The Security Battle of Artur Beterbiev against Anthony Yarde seems to be just a boot for Russian boxers. Yarde played superior to the opponent in the second and 5th half, but that was not enough to help him dominate before a Beterbiev was still very strong at the age of 38.
Beterbiev's straight punches have maximized effectiveness in this match. Russian boxers made Yarde have to fall into suffering, when they had to repeatedly receive attacks on the face. Beterbiev's punch in the 8th half caused Yarde to collapse. The British boxer tried to stand up to play, but soon lost awareness of stunning.
Witnessing Yarde no longer awake against Beterbiev, the referee had to stop the match, and recognized the victory for the Russian boxer. This is also the 19th consecutive victory in Beterbiev career. He not only successfully protected 3 championship belts, but also extended the 100% victory achievement.
After the Yarde victory, the next opponent of Beterbiev was almost identified. Dmitry Bivol, a compatriot with Beterbiev, is likely to unify the belt this year. The winner will acquire all the most prestigious professional belts to become the absolute champion of Light Heavyweight.
Up to this point, Bivol is holding the WBA Super belt and a series of successful defense matches 12 consecutive times. The boxer carrying two Russian and North Korean blood was too strong compared to every opponent, when he defeated Canelo Alvarez convincingly. In the opposite direction, Beterbiev holds up to 3 WBA, WBO and IBF belts.
