  • I did not see that coming. Full credit to Yarde, I thought he’d lose this one. Buatsi next??

    • From the buildup, I thought Yarde was up for this one, while Arthur was a bit too subdued for my liking.

  • The officiating in England is just awful. The ref started the count before Yarde was in a neutral corner, speed up as the count went on and waved it off even though Arthur was clearly up at 9.

  • Arhur was very awkward using his body mechanics in the fight and was rath, stiff, and using arm punches more than committing with his body. As a result, limited power was in his arsenal. Yarde basically went for broke once he realized Arthur could not really do much more other than hold him on the inside.

  • Yarde should rematch with Kovalev in the UK it will be huge and a chance to redeem himself

    • May not be worth it to him now. Kovalev’s going on 40 and hasn’t had a fight in 2 years.

  • Hasn’t really beaten a legitimate durable top fighter yet, despite Arthur’s high rating, until then ok!!
