3 rounds of ****e. Arthur just jabbing occasionally, while Yarde jerks about and doesn't throw. Can't really fault Arthur too much, as it's working.
Good boxing from Arthur - rightfully not taking chances from a big puncher in Yarde. Yarde on the other hand seems to be wanting to tire Arthur out - needs to do more though to make Arthur work if that is his tactic.
Arthur told his corner he can't land his right - Yarde seems to have realised and is coming forward a bit more. I have Arthur up by 3 rounds.
Two weekends in a row that the superior boxer beat the power puncher. I think that Arthur is now the mandatory challenger for the vacant WBO light heavyweight championship as well.
Listening to the Yarde interview, he must have eaten too many jabs to believe what he is saying. Awful tactics from the Yarde corner.
He's not learning from his mistakes because he's got a **** trainer. He thinks that Lions In The Camp gets him a win, for some reason. Should've got in close far earlier and he'd have put him out.
Definitely - my thought earlier was that he was trying to tire Arthur before going forward but it turns out that his inept corner thought it was him winning so told him to carry on doing nothing. Arthur couldn't shake someone's hand properly so I don't believe him about his right hand being fine - probably doesn't want to jeopardise any future fights.
