Artur Beterbiev – Anthony Yarde: forecast and bets for the fight on January 28
“We know perfectly well who Beterbiev is. He is a monster. But so is our guy,” says Warren. – If Yard caught you – that’s it, write it down. We have not forgotten how Beterbiev was sent to the floor by Callum Johnson, so he cannot be called invulnerable. Even though Callum is not as powerful a puncher as our guy.”
“Arthur is a uniform machine of destruction, whose record is perfect, no other reigning champion can boast of anything like it. And this, of course, is a difficult fight for Anthony,” Frank said. “But I do think this could be his moment. He is very confident in himself. He can hit, he can box. And now he has more experience. I have a feeling that he can arrange an upset.
