Yearde will be Smith's second KO loss and likely the end of his career. Smith a level above bad fighters, but he is still below guys like Yearde imo.

Smith's reputation probably exceeds what he's achieved in the sport. His best win by a mile was George Groves. Was anybody else he beat even in a Ring/TBRB Top 10 at the time?

I like this matchup... Isn't Yarde fighting some Serbian guy next month? If he gets through that ok, and he should, then Smith would be a good route back into contention for him. They could bill it as the battle of Betterbeef's left overs...

Depends which Yarde shows up
On paper it’s all good , come fight night …….

yarde should win, has a lot more dog in him than smith

You looked bad against Ryder, and even worse against Beterbiev. Yarde has put up spirited effort's, even in his losses, and you haven't.

Yes - agreed. If he managed to beat Yarde it would be one of his best two wins. I think he'll retire, but he might just take this fight, considering the massive purse that will be on offer in Saudi.
