I am a big fan of Yarde, he is exciting to watch and explosive. The closest to a British Roy Jones with natural skills, speed, confidence and power.

Yarde had the courage to go and face Kovolev in Russia but could not get past that jab. He lost due to inexperience and maybe poor stamina.

Taking on Beterbiev is a huge risk and at least it is in England this time. The reward will be huge if Yarde wins.

One thing is guaranteed, it will be a blow out one way or another.

Hope Yarde can pull it off but it is likely he will be knocked out.

Exactly that.

At least it is not PPV by BT sports which is positive.

Easy to forget Beterbiev will turn 38 one week before this kicks off. Not out of the realm of possibility that Yarde strikes it rich with fast-power out of the gate but can see Beterbiev just too crafty and consistent shortly after. Think a scrapy Yarde will unravel gradually and the water gets too deep.

I don't know Yarde was outlasted by an ally old Kovalev, I think beterbiev will be fine here. He's always good to take a whack when he's on the attack though..but I think easy beterbiev win.

I was thinking exactly the same about Beterbiev and his age. Looks like “Lions in the camp” just waits for his prey to get old before he pounces. It could happen, but IMO he would have to wait a lot fucking longer. I don’t even know why he deserves the shot.
Sadly as each day goes by , it put more question marks on a Bivol/Beterbiev fight. Even if it happens, you’ve got the “grow old in the ring” schtick.

The Lion mantra has changed to Beast from the East from Yarde.

It would make sense for Yarde to step aside and allow the unification and pick up one of the belts afterwards but credit to him for taking the shot. Eddie's fighters are standing back and taking the safer route.
