Yarde has been fighting solid c-Level types the last times out. and he Looks very solid. what is alarming however is that his Management is going out of their way to ensure that his opponents, while as stated solid journeymen types, are all featherfisted. light heavy is loaded with Talent and there are alot of b and c- Level fighters out there that are at least solid/average Punchers. yet his Management appear very very cautious. are they suggesting a serious chin Problem with their behavior?? cause to me Yard Looks like a poster Boy for "Chin made in China" type.
I think his management is just that type. Partly for financial reasons, partly due to being cautious. If someone like Yarde is clipped and even wobbled it undermines the image they are trying to cultivate. Takes away the aura of invincibility they want the casuals to buy into. He may well have a weak chin but even if it was granite I think this management team would match him pretty much the same.
Although I'm pretty sure it's done on purpose, it doesn't have to mean they're protecting "china" in this case. Not letting upcoming prospects in with hardhitters is to protect them from upsets in general. Getting outboxed can (and in many cases will) be fixed by judges, while drooling on the floor is harder to overcome unless you're called Dirrell. And then there's the damage that prospect can take, not being able to ever reach his full potential due to it.
yes, i agree that it is General practice not to put prospects in with Punchers. but in his case it´s not just that they dont put him in with Punchers..........they put him in with featherfisted guys! there is a big difference.
He's cocky but I quite like him. he's got speed and power but he is way too easy to hit - if he does have a chin problem we will know quickly when (if) he steps up. Also looking at his pecs and six pack I feel is just like looking in a mirror. lol.
