Russian Arthur Beterbiev could knock out Britain’s Anthony Yard even harder, says Russian boxing team head coach Viktor Farkhutdinov.
On Saturday in London, Beterbiev defeated Yard by eighth-round technical knockout and defended his WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight titles.
– I can’t say that I saw the hardest fight of Beterbiev’s career. The duel turned out very good. Confident victory by KO in the eighth round. Artur’s opponent was not easy. He participated in many tournaments, although he did not become world champion. I have seen Yard several times. He is a very strong boxer. And indeed, the fight was not easy, but little by little everything was arranged. Certain victory. Beterbiev is a hard-hitting boxer, his punches hit the mark, he won with a clear advantage. There are no questions for Yard seconds. There was a big reversal. Then Arthur knocked after him. Angle saved his boxer. Artur could have knocked out Yarde even harder,” Farkhutdinov told MMA.Metaratings.ru.
