David Benavidez vs Anthony Yarde: November 22 for the WBC Light Heavyweight Title

 

Anthony Yarde is a British boxer with an 88.89% KO rate. He hails from Hackney, London, United Kingdom, and currently lives in Ilford, Essex, United Kingdom. He stands at 6 ft tall and made his debut in 2015.

Unlike David Benavidez, Yarde is not a superstar. He is quite known in British boxing circles; he's not a superstar like David. He needs to make a significant impact to establish his reputation. Anthony Yarde has lost three times in his career to Arthur Beterbiev, Sergey Kovalev, and Lyndon Arthur. He is someone that Benavidez should be a little bit wary about. With an 88.89% K.O ratio, Anthony possesses a lot of power and is willing to take punches in order to land some of his own.

The main challenge for Anthony Yarde is his flat-footedness. He just doesn't move well, especially when his opponent corners him on the ropes. You know one thing for sure: Benavidez is one of the best when it comes to his opponents. If Yarde does not involve himself in fighting a technical fight, he will most definitely lose against David Benavidez.

Benavidez is undefeated with an 80% knockout ratio. Nicknamed "El Monstro", he stands at 6 ft 2 in, with a reach of 74.5 in, weighing 174.2 lb. He's a pressure fighter who exploits inactivity, meaning if you are slow-footed and not fast with your hands, you will have a hard time beating him. He's very lanky and knows how to keep his distance; he's not as easy to hit as many people think.

While Anthony Yarde has a slim chance against Benavidez, he is unlikely to win, only because his weaknesses will be easily exploited by the much larger and lanky light heavyweight, David Benavidez.

David Benavidez wins by TKO.
