    The Yarde/Hatton, Tszyu/Beterbiev comparisons don't work. First, Beterbiev is better p4p than Tszyu. And secondly, Hatton was A LOT BETTER than Yarde.

    I'm not seeing it, Yarde sucks. He has a decent punch and is somewhat fast twitchy, but he has no skill.

    A little controversy reported by a French reporter. This morning Yarde finds that Beterbiev’s Rival gloves are too hard, he has some Addidas gloves. AB offered him his second pair of Rivals if he wanted them…Technically this should have been settled on Friday, a little attempt to bother AB maybe?

    Credit to Yarde for taking this challenge, say what you want about him but at least he's willing to test himself against the best. Good luck to him

    This isnt a risk for Yarde. Nobody expects him to win

    The risk is his health.

    Theres a risk of him getting him head smashed into oblivion, there's a lot of fighters out there not willing to risk losing on points let alone to get seriously concussed. I'm not expecting him to win although I'd like him to, looking forward to this one

    Really looking forward to Artem Dalakian-David Jiminez. Love that chief support.

    Anything else on the cards that interests anyone?

    War Beterbiev!

    For a moment let's say Yarde shocks the world and takes it. How long does he hold those belts?

    The rest of the card is poor but tune in for Moises Itauma. He is an 18 year old heavyweight tipped for big things. Frank Warren plans for him to become the youngest Heavyweight World Champion since Mike Tyson. Apparently he'll be the chief support so after Dalakien Jimenez.

    Looks like your standard domestic drek aside from the main event and like 1 other fight. A slew of -10,000 Brits against the trash heap.

    His reputation is not at risk. Its actually far riskier in that sense to fight domestic competition because if he cant best them then his career is over.

    Not too long in my opinion, I think the other champions beat him and also some of the other top contenders but he can have a few successful defences if he's carefully matched

    I don’t think if Yarde wins it’ll shock the world. Beterbiev is 40. It would be a big upset, but Father Time is undefeated.
