Quite funny to see Yarde lose to a guy who pretty much jabbed the whole fight and through about 10 right hands
Only just watched the Yarde fight. Yarde 100% needs to go to a new trainer. I like Lyndon Arthur, does he have much of a following in Manchester?
I backed Arthur last night because I felt his jab would have done the job. Technically I was right, but it was clear from the last round that if Yarde had spent a few rounds with proper pressure he could have done something.
Yarde needed to stop posing like Mayweather and have a trainer to tell him that he needed to fight more in the rounds. So many rounds he just let slip away it was ridiculous.
This is where Tunde is so at fault, Listening to Pat Barrett, giving him proper instructions etc. Then Tunde "You got this you got this"
Well done Lyndon Arthur. He was seen as a huge underdog and proved that wrong. Yarde was never much good. There's nothing on his record to suggest he's good.
I do actually feel a bit sorry for Yarde. He does have ability, but he has a trainer who just blows smoke up his ass the whole time. Tunde won't be looking at why they lost that fight, they will be concentrating on him being "robbed". In reality he only fought a bloke with one hand and only had him in trouble once.
why u feel sorry, he chose to stick with tunde... no one to blame but himself... the sad part is, he is nearly 30... and old dawg cant learn new tricks he has peaked
Then maybe you would also include what his trainer said post fight for completeness? Just saw that Barrett's interview was posted above. So you are actually choosing what you want to believe based on your narrative?
a yarde keeps saying "this is boxing" well you u need to spar in order to learn how to box, u just wont cut it at the higher level, he is still learning on the job look at his stable mate bilal ali, completely clueless his last fight against a bum
Its very easy to blame a trainer but last night arthurs corner were clear precise and gave him good advice for the full minute. Tunde to yarde in 1 round said relax. Nothing else for full minute . Its clear see yarde does have some skills but will never fulfill his potential until he gets a decent coach that won't blow smoke up his arse
It was a dull fight last night. Arthur nicked enough rounds to deserve the win. Yarde was very poor, it's hard to see where he goes from here. There won't be much demand for a rematch, but that's the best fight for Yarde to target IMO, but he'd have to take more risks and fight Arthur the way he fought him in the 12th round. Arthur doesn't really need a Yarde rematch though so I can see Warren making Arthur a very generous offer to give Yarde a chance at redemption. Bad week for Warren having his two main poster boys suffering defeats.
