The knockout was the second best part of the broadcast. Top honors go to Tim Bradley for his on-air anecdote about the pressure associated with holding in a fart.
What a great fight, it was one of those bouts that afterwards you felt privileged to be ringside. It was a real see saw of a fight with Beterbiev's better experience showing at the end. It makes you wonder what Yarde could have been as a boxer if he hadn't been such a late starter but he could leave that ring knowing he gave the Chechen fighter all he could handle. Lets hope we get many more match ups like these and Bivol will finally face Beterbiev, we know the latter wants the fight.
I find it curious that whilst fighters are aware that the sands in their hourglasses dripping away inexorably , yet they fight so infrequently! Of course, if they are financially established for life, there is no need to fight too often.

good scrap!!
No way Yarde was winning that fight. At least Robin had it right. The other 2 SMH and glad judges were not relevant.

Unfortunately Bivol vs Beterbiev seems unlikely this year as apparently Bivol has agreed to fight Canelo at 168lbs in September.
I couldn’t care less about Canelo vs Bivol. The Bivol vs Beterbiev fight is clearly a much better one - it’s one of the few fights I’d pay to watch.
Beterbiev broke Yarde down, mentally and physically, until Anthony was done but it was a very good effort from Yarde.
However I question the logic of Yarde fighting domestic and relatively low-level opposition and then suddenly fighting the world champion.
This has happened to Yarde twice now - such a plan was always unlikely to be successful and wasn’t really fair to Anthony.
IMO Anthony should fight several world top ten opponents, and do very well against them, before he gets another world title shot.

No wonder Canelo was not game to have a go against Batterbiev.
Batterbiev vs Bivol should be a classic match,
Artur Batterbiev.
Dan any travieso arce cards??
Yarde surprised giving Beterbiev a good fight.
