    I'm a boxing fan. It's plainly terrible to see unbeaten, high quality fighters in world title fights going under the radar.

    I want boxing to do well above all. Warren continues to disappoint.

    You want boxing to do well, yet you blindly defend all things Matchroom who are doing far more damage to the reputation of british boxing than Frank Warran.

    If you're going to find problems with Frank, then I better hear you hold Eddie Hearn to account

    Not every promotion can be perfect but come on. This was particularly pathetic.

    Pathetic is PED Whyte on PPV defending his Lineal Pudding Title

    Agreed mate, but anyone who knows anything about boxing knew he was live in the fight and he showed it in the 8th.

    All the Kovalev destroys him early to mid rounds posters have gone quiet.

    Kovalev was past prime, he did what he had to do and outclassed Yarde. Prime Kovalev would have done him in within 6 rounds.

    You can't take a moral victory because a fresh fighter nearly a decade younger had a good moment in one round against a old man but got battered the rest of the fight

    I’m watched Kovalev live several times throughout his career, which I doubt you have knobby, so am fully aware he is past his prime.

    Obviously the Krusher that beat Clev and Pascal would have stopped him early, but that was years ago. Crap comment tbh you clown.

    You saw Kovalev live in the flesh and now you think you're some kind of expect on boxing?

    If that is the case, why are you behaving as if Yarde silenced his critics because Kovalev didn't finish him off in the early to mid rounds?

    What is your point besides seeking moral victory?

    I said Kovalev would batter him and there would be Lions In The Grave

    Sleep on that!

    He ended up resembling a battered pudding in a local fish & chip shop

    Yarde deserves a lot of credit for toughing it out as long as he did, but ultimately he gassed and got stopped as I expected. He did do better than I thought he would though.
