The moment Yards fights a puncher at the weight he will be knocked out. So easy to hit with right handers.
Yarde is **** fought a fighter who looked like a middleweight and still looked ****. I hope the WBO enforce a fight with Kovalev just to shut the Liar in the camp up
Bored of him now. “Lions in the camp”! Mate, you just fought a 38 year old non puncher who weighed about a stone less than you on the night. He reminds me of Munguia...fundamentally flawed, cops shots but hits like a mule. His shot selection is really good but he drops his left hand so much. He’s massive for the weight in terms of strength. He’s really hurtful with every shot he lands but as someone pointed out above, he’s wide open for that right hand.
The muscles wont help him when he fights someone good and it goes late mate, he will be breathing out his arse. His footwork is not very good either. Lad is British level nothing more. Stylewise would love to see him v Callum Johnson. If he fought Bautsi it would be so one sided to Bautsi it would be untrue, as Bautsi is the real deal.
Agreed mate, he has a lot of muscle, god knows how he makes the weight. He’s allowed to fight at his own pace so he can afford to be very patient and methodical but like you say as soon as he faces a puncher who pushes him out of his comfort zone, he’ll start to gas. To his credit, he does have legitimate power, speed and timing but it’s all been on his terms with the opponents put in front of him. I’ll start to take interest when he fights someone who can hurt him when they land clean.
This was a boring fight, Yarde got rid of a 38 year old who turned pro at 32 and looked 1 division smaller than him.
I enjoyed the night even though only Jenkins and Garton was competitive. Nice to have a bit of boxing on a Friday night. Liam Williams looked class.
I don't understand why they are wanting Liam Williams to go back down in weight, looks better at middleweight.
Glad for Jenkins underrated and not had the chances his ability deserves. One of the promoters should be signing the likes of Jenkins and the Selby brothers up so they can do a few arena fights each year in Wales.
