They did everything to get a Yarde win, but Artur punched it to ruins.
No normal man can stand more than 10 s in front of beterbiev
Whenever yarde gained confidence and tried to up his offence, that's when Beterbiev starts landing big shots.
but that’s when he was landing too. he probably didn’t know any better way to attack
Beterbiev has that old school warrior mentality, he won’t let anyone out man him
@@sakib20 i would say yarde most definitely has that same mentality. his body just didn’t hold up this time unfortunately
@@ian1697Beterbeiv was the more superior fighter
@@ian1697"his body just didn't hold up".. Even with Yarde's "Body Armour" around his short ribs his body just didn't hold up? It was a couple of head shots (both rights) that finished the fight though.
Anyone else notice how high Yarde had his guard up on his waist to stop those body shots 👀
Yess 💯 disgusting cheating. Hiking up his shorts to his nips. You could see his all of his thighs and none of his stomach
Я тоже смотрел на это и думал почему так высоко поднял 🤔
Made no difference 😂😂😂
Of course they noticed and were surprised. Personally, I've never seen this kind of defense from other boxers. And why did they allow it?
What was more concerning is the refree was pulling it up for him if it goes down + he was deliberately spitting out his mouthpiece to get some time and the refree was deliberately exaggerating it like a knockdown instead of telling him to pickup his mouthpiece
Yarde was wearing huge body protectors and was pulling them up all the way to his chest😂😂😂
Lmao yarde literally wearing a bodyguard and thought nobody would notice 😂
The ref pulled his shorts up at around 27:02 so no one notices it
This was like, Cheating in tests and still failing 🤣
@@vishnu2407the refree was helping him all night, 1. He was adjusting his huge body guard for him😂. 2. He was letting him deliberately throw his mouthpiece and was not telling him to stop spitting it out.
Yarde: 1. Hikes his shorts and guard to his nipples 2. headbutts Beterbiev 3. spits his mouth piece to get more breaks 4. Losing rounds but judges scoring him higher What more of an advantage can a person dream of?
Being a fighter or boxers from USA and brits ?
Typical Western hometown advantage
Pure FACTS, i was telling ppl since that night, English ppl are dirty, he came to their backyard giving their fighter a chance but they were trying every trick to rob him. I add 2 more things i noticed 1. Refree was even helping him by pulling his guard up for him when it goes down.😂 2. Refree was deliberately exaggerating the mouthpiece throw like it was a knock down to give him more time. 3. Yarde was covering up his head all night knowing that they gave him Olympic size body guard for the body😂😂😂 He still got knocked the fuck out tho😂😂😂
Beterbiev landing back of the head shots to knock down Yard, Laughable really. Cheat as usual
British crowd
Yarde was trying to hide himself in body protector😂
They should let him wear bullet proof vest😁
Yardu was wearing his extra thick boxing black belt during the match.
Beterbiev, not just power, very skillful and intelligent as well. Andre Ward has become my favourite commentator, just understands what is happening in the fights so well.
Exactly
Nah. He just beats cans. English men are known for being B fighters.
Ward is a gift to fans. He simply knows the sport.
@@tlemgr Beterbiev’s high ranking opponents record 230-11 Dropped and stopped every opponent
@@Randomhandlename Yeah so?
I was there in person, Beterbiev never looked in trouble. He allows you to punch him to gauge your power & downloads data. Once data is complete, termination begins 🤖
He’s fighting young guys at 37
👍
Haha I love this 🤖👊
@@AK-dj5su 39
👍
Yarde trying to wear his body protector as a head guard is honestly embarrassing.
he should have worn a motorcycle helmet
Crazy to me that the ref didn’t force Yarde to lower his waist guard. It was all the way up there, so high Beterbiev couldn’t land a body shot at all without connecting with the protector. The ref adjusted it once, but it was way too high from the 3rd round on.
lewis did it to holyfield in the rematch, too. rules are NEVER enforced in boxing. especially when they're hoping the guy being cheated loses.
Exactly. It was too thick and too high.
Why wasn't he fined for wearing a diaper?
Anybody realizing that Arthur beterbiev is 38 years old but hit like a 25 years old fighter🔥🔥🔥now that is impressive 🙌🏾
Peds thats why
Stamina the catchword,with peak fitness,strategy to allow a body builder to get tired out after he has given all the lovetap jabs!
power is the last thing to go with age..
Why is Yarde allowed to wear a protective belt?
because hes facing chechen brada xaxaxa
people saying Bivol will take the win over Beterbiev have obviously never seen this man fight. SO much power.
watching this fight alone makes it look that much easier for bivol. beterbeive was in trouble this fight he was not winning at all and yarde isnt better at moving defense like bivol is bivol hits harder and unlike yarde and beterbeive bivol can punch mid movement in combinations
@@sabinascott4297ehh idk abt that. He KO’d him on the 8 round. Doesn’t look like much trouble for Beterbiev
@@dcrcort It was trouble for Beterbiev. His own corner was telling him they had Yarde up and told him he probably needed a KO to win. I get it, Beterbiev's cool, but he's the furthest thing from invincible and if Yarde pushed him this much, Bivol has more than a good chance
People who say that obviously never seen Bivol fight.
@@tlemgr well said
Look at the Yard's belt
Those short shots from Bertebiev are so destructive. He turns his shots over so well.
Wtf is that body protector Yarde was wearing. KO wouldve been much quicker without it.
The commentators are completely in Yarde's corner. They need to shut up and call the fight.
It's a black thing
Beterbiev el hombre más peligroso del mundo no me canso de ver la pelea 🔥🥊🦍🤴🏻 ni seme olvida cuando poncho a usyk en los olimpicos😮👌🏼
He didn’t beat him ge got a knockdown
Yes it is true but he preferred to go up a category than face him again while Usyk never knockdown Beterbiev 😉🥊🥋@@mohamedmosadik9219
Yes it is true but he prefers to go up the category than face him again while Usyk never knocked out Beterbiev😉🥊🥋
@@PrimeBoxMexicanStyle he lost to Usyk twice.
@@LobotomyMeat robbery
Two modern day gladiators. I don't know what Callum Smith's strategy is but if you come to slug with Beterbiev you better prepare yourself for the consequences 💪🏿🔥🥊
Callum will cash in and go back home nice and relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Callum will end up crippled during the match he's going to quit during the beat down.
Can Smith get one in early might make things to get interesting , Or Beterbiev is going to change his life for ever
😂😂😂😂😂smith never had a chance lil bro
Smith was an easier work for Artur
All that mouth guard spitting didn't help YARD one bit.😂
Why tf is the ref allowing yards lower cushion guard around his stomach like that. That’s dirty all that extra cushion protecting his liver
С этит поясом можно было и мото каску надеть в комплекте Ярду!
)))))))
🤣😂
yardes belt was above the bottom of his ribcage lol
Yarde is wearing a lot of punch absobers on his stomach
Judges gave Yarde more praise than he deserved if you ask me.
Man this Fight was Incredible! Yarde just didn’t have the Firepower to keep Artur off of him but man these guys was landing some bombs on each other. Artur is a Terminator and Yarde was Game until the end what a Fight!
i would say it was more of a skill issue cause he hurt artur multiple times this fight
@@ian1697 Yarde’s skills were good it’s just if he had more Power I think he could have kept Artur off of him might have even put him down a couple of times.
@dil8784 It's hard to maintain both power and stamina.... I think he was plenty strong enough, but he wasted a lot of energy the first couple of rounds and was fighting tight, especially with his jab, and you have to feel just right and fight smart inorder to beat someone as experienced as Beterbeiv. He would have stood more of a chance had he trained more for stamina and speed vs power since Beterbeiv is Older.
@@Livetofightanotherday777 I just think Artur forces you to make uncomfortable decision by making you Panic just by him being up in your grill non stop punishing you once he’s got you trapped. It’s like you are forced to plant your feet and throw power shots just to get him off you which again takes away from whatever Gameplan you have and just going to war with him which he eventually wins in the long run. So he forces you to make a choice backup and get battered for longer rounds or slug and you get knocked out quicker. Thats the decision he gave smith in the first round when he pushed him on to the ropes and banged him up. It’s pure intimidation.
@@ian1697no he didn’t. He buzzed him once and other than that Beterbiev reset his feet using the L step like he does every time he gets hit clean.
This was a good fight and started a great year of boxing hopefully Beterbiev Smith can do the same thing for 2024
Bivol Vs Beterbiev Is A Hard Pick… Bivol A Master Class Boxer With Speed, But Beterbiev Can Also Box Too And Got The Great Equalizer ‼️🥴
Beterbiev boxing is underrated, he has a very good amateur resume.
Yarde would eat bivol alive lol
Beterbiev knocks out bivol
Bivol can hit without getting hit. But there is always a big punch to equalize a match. I think Bivol can avoid the shots and win rounds with accurate punches.
If Bivol can use his jab, he can win by UD against Beterbiev. However, if Bivol takes a few clean hits from Beterbiev, it will be hard for Bivol to apply his plan.
This commentator must be Yard's boyfriend . . . LMAO 🤣
It's a black thing
Shout out to Yarde for having heart throughout the entire fight. Both great talents. Artur really is that guy. Look forward to the unification with Bivol
2023 Fight of the year 🔥
So clear the ref was biased.adjusting yarde's shorts to give few seconds of breather.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
only in boxing can a man wear body armor up to his chest and call it a cup. just a broken sport and nothing ever changes.
Beterbiev reminds me of Foreman. They both dont have that much torque in their punches but absolutely blast through people.
Послушай спаринг партнёра Бетербиева и узнаеш силу его удара!
and a master boxer Ali beat Forman
@@LennyAllen-zw6wg irrelevant to what is being said but I'll humor you Yes of course styles make fights and CORRECT adjustments made against styles help while incorrect adjustments get punished. Beterbiev's style is Eastern European version of a boxer puncher. Strong balance. Always positioned to punch. Able to fight forward and backward. A style that gives a boxer puncher a hard time is an outboxer. (Ali vs Foreman, sugar ray Vs hands of stone). This is why Bivol Vs Beterbiev is long overdue and heavily anticipated
Beterbiev can always break down the defenses of all his opponents, round after round he always improves, he is really skilled, strong, has good stamina. I'm sure he'll destroy Bivol too. I can't wait to watch it.
Yes he can break down but bivol very good same level beterbiev my opinion 50/50 fight
Их специально хотят свести. Двое россиян слишком много..
More one sided than the commentary would have you believe
Unless it's ridiculously one sided like Spence vs Crawford they typically at least try balancing the commentary to retain viewership. Not saying it's right, but it's how it goes.
@smb_plush much better than the awful British commentary tbf
@@maherzain434 You're 100% not wrong.
Брат хорошо что выиграл этот бой, я болел за тебя, и всегда болел, дай Аллах тебе здоровья удачи тебе братан. 👍✊🖐️☝️
Spitting his mouthpiece twice in two rounds told you where that fight was headed..
Artur *'You Better Believe'* Beterbiev
Good on Yardes corner for that stoppage
Yarde's liver is secure against Beterbiev, that's the first time I've seen that happen
i know we all laughing at yarde but it was a tough fight, props to him for even being in there for that long with beterbiev cos that man is a monster
Yarde had his moments. Boxing fans are so reactionary and ridiculous, especially in the KZhead comments. They act like yarde not only had 0 moments, but he's also a bad person for even challenging beterbiev
@@RossKempOnYourMum01literally bro ❗️🤦♂️
Завтра с Смитом будет такое же как с Ярдом . Не зря Бивол бегает от него до старости ,подписавший контракт 😂
Четко сказал
Бой покажет кто сильнее!
У Бивола бой краше
Who else is here scouting lol cus I feel personally beterbiev gonna stop callum this Saturday
Great fight, Artur is a legend 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🙏
Прекрасный бой, лучшие бойцы Артурчик, родной, береги голову, пожалуйста. Молимся за Вас!
Beterbiev, power, pressure ring IQ, terrifying fighter 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊. Impeccable foot work .👌👍🙏.
after the first knockdown yarde told his corner to stop it
Whats with the belt guard?
ARTUR BETERBIEV = knows no fatigue, is relentless, has devastating punches. I like DIMITRY BIVOL but I fear for him when he faces Beterbiev in the ring.
Bivol will outbox him and win on points imo
That will be a crazy fight. I can’t picture either dude losing. I hope they can go through with the fight and make it happen
Every time biev opened up.he hurt him , cut him or bruised .Just took a piece of him.Yarde has the heart.Just out arched in every aspect.Even heart
Come at King Artur you best not miss!
What a fight Yarde and Beasterbiev gave us! Would like to see Yarde vs Jean Pascal or Joe Smith Jr
KO a Callum y después la mejor pelea q puede ofrecer el boxeo Bivol vs Beterbiev hay tiro!!! 🥊🔥🥊🔥🥊🔥🤴🏻🥊🤴🏻🥊🔥
This was boxing's fan kind of Fight, Yarde has my respect.
AB biggest competitor
yarde was wearing body protecxtor to help better absorb the shots the cheat
Arthur cut was a headbutt
Mad respect for both
awesome battle, respect to two powerful warriors
I've heard some people pronounce Artur's surname, as Be turb bee earv, instead of Better bee ev, and it sounds more Russian that way too.
I was hoping Yarde won this one, but Artur's a different gravy. Them hard bodied Russians are running the division too casually 😅
Beterbiev is something else, the man is just a Neanderthal , freakish strength
What a great fight both fighters fought like god's 🥊🎖️
Great Warriors!!!❤😮❤
The cold fact that no one ever wants a re-match with Beterbiev tells all!!
Best fight i saw in years 🎉
Szép volt Artúr Betyárbiev!Üdv.!👍🏼🥇🇭🇺
Yarde wore a lot of padding around his middle above the belt line . Makes me suspicious why they allow it and the commentators don’t point it out
Author is da best.,p4p no doubt the only current champion who has 100person ko power.
Битербиев молодец.
Ward saying artur is easily hit table? Idk, ward got dropped by Boone, I don’t think that makes him hitable. Yarde literally got better during this fight, and yarde starting punching with different speed and power but just didn’t know how to use his energy, even though yarde is in his prime and artur is old as hell, but artur is just a monster who is relentless in 75% power, yarde and caneLo those guys use 100% power and speed all the time. . His guard is soooo strong, people never talk about it.m
Он как ТАНК идёт вперед
Король Артур.
artur beterbiev P4P ☝🏻🦁 masha'allah
Definitely top 3 fights of the year this one
excelent
"The mayweather role."😂😂got m3
@smb_plush No, it is just yarde kept going to the ropes,Philly shell is the top best defensive tactic.
Artur ❤
This is the best fight anyone gave Artur in a while
Arthur is 👑🥊🐺🔥🔥🔥
beterbiev is one of the reasons ward retired so young
Артур наш земляк только в перёд! Удачи!
Good ass fight 💯💯💯💯💯
the final 11 seconds of round 5.... definitive.
I get the feeling Beterbiev lets opponent hit him to further demoralise
All the smith supporters yeah he's grown into light heavy....😂 beterbievs knocking ur boy out.......😊😊😊😊😊😊
Porque o juiz não mandou o Yarde ajudtar o protetor corporal? Isso poderia lhe dar uma vantagem, já que diminuia a efetividade dos socos que ele recebia no corpo.
Yarde threw more but landed a lot less. Beterbiev demonstrated amazing precision.
Yeah...odd ..belt guard miles too high...what did they wash his mouth piece in? Tried to conceal it from the referee And why do boxers have body armour? Every other sport its a cup?
Bivol, listen up. Everyone has a game plan until you get smacked in the mouth. You have not or will ever be hit by a harder puncher than Beterbiev.
You insinuate that Beterbiev is a plodder? He plodded right through Yarde a faster fighter.
Why was Yarde allowed to wear a body armour. That belt line was too high. This is not sparring. CORRUPTION
5:45 taking it well hahah them knees on yard buckled, but most wouldof went to sleep.
Arthur is a dangerous fighter.........OMG
C’mon with the high groin protector. That thing was practically over his liver. Ridiculous
First to ever see shorts fall off in boxing match.
Power jabs. Cutting the pie with L-step to right so he can land short right hook behind yards lead hand. Simple yet brutally effective. His balance and timing with the heavy hands are Heavy Duty 🏋️♂️guy trains with an amazing team in Montreal just a few hours away. I fought some of their fighters in amateur system. Most likely competed vs his coach who was involved in coaching at amateur level in 90,s. BB master at the mid range, understands his angles and variations to his attacks
Beterbiev, the disciplined master craftsmen who can punch like a mule and has a great chin. Clearly superior despite Andre Ward trying to infer that he is a plodder and both combatants of similar standing. Think Mr Ward is lucky he got out before being asked to face him. Lol
Anthony Yard, fought a good fight, no one expected him to be there that long! Well done to him! Beterbiev is a great champ!
Why does yard have a Padded girdle on.
