BETERBIEV vs YARDE
BETERBIEV vs YARDE
All points out towards a beterbiev destruction vs the cruder Yarde.
Yarde has a good body punching game... but limited
Will Beterbiev get old? Could this be a Callum Johnson type of fight where Beterbiev gets sloppy, trades and gets caught?
This is Saturday

Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
Don’t see Beterbiev getting sloppy here…..Yarde poses more of a known Threat than Johnson…..similar to Smith, I think this ends early

The smaller Itauma bro just loss to Maderna by KO
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
Agree Beterbiev should take him more seriously and doubt he brawls with him. Beterbiev will try to land big while Yarde is aiming at his bodymarciano1952 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:26 am Don’t see Beterbiev getting sloppy here…..Yarde poses more of a known Threat than Johnson…..similar to Smith, I think this ends early

Hot prospect Karol Itauma beaten up on the undercard
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
infuriating gap between fights as usual. sitting here watching 30 mins of studio blather. this is disney owned espn, and they can't get their shit together enough to properly produce a boxing telecast. I have things to do and places to go. I'm pulling the plug on this minutes before the main event starts. I'm going out. My patience has run out.
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
Yarde game as heck, but Bert was ultimately too sharp. His corner wise to stop it because he was about to get badly hurt there.

Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
I think Beterbiev’s reaction time is beginning to show his age. Punches were wizzing right passed his chin and he wasn’t reacting. That fight might have ended differently if Yarde’s accuracy were better.

Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
How do you guys see Bivol vs Beterbiev?
At this moment I see Bivol a clear favorite…..I think he could stop Beterbiev on cuts….

Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
Bivol UD
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
I favour Bivol at this point. Beterbiev's biggest payday would be Canelo. I would like to see Beterbiev move up and fight Kovalev somewhere between 185-190.
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
Kovalev's trainer was saying he was ducking Beterbiev back when he was in his prime. If he didnt want to fight him back then, I think that boat has sailed. Bivol is looking for Canelo rematch at 168. Canelo is fighting a tune up next and may just fight Bivol. Beterbiev may miss the Bivol fight. Their style would have a very interesting clash too. Canelo is clearly not on Bivol's level, but wants to avenge that loss, and Bivol probably wants the payday over a fight with Beterbiev which is a very dangerous fight.
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
Top Rank is saying Callum Smith may be up next in Montreal late summer. To me, late summer means August-September. That would be 7 or 8 months between fights. Why so long?
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
If Beterbiev just keeps fighting mandatories over and over we'll never see him vs Bivol, Everyone knows they're the #1 and #2, the fight doesn't need every title.
Especially at his age, it seems like a bit of a waste

Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
I'm not 100% sure on this but I think that the Jean Pascal vs Michael Eifert fight that takes place in March might be an IBF eliminator with the winner becoming Beterbiev's mandatory.
The top 2 spots are vacant. Yarde was ranked 3rd and sure to drop a few spots with the loss. Pascal is 4th. Smith Jr is 5th and Eifert 6th which means winner of Pascal-Eifert becomes #1 ranked contender to Beterbiev's IBF strap. Yarde was Beterbiev's WBO mandatory.
The winner of that fight may end up being Beterbiev's opponent this summer. Beterbiev would get a good payday to beat up on an old Pascal in an all-Montreal match up. It's easy money for Beterbiev, why would he pass that up?
Carl Moretti of Top Rank said at the post-fighter presser on Saturday that a mandatory could get in the way of their desired plans for Beterbiev.
The IBF is pretty strict with their mandatories but will allow a champ to bypass it if he's got a unification fight signed which means Beterbiev would have to be facing Bivol or be forced to face his mandatory.
Not sure he could get away with a Callum Smith fight if he's got a mandatory looming.

Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
Callum's a mandatory too, with the WBC
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
A Pascal VS Beterbiev fight would be easy to male happen in mtl or qc
Build career momentum in uk with a Callum scalp
Bivol would most likely be an L

Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
I think Callum Smith is capable of pulling off an upset. He has a big punch. I'm not saying he would win, but he's a live dog. I like Smith at 175.
Re: BETERBIEV vs YARDE
Iike him too but not impressed by him in step ups
