    What is everyone's opinion on him, I think he is talented but I just come across his Instagram and he is with another new trainer it seems Bobby Rimmers son. He must of had five or six different trainers in the last two years, what is going on with him ?

    Maybe his manager can shed some light on it he posts on here and he was training him last time I checked so I don't know what's happened.

    Hes fighting the winner of Welborn vs Langford isnt he? Thats a good fighter either way and about time he made the step up.

    Middleweight is just vicious at the moment. Very difficult to see any prospect being thrown in with GGG, Jacobs, BJS etc and not getting eaten up

    Yes he is going to be mandatory but just crazy how in the last 12 months alone he has been trained by Pat Barrett Ricky Hatton Kevin Maree ( his manager ) now Bobby Rimmer. Just seems a bit strange to me why he can't settle with a trainer?

    I know it was a bit of a trek over Kevin's for him and he recently got sponsorship which helped with the costs which where his main concerns.
    Why he should leave Kevin now tho I have no idea.

    I rate him. He’s methodical, patient, can fight southpaw quite effectively with a really good, heavy left hand.

    I read an article about him a while back in Boxing Monthly. It seems he lost his way and wasn’t very committed, but by sounds of it he matured a bit with family life and knuckled down. Hopefully we’ll see more of him now.

    He stepped it up against Robinson after beating a number of journeyman, but Robinson isn’t a dangerous puncher which the same could be said for all his opponents so far. If i’m gonna criticise Yarde then I may as well be consistent with Heffron, too.

    Really top post I also rate Mark but like you say he hasn’t fought a live opponent yet and feeding him journey men won’t help him when he moves up to a higher level

    Local lad and I hope he comes through and has some success.
    20 fights in, time to step on the gas and start knocking over some name fighters. If he can get past Welborn/Langford then he could do well. He looks the part and he's carrying some kind of dig

    Gallagher bummed his poodle. The poodle is still traumatised.

    Quality fighter, Him and Felix Cash would be a good fight down the line.
