Arthur vs. Yarde

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Definitely looking forward to watching 3 bright young British prospects on the bill this evening... Dennis 'The Menace' McCann is just what his nickname tells you he his and for a Bantamweight / Super Bantamweight, he carries serious power... This evening he faces a career Super Flyweight, who even though he his Portugal's No 1 in the weight division (they appear to only have Pedro Matos by the way), he has been Stopped twice within his 3 defeats... Dennis McCann hits harder than the guys who have beat him and especially by Stoppage... I expect simple Math to prevail and McCann to look good doing so... Meanwhile, starting out at the top of the bill Muhammad Ali and Karol Itauma are 2 excellent young prospects who both have potential to go far in the sport, so long as they live the life and are matched correctly, whilst remaining injury free... Both guys are taking on established 100 + fight journeyman, with Ali even fighting a Lightweight at a catch weight bout of Featherweight... I definitely expect both to prevail, with Ali earning a shutout Points victory against the physically larger opponent in Jamie Quinn... If the Itauma Vs Van Poetsch fight is over 6 Rounds and given the fact that Karol Itauma is the 2018 Youth Olympic Gold Medalist, I think he might try and get Van Poetsch out of there to make a statement of his intentions to the rest of the division, which domestically would be impressive... If Not, definitely a points Win for Itauma too, probably 60 - 54...Looking forward to the card🤔👍🥊👊👌... 🦁🦁

Ramabeletsa vs. Bourke
I choose Chris Bourke at -300. He has a creative suplex. Bourke could bully the masterpiece. Easiest pick of the night!

McCann vs. Matos
I am loyal to Dennis McCann at -10000. He has a kosher guillotine. McCann shall punish the underdog.

Yarde vs. Arthur
I am with Anthony Yarde at -650. He has a zippy harai goshi. Yarde can maintain the crowd noise.

Nice little test for McCann there. The rounds will do him good. I do hope Frank and the BT Boxing crew slow down a bit with the "New Prince Naz" talk!!! Jeez!!! The kids good but he ain't no Naz!!!!! He's definitely a talent but he's still a kid at 19 with much room for improvement.


Anyway time for "Kittens in the Camp'". Do get buss' up with some simple boxing fundamentals! 

Also ODDSBOT. Pick a feckin underdog 1 time will you!!!! Haha 

As always, Mikey delivers harsh words 🤓🤔🥊👊👍

Haha! Harsh but true!  Haha! 

Hahaha! It's almost like I know what I'm talking about!
2 weeks in a row, 2 big upsets!!!
All because people love knockouts and boxing fundamentals isn't sexy!! But as my old trainer and any boxer worth his salt will tell you, the jab is the most important punch in boxing!
2 weekends in a row I've added a little bonus to my bank account! Thank you SO MUCH BT Sport for hyping up muscle men!!! Haha
