    How far do you think he'll go @houmzz?

    Have to say, for a guy with no amateur background and only 11 (easy) pro fights, he looks remarkably skilled.

    Do you think he can stay at LHW at his prime? Because if he grows into CW he'll find Usyk, Gassiev, etc. too tough imho.

    I think he will stay, I think he will move up if everybody will avoid him.He can compete at cruiserweight if his chin will hold up.

    This boy is a beast that is destined to make big waves in his division. Has a very enjoyable style to watch and is very astute defensively. And considering his rough background, he conducts himself in an admirable manner.

    I look forward to watching more fights with better quality opponents to see how they would stand up to his power which is real.

    Looks the goods to me. One of the most exciting prospects in world boxing, never mind the UK. He has that air of relaxed confidence you can't teach. Great power, punch variety and not easy to hit. He is a star in the making.

    I agree he does look very decent, but it's early days yet. I'm looking forward to finding out his level mind you

    So Yarde's team is gunning for Ward's title, not a bad idea considering Ward will move up and title will be more winnable than before.
