Doesn't matter, still a big gulf between his opposition so far and Beterbiev.

Nothing wrong with him supporting his countrymen not sure why you added the patronizing remark. You have no qualms and pull no punches with your overwhelming support of EE fighters so why is there an issue when patriotism is expressed by a brother who shares the same land as you.

Come on Serge don’t be so bitter, you’re pretty biased and subjective though I’ve always noticed a least a smidge of rationalism here and there.

Way to jump to a conclusion Caper. Who said I had a problem with him rooting for his countryman? Not me.

And you think I would be in the least bit surprised, and I do mean least with a capital L, upon finding out that juicy revelation, especially when his countryman is facing an Eastern European fighter (aka ''Russians'') and one that he dislikes a great deal?

This is from Aug, 2016 but it wasn't exactly news to me then lol

"The Eastern European fighters are here - a lot of them. So they are getting those opportunities. I think there is an inherent rivalry there between Americans and Russians, because they are on our turf trying to make a name and we're trying to defend what we have so to speak - that's how I look at it. No disrespect, it's nothing personal, but yeah I think there is an inherent rivalry there because they are trying to take something that we have," Ward said.

I was actually alluding to a conversation I had with a friend the other day about Kovalev vs Browne. I said that contrary to seemingly the general consensus I think it's a dangerous fight for Kovalev and that IMO the outcome is not the foregone conclusion many seem to think it is. That Browne is a tall, rangy southpaw with fast hands and a dig and I wouldn't be surprised if Kovalev hits the deck or even lost it at this stage of his career. And then I said that Browne would also have the additional advantage of Ward giving him tips and advice on how to beat Kovalev and sharing all the information the spies he had in Kovalev's camps relayed to him. And I yet again I was bang on the money as I have been so often when it comes to Ward, hence the addition of the self congratulatory ('patronizing'') remark at the end.

An apology would be nice.

To be fair, Beterbiev should be regarded as the most dangerous LH out there. Because not only he's a good boxer with a quite long amateurish career, he's also a ferocious warrior with very powerful punches, who can literally break faces — he can break your nose, break your jaw. And it's really scary to face an opponent like that. Not many boxers were enthusiastic to face Mike Tyson, for example.

But that also proves that Yarde is... well, maybe not a fraud, but he's definitely overrated.

How is he over rated? Has ANYONE here said he is ready for a world title shot?

I get they think the fight is to early fair play, but if your going to turn down world title fights then stop bragging about your world rankings the whole point of rankings is to climb the ladder to fight for a world title.

Why exactly is this being held against Yarde?

Beterbiev is a colossal step up from what Yarde has faced thus far. Since when are we pressuring greenhorns to jump in with huge punchers having never even faced a B+ journeyman?
Click to expand...

It is now being held against yarde because him, his team and warren have all said he is beyond British and euro level and those fights with the likes of burton, buglioni, Johnson would be a step backwards so......

They need to stop feeding him over matched opponents then. If they have the belief I think he would have been moved slightly faster, they have the chat, throw him in with a name now

Beterbievs car crash career lol its his own doing IMO he should take control of his career & own destiny & stop fighting scrubs! Even go down the social media route, call fighters out, troll them, go to there fights & get the camera on you! Increase your profile, anything! Stop languishing in obscurity! Stalk the division!

Gymbot · Mar 27, 2018

Yarde has good potential, but don't bank on Frank Warren stepping him up quickly. He's got at least another 10 fights before he fights anyone remotely dangerous.

There's a hint of Ohara Davies about Yarde. Maybe a little harsh...

absolutely nailed it, at this moment in time he really does.

Limerickbox · Mar 27, 2018

Not surprised by this.
You cant jump from his current competition to Beterbiev.

A fight against someone like Callum Johnson is perfect

silencio · Mar 27, 2018

Wise decision... I can't give Yarde a snowball's chance in hell against Beterbeast atm... Oh, and the the Poles are a dangerous bunch - just ask Marko Huck...

Was I being presumptuous or presumptive? Maybe a combination of the two.

Never intended to offend you sir, that wasn’t my goal so my apologies.

There’s a certain element to Wards support that condradicts the crabs in a barrel mentality that a lot of generational disadvantaged folks adopted in America. I don’t see the issue with strategic support. The whole spy gate theory with Jackson is speculation so I’m not one to support conspiracy theories unless proven tangible and valid.

Clear duck. They don't want no part of Callum Johnson either.
