like this one is another Knockout win for him. Artur Beterbiev has some powerful punches at multiple angles that's why he keeps that amazing record until now.

my bet is obviously for Artur Beterbiev and good luck to those who will oppose betting to Yarde.

Earlier all the votes were uniform since we predicted Beterbiev to win by KO/TKO and then later we have 1 vote for a draw. All I can say is Yarde has the balls to challenge the beast from the east. Beterbiev though is getting old so he is not the same beast that seemed vulnerable in the past. But what is left of Beterbiev right now is enough to demolish anyone, so we will see if Yarde can take advantage of probably a slower and less strong version of the champion. And Yarde is fighting in his backyard too so hopefully the officiating will be fair.   

95% of votes favoring Artur Beterbeiv and the only other vote is for DRAW meaning the whole community treat him as already a champ , well who can disagree as taking a look at their stats and their recent fights? we can see how Beterbeiv beating His opponent with high power of punches and perfect timing .
I am not a fan of betting in Boxing (only doing that if my countrymen is in the ring)  but for this maybe I will add some small bets assuring artur will win on this fight .

Odds are one-sided since Beterbiev remained unbeaten over the years. The champion is holding 3 belts and is only 1 fight away from becoming an undisputed champion. Here are the odds look like from BK8.



I would rather bet small on a Yarde KO/TKO and Yarde by decision since the fight is happening in England and who knows the referee might allow Yarde to hold a lot and the judges might give the close rounds to the home fighter.

[freedomgo]

Beterbiev is older anyways, so the strength and reflexes aren't the same as the previous years. 

Yarde's camp needs to work on this one. If they can find the best strategy to take this little advantage against Beterbiev, then he might have to get an opportunity to take down his opponent.

Definitely, if they can find some loophole on Beterviev then good, take that advantage, maybe the way he throw his punch or his defensive stance that they can counter and who knows, maybe he can pull an upset.

Yarde needs to be in his best form during this fight if he wants to handle Beterbiev. Yarde needs to have stamina enough to last for a 12-round fight because I believe the strategy is to move and fight smart in order to avoid getting hit by Beterbiev. Beterbiev is now a little slower with less strength so I guess Yarde will try to outbox, and throw counters, and if cornered he needs to hold and use his strength to avoid a close-quarter fight. 

I am rooting for Beterbiev to win so I hope that he still has enough to survive a possible early lead from Yarde who's also a big puncher. Yarde will probably get tired of running in the late rounds and Beterbiev will go for the KO.

Yes, he should bring his gas tank in this fight, because Beterviev is known to have not just the punching power, but also to carry the fight if it goes to distance. But if we look at Yarde's physical and body composition, he has a lot of muscle and this could affect him in the later round if he don't know how to preserve his energy. If he doesn't want to do it, then they will have to find a way for him to breath and have a deep lung. So it's either for Yarde to go for broke early because it will be very dis-advantageous for him, as the longer it gets, the more he will gets tired. So it's going to be very hard fight and what is the perfect strategy for him.

If he will be engaged to a toe-to-toe exchange of punches, then he needed to work well with his stamina. If he survives with that encounter, the next few rounds will be tough for him.

like what you mentioned, Beterviev is not just a heavy puncher but also capable to stand till the last round,
and Yarde needs to work on it to make sure that he also has that stamina to fight, else, Beterviev will take
this fight from him.

Dangerous for Yarde to stand toe to toe and exchange with Beterviev, and I don't think he will do that. Look at Butler when he face Inoue, we thought that he will go after Inoue in first couple of round but he folded.

So I think Yarde is smart to do that, he will really need to have a lot of stamina and hopefully he will not be caught with Beterviev power punches. Otherwise it will be over and this fight is not going to distance. Just probably maintain his distance and play defense throughout the fight, although this is also very hard to do as well.

Yarde probably knew that already as it's really not wise for him to stay in-front of the Russian monster who had a vicious knockout punch, but we don't know, maybe Yarde and his camp do have a concrete plan how to engage properly with Beterbiev without backing so much. As per Yarde's words, he will defeat Beterbiev, so I bet they really have some plans unlike Butler who didn't have some words prior the fight because he already knew that he's just participating to give Inoue the belt he's lacking.

Yarde seems too prepared to face Beterbiev so I think it he will be more determined to win this fight this time. It will be a challenging fight for Beterbiev and he should also be well prepared and never underestimate his capability of Yarde.
Yarde should practice countering all the punches that Beterbiev might throw him because we all know that he has fast hands. 

Truth is that 99.9% of the boxers will really come prepared in the day of their fight, but even if they are that prepared and ready, they couldn't still remove the fact that their chances are still slim. Artur Beterbiev is a champion in the light-heavyweight for a reason and held three belts for a reason, even his record are saying that he might be too much for Anthony Yarde.

[TopTort777]

I would rather bet small on a Yarde KO/TKO and Yarde by decision since the fight is happening in England and who knows the referee might allow Yarde to hold a lot and the judges might give the close rounds to the home fighter.

With Beterbiev background and record (add an amateur 295-5 record to 18-0 in pro), it is highly doubtful that this fight will end with a decision. Even if a miracle would happen and 12 rounds passes without a knockdown or knockout, Yarde, as a contender, must have jumped out of his trunks to win it by decision even in his homeland. To be able to win undefeated 3 belt holder by decision... I dont know what level of boxing you must show and how bad a champion must be. I would suggest you to save money on "Yarde by decision" and better add them to "Yarde KO/TKO" if want to place such bet.
