This was a damn great fight!!!!
Yarde put up a great fight, I think that his corner saved him being put out bad, cold even. Beterbiev is 1 of the most vicious finishers in all combat sports!
Beterbiev vs Bivol. I'm still taking Beterbiev. This is how he fights, he breaks you!!!

I’m leaning more towards Bivol after this fight but I’m nowhere near confident. Beterbiev’s power is a huge wildcard. Bivol will have to be almost perfect.

Amazing Fight candidate from now on for the best fight of the year. Yarde looked much better than I expected, but Beterbiev's power is inevitable. Beterbiev has shown that he is not only KO Power, he also has good technical fundamentals and has shown that he is capable of coming out ahead when he faces adversity.
I still picking Beterbiev over Bivol to win the potential title unification.
