Boxing: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde

[Shamm]

We all know that the favorite he is artur beterbiev because as we all know how he fight inside the ring he has a record of 18- 0 while Anthony yarde has a 22 - 2 record but one thing is for sure this fight will be a good fight for both fighter their experience of fighting. Will lead them to be more tough in defense and a good open punch. So for this fight ill go for Artur Beterbiev and for sure until the end of the last round they will give us a good fight.

[Baofeng]

Here's what Yarde has to say about the fight, he wanted to go for a knock out:

"Fact. That is what I'm trying to say. I don't think it is to do with anyone but myself. I had a mindset when I started boxing and, the second I tried to change it or listen to people asking if I could go 12 rounds, I went away from what I knew.

"I know why the Kovalev fight didn't go my way, I know why the fight didn't go my way in the amateurs, I know why they gave the decision to Lyndon Arthur in the first fight.

"When all these things happened, it was when I went against my natural instinct and what I said I was going to do from the beginning.

https://www.boxingscene.com/yarde-looking-points-beterbiev-fight-he-wants-ko--171850

So meaning he want's to go 100% and look for a knockout in this fight. He doesn't want to go full 12 rounds because he knows he might get the short end of the deal again just like in his amateur fights and some on the professional ranks.

Let's see if he has want it takes to knockout the Russian here, no one has done it before though, just saying. So it will be very different for Yarde to do that unless he hurt Beterbiev very hard and then he goes for that knockout.

Well, he said it himself and provide facts indeed. The Kovalev fight didn't go his way and his amateur fights didn't go his way as well, so, the big question here is, what makes him think that defying a Russian-Canadian monster will go into his way? And why this time when he faced a much weaker opponent but still fate didn't go his way? Things are getting funnier while the fight date is getting nearer and nearer.

Probably just his self-confidence though, I mean every boxer has this idea that they can defeat anyone in the ring, even if it has a 0 lost and has been knocking down his opponents.

And it could he could larger and boost his psychology that he can defeat him because the fight is going to be in his country, so he has what we call homecourt advantage but not sure if this is true in boxing. So yeah, we will see if he has what it takes, I mean accepting it shows that he has big balls already, but facing him in the ring could be different for Yarde when he taste the first punch of Beterbiev.

Probably there's a little percentage of advantage when you're fighting at your own soil because you know that people are there to cheer for you and backing you for your win, but the visiting boxer is not that new in this kind of setting as well especially to veteran boxers as at this point, they are already accustomed to the situation already. But the thing is, Yarde may have the homecourt advantage, but the pressure is also quite big because you're representing your country at your own soil and people are expecting some positive results for it.

Homecourt advantage, so is the home crowd, might really be an advantage but that was all useless if a boxer is really up against a tough opponent.

Artur Beterbiev is not new to pressure and seems won't really be affected much fighting against a crowd.

Yarde on the other hand should take advantage of any advantages in this fight. A boost of morale because of the crowd is a big help but that is nothing if he can't perform well in the actual fight.

A fist to fist confrontations can't be boosted by anything if you are not prepared with your opponent's attack. Maybe the cheers will add something to your morale, but facing a tough opponent needs more good preparations.

Like what you said, Beterbiev is not new to this and he can dominate if Yarde will give him a chance,
it's better for Yarde to read well with how Beterbiev will do his combinations and avoid being box
it will be safer for him to make some distance while trying to read Beterbiev's strategy to avoid being
caught unguarded.

[goinmerry]

it will be safer for him to make some distance while trying to read Beterbiev's strategy to avoid being
caught unguarded.

But knowing Beterbiev, he's not the type of boxer that will look for an opening that's why even Yarde will try to avoid being caught unguarded, that's not the case there. If Yarde will always remain in his defensive phase just to not allow for an opening, Beterbiev will surely try to crash that defense by giving several strong punches until Yarde feels he can't keep his guard now, and eventually his defense will be weakened.

Although I know that Yarde's camp already has some plans on how to take down Beterbiev, good luck with executing it in the actual fight. Yarde's camp considers this fight against Beterbiev as the key to a much big break in Yarde's career that's why they will surely do everything to win.

Beterbiev on the other hand should not feel comfortable as even though this fight is not yet happening, he always keeps saying that he wants to face Dmitry Bivol even. Better finish this job first then call on Bivol after winning.

[inthelongrun]

We all know that the favorite he is artur beterbiev because as we all know how he fight inside the ring he has a record of 18- 0 while Anthony yarde has a 22 - 2 record but one thing is for sure this fight will be a good fight for both fighter their experience of fighting. Will lead them to be more tough in defense and a good open punch. So for this fight ill go for Artur Beterbiev and for sure until the end of the last round they will give us a good fight.

Most likely this is a good fight since both fighters are explosive and capable of knocking out each other. Unless both of them will try to fight safely knowing a single mistake can put them to sleep. Everyone is expecting Beterbiev to have an easy fight here but we will see. I am also expecting Beterbiev to have an easy destruction on Yarde. Unless Beterbiev's age stops him from doing what his mind wanted to do. Let's not forget Beterbiev's age is past the prime for a normal fighter. And if not Yarde, Beterbiev will lose sooner or later if he won't retire.

Another factor for Yarde to take advantage of is the fight happening in his own backyard. Lucky for him that a 3-belt champion is the one traveling on his home turf. The last time Beterbiev fought in the UK was when he lost to the current unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in London Olympics. I am just hoping that the officiating will be done fairly.

Yes mate you are right these two fighters are very good in offense and it will make them very comfortable enough to throw thier punches and I think both of them has a good capabilities to knocking down thier opponent so this fight maybe. Call a defense fight as if they do a right defense with a good timing then this fight will end up to the last round but if someone will got a mistake and hit by a solid punch for sure a big chance of loss are weaving.

[goinmerry]

That's right but again, a boost from a crowd is an advantage that can only be considered as "passive" where there is no direct effect on the physical strength of the boxer. The support from the crowd and playing in its own backyard just added some will to win but in boxing, will alone is not enough as it should be also accompanied by real physical strength.

With this fight as Yarde's biggest break of his career, I believed he won't allow this opportunity to slip away and will do everything, as it should be, to win and upset the heavy favorite Artur Beterbiev.

[chaser15]

Roughly 1 week before the fight, the current Moneyline odds for both boxers don't change a bit.

We can clearly conclude that bookies consider this match, not to expect a close fight or a competitive fight. Either way, I like to see if Anthony Yarde will be able to change that speculation and upset the champion, or Beterbiev on the other hand will just have a smooth win.

Artur Beterbiev @ 1.11
Anthony Yarde @ 6.00

No other betting options are available but as usual, we can maybe expect more of it once the date of the fight is approaching.

[Botnake]

And it could he could larger and boost his psychology that he can defeat him because the fight is going to be in his country, so he has what we call homecourt advantage but not sure if this is true in boxing.

It will be a struggle for Yarde finding that advantage because I'm sure that the 3-belt champion, Beterbiev, won't show any weakness in this fight that will make Yarde's journey much easier. I know that Beterbiev's not that perfect despite of his perfect record but somehow it's hard to believe that Yarde can truly make a difference.

I'm just under the impression that Yarde is saying this stuff and that because he wanted to market the fight and he wanted to show in front of his people that he is not afraid facing a boxer that is touted like a monster but I really doubt that he can stand his ground.

[Japinat]

Surely, it will be an honor for Beterbiev to make Yarde shut up and eat his own words after saying that he's the one who will give the champion his first loss because he's much faster while the champion is much slower. That line really gives me some chills because I bet Beterbiev is really challenge after knowing the latter's wise words towards him.
Anyway, we will see it soon if Yarde can truly stand his ground and surprise the world of boxing because he managed to upset the Russian monster who had an undefeated record.

Yarde is too ambitious to defeat his opponent after winning 3 consecutive wins in his last fight, I support his ambition because he has to train hard to prove his words which have been covered in various sports media, he will try hard to get victory in that fight. But Beterbiev will not give anyone a chance to win because he has to defend his belt and will not mess up his undefeated fight record.

I can't argue you with that as I'm also seeing that Yarde has become almost overconfident just because he got 3 good streaks in his recent fight, well, he should know that what's he up to now is a much different than what he did face in his previous battles because Beterbiev is on a different league, even stronger than Kovalev which gave Yarde his first loss in his professional career. Apart from that, he should be concern as well why Beterbiev is silent all this time despite all the words he said.

[Baofeng]

And it could he could larger and boost his psychology that he can defeat him because the fight is going to be in his country, so he has what we call homecourt advantage but not sure if this is true in boxing.

True, that's all he can do right now, since the fight is his backyard, he needs his fans to attend and watch the fight. So he is hyping and trying to sell it to them obviously so that they will get a lot of money thru live gate splits and PPV numbers.

But in any case, Beterbiev is too good for Yarde in my opinion. There is a disparity as far as power goes, and so we all know that he will be in a very tough situation in front of his crowd and then losing via knockout, hehehe.

Well, we cannot really blame the man if he is speaking big words as if he can really do it and prove that he's not all words. At least he will garner a big amount of money after the fight even if he's going to lose at the end of the day, I'm sure that deep inside he knew that his chances aren't that good. Anyway, fight schedule is already approaching and I'm still waiting for other betting options to open as the current odds aren't that great for us regular bettors.

[Viscore]

Here's what Yarde has to say about the fight, he wanted to go for a knock out:

"Fact. That is what I'm trying to say. I don't think it is to do with anyone but myself. I had a mindset when I started boxing and, the second I tried to change it or listen to people asking if I could go 12 rounds, I went away from what I knew.

"I know why the Kovalev fight didn't go my way, I know why the fight didn't go my way in the amateurs, I know why they gave the decision to Lyndon Arthur in the first fight.

"When all these things happened, it was when I went against my natural instinct and what I said I was going to do from the beginning.

I think that’s one way of showing the public that he’s also capable to beat Beterbiev, although his own words are quite exaggerating when it comes to the public’s opinion. But let’s see if he can really prove his words, Beterbiev is a dangerous boxer, so he should outperform him so he can make an edge in the ring.

I think that Yarde is going to win the most here, not only because of the money he will receive and he will be able to say many things, perhaps he says them to gain more fame and attention, but I honestly believe that things can be done in a more appropriate way for Both, if Yarde plans to do other things after this fight, I'm sure they will be given to him without much effort, I think it can be that way, however I know that Beterbiev is a boxer with a lot of experience who will not give up, much less give him away the fight is something that can be very scary for him, plus the majority of the world is biased that he will win.

Tommy Fletcher aims to extend KO C.V. on Beterbiev vs Yarde

“Mark has said before many times that I have got proper punch power,” reflected the 3-0 Fletcher, who next features on the undercard of the blockbuster Artur Beterbiev-Anthony Yarde unified world light heavyweight title card at the OVO Arena, Wembley on January 28, live on BT Sport.

“It is not hype, it is real and when people see statements like that they want to see proof of it. They won’t take anyone’s word for anything and I think I really showcased what I am about in that fight.

Beterbiev is also my favorite in this , I'm not sure that there are chance or bigger chances for Yarde to beat this monster but of course in boxing? there are no assurance unless the fight is over.
will be looking for the Odd to take before the fight .

Well there are boxers we better keep quiet and then let their fist do the talking, regardless if the fight is going to happen in their homesoil or not. And for me that is the sign of a great boxer, not to fall for this kind of mental battle. Or at least have the edge because they are not going to talk in public and yet in private they will train very hard.

And so if Yarde lost this one in his home soil and with that all trash talk or self motivation, he might look very hard. It's one thing to trash talk, but to fight and back up your words is very different. On the other hand, Beterbiev just the regular boxer and don't want to engage in this kind of public spat.

He can speak for himself and provide opinions, then add more stuff from his words, but accompany on that words are the capabilities of doing it and proving that you are not just throwing words but you can do it.

It's really tough beating a champ, but if those words will push you to be inspired and do your best,
to show to everyone that you meant what you said, then it will be better for both fans and those
who criticizing you.

[inthelongrun]

Few more days to go and we will finally see this explosive fight. By the way, Artur Beterbiev just turned 38 years old a few days ago. He is damn old. The power though won't age, it's a gift but it remains to be seen if Beterbiev still has enough strength, stamina, and speed in order to land his bombs on Yarde. Yarde on the other hand is not known for his quickness either and was already stopped before by a past-prime Kovalev which makes most people believe that Beterbiev can also handle him.

Meanwhile, it seems like we are not seeing Beterbiev-Bivol next for the undisputed title. Bivol might temporarily go down in weight for Canelo's 168 undisputed belts. Yarde though mentioned his willingness to face Bivol if he wins this one. But the WBC earlier also stated that a mandatory is next and it will be another British in Callum Smith. Callum just last weekend believes that Beterbiev will win over Yarde and he likes to fight him in a huge football stadium in the UK.
