Benavidez beats Yarde by stoppage
Anthony Yarde speaking after his defeat to David Benavidez: “I’m fantastic. He’s a hell of a fighter. I knew how he would come. He caught me with a good shot on my nose when I was dipping.
“I felt like it was competitive. I know how he comes with good pressure. I was boxing, boxing, thinking middle rounds, the dog rounds, we would exchange.
“He has quick hands, caught me first and hit me with a good shot on the nose. When I took a knee and he hit me when I was down, I was dizzy after that.
“I stuck in there. I’m a fighter.”
