David Benavidez, the current WBC light-heavyweight champion, has dealt a crushing defeat to Anthony Yarde in their highly anticipated bout in Saudi Arabia. The British boxer's third shot at a world title was ended abruptly in the seventh round as Benavidez's relentless pressure and punching power proved too much for Yarde to handle.
The fight took place in front of a packed crowd, but it's clear that Yarde didn't have the home advantage he had been expecting. Despite his valiant efforts, Yarde's defenses were breached time and again, with Benavidez landing several devastating blows that left him stumbling around the ring.
It was a brutal display from Benavidez, who showcased his trademark aggression and skill to outbox his opponent. Yarde, on the other hand, struggled to cope with Benavidez's relentless pace, and it ultimately proved to be his downfall.
The stoppage victory marked Benavidez's first win since regaining the WBC title in August last year. The win has propelled him further into contention for future title defenses, while Yarde will undoubtedly be left wondering what might have been if he had been able to capitalize on his own strengths and opportunities.
For fans of both boxers, it was a highly entertaining bout that showcased their respective skills and styles. However, in the end, Benavidez's sheer power and determination proved to be too much for Yarde, leading to a decisive victory that will go down in history as one of the most brutal defeats in recent memory.

he just destroyed yarde like it was nothing! i mean, you gotta respect the guy's skill and aggression - he went toe to toe with yarde and landed some crazy punches that left him reeling 
. and yeah, it's a bit sad for yarde that he didn't capitalize on his strengths and opportunities... but hey, you can't win 'em all, right? 
.
just watched this fight and Benavidez is on FIRE 
. But you know what? I feel bad for Yarde too, he gave it his all but just couldn't keep up with Benavidez's pace 
.
.
he was relentless out there, just wouldn't stop coming at yarde with those bombs 
meanwhile yarde got schooled 
can't believe he didn't capitalize on his speed and agility 
Yarde got some credit for going toe-to-toe, that takes guts! 
.
his pace was insane and yarde just couldn't keep up. i'm loving how benavidez is taking it to everyone now that he's back as champ 
, have you guys tried that one with the lobster roll? anyway, back to boxing... I mean, can you believe Benavidez's face after that knockout punch 
. what do you think the next big move for Benavidez is? will he keep going for another title shot soon? 
and left Yarde reeling 
and his punches were like a sledgehammer 
. anyway, benavidez has solidified his position as wbc light-heavyweight champ 
and now fans are getting hyped for his next title defense 
he just kept coming at anthony yarde with those crazy punches and yarde just couldn't keep up! i was on the edge of my seat, wondering when or if yarde was gonna land a good shot 
still fun to watch tho!
. He's all like "punch-punch-punch" and never gives his opponent a chance to breathe 
. I love watching boxers go toe-to-toe and fight tooth-and-nail 
.
but for yarde, it was more of a nightmare 
... Benavidez is just on another level right now 
.
! Can't wait to see what's next for these two boxers
