Credit to Anthony Yarde for giving Artur Beterbiev a real run Saturday night in Great Britain. Many, if not most, had assumed the IBF, WBC and WBO light heavyweight champion of the world Beterbiev would have an easy night’s work against the popular Yarde. While it’s true Beterbiev was able to stop his man in the eighth, there’s no denying that Yarde not only showed up to Wembley on Saturday to win, but that he had more than a few moments for himself against his undefeated 18-0 opponent. Suffice to say, the fans, those watching live from Wembley as well as those watching from home, were presented with an entertaining throwdown.
The red hot 21-1 welterweight contender Alexis Rocha battled the 33-5-1 George Ashie Saturday night in a scheduled 12 round main event at the YouTube Arena in Englewood, California. The Golden Boy promoted fight, which was broadcast live on the DAZN, meant a great deal for Rocha, as a win could lead to him squaring off against WBO welterweight kingpin Terence Crawford.
