Prediction: David Benavidez by Stoppage
Result: David Benavidez by Stoppage
Pretty easy fight to predict, Benavidez obviously beat the overmatched Yarde who never done anything on the world level and didn't deserve the shot. Benavidez is a great fighter and a ton of fun to watch. Yarde has never deserved a title shot, I hoped he could do something like he did against Beterbiev and Kovalev, but he was absolutely terrible and I hope he never gets another world title shot.
