Lonnie Thompson is of the opinion that Anthony Yarde has the punching force to defeat the WBC lights of heavyweight champion David benavidez in their fight on November 22 in Riyadh. He questions whether Yarde (27-3, 24 COs) has something left after being knocked out by former Unified Light Heavyweight champion Artur Betterur Betterur.
Yarde’s punching threat
“It’s a difficult battle for benavidez. Anthony Yarde is strong,” Lonnie Thompson said Pro Boxing fansand discussed the battle of David Banavidez on November 22 against Anthony Yarde. “He’s strong.”
Benavidez’s “Victory Lap”
If benavidez is exhausted from weight loss and the punishment he took against David Morrell in February in February. Yarde has a real chance of a dismay. Benavidez celebrates in his five months Victory After the victory over Morrell, and it seems he has picked up a good 40 pounds, with most of it around his waist.
Losing the fat is going to be a great ordeal for benavidez, and it will take away a lot of its power. He has shown no power since moving up to 175, but it will be worse after losing the excess weight he has been wearing Morrell since his fight. If you have lost 40 pounds before, you will know that it will take away the power you had. Therefore, it is never a good idea to get out of shape so badly in the first place when you are an athlete.
“If he hit benavidez with the shots he hit Artur (betterbiev) with (he’s in trouble),” Thompson said that Yarde is dangerous. “It depends on how much he has left after fighting Artur because he took a few shots. I know that David is not nowhere as hard as Artur or nowhere is so strong. Different styles. ‘
Yarde hurt Betterbiev during their battle on January 28, 2023. The left heels that Yarde Artur caught in that battle would be difficult to take for benavidez without taking on the canvas as we saw in his battle with Morrell. He was hurt twice in battle, and Morrell did not beat him as often. The shots he ended up on “the Mexican monster” swollen his face and gave him a strange look.
Yarde’s dangerous left brackets
“It’s a good fight, because David is going to be there with someone who throws back to him and throws back hard,” Thompson says. “It’s a difficult battle, because if Yarde fights against Artur, it will be a difficult evening with the little hand and the first time and all and the check.”
Benavidez leaves himself open with his combination punch, and the way he throws out of the middle. He focuses on throwing quick shots of the machine gun, leaving his head and body wide open. Oleksandr Gvozdyk hurt benavidez with body photos in their battle of 2024 Morrell got his attention every time HT hit him in the bread basket. You can see that benavidez doesn’t like it.
“He hit Artur with some good shots. If he hits David, it will be interesting to see. It’s a fight I’m looking forward to, ‘says Thompson.
