Once he realised Vlasov was a genuine opponent based on the fan reaction and betting. He soiled his nappy and faked an injury to dodge the fight. We will be waiting forever for the Vlasov fight to be re-scheduled. Yarde has proven to be a man, he fought Kovalev and he rematched Arthur.
Agreed. Nobody can question the bollocks on Yarde. Buatsi will still be having ‘step ups’ in 3 years.
Yarde has a chance, I wouldn't write him off completely, he folded Arthur in the second fight and although Beterbiev is obviously a few levels up from Arthur he has still been dropped by a rusty Callum Johnson, he can be gotten to.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if that happened or sooner, that said if it went to the eighth round and Yarde catches him clean and wobbles him that wouldn't surprise me either.
tbf corspe kovalev beats everyone on buatsi record Did say think beterbiev would win really early on sat and he will against yarde or buatsi. Total mismatch
When has Buatsi been trying to get a fight with him seriously? Hearn made an offer when Yarde was mandatory for a unified champion, you know for a fact if it was the other way round there isn't a chance they take that fight. An offer doesn't always mean it's genuine. Still amazes me how boxing fans of many years keep falling for the same tricks.
I don’t know why Yarde is entertaining this. Well I do…he knows he’s one lucky punch away from immortality: The man that beat the beast. It would make a great movie with Yarde playing himself. It would elevate him to Mega star status! But back on earth, Beterbiev to win in 2.
