Artur Beterbiev.v Anthony Yarde

[Master]

Btw. Judges had Yarde up a round at the finish. Not for me.
I don’t mean any disrespect to Yarde, because I thought he was brilliant, but I had it 5-2 Beterbiev.

I had it 5-2 as well but I could see 4-3. I gave one round to Beterbiev where it looked like Yarde did more. I just felt the damage was more lasting from Beterbiev.

Partially I started to think higher of Yarde’s will, then he just allowed that damage at the end of the 7th which was completely unnecessary and I think if he had as much will he wouldn’t have allowed that. Felt like accepting defeat in a way.

Two of the official judges had it 4-3 to Yarde and the other to Beterbiev. The other judge who had it 5-2 to Yarde was not that far out as it appears.

I had it 4-3 to Yarde as did Tic.

Spicoli had it 4-3 to Beterbiev and Primo and you had it 5-2 to Artur.

The only rounds we all agreed on were 4th which was Beterbviev but the 6th was scored to Yarde by the official judges Tic, Spicoli and myself. Only Primo and you gave it to Beterbiev. I think you need to explain yourselves.

I can explain myself easily. I don’t get carried away and I’m not biased!
What you have to understand, and I can’t talk about the rest of the guys is that rose tinted spectacles don’t work.
Anthony Yarde fought excellently, but just because he is fighting better than expected, doesn’t mean he wins the round.
Beterbiev was still controlling the fight, when Yarde tagged him , he came back with more.
When Beterbiev connected, he followed it up with combinations that had Yarde in trouble.
Yarde was brave , but you don’t win rounds just for being brave.

I have re-watched the contest and it really is an excellent fight.

Yarde tried to raise the pace and used his speed to win the rounds. Beterbiev adjusted his aggression and timed his attacks mainly near the end of the rounds to win them. It seemed Yarde was ahead but Artur was in control and was going to take over the bout which he did with dramatic affect.
