    He's 38, of course he's slowing down. He's still one of if not the best at 175 and he's going to brutally, absolutely, destroy Yarde.

    Notwithstanding the tittering, I don't think Yarde meant any disrespect. But a Beterbiev episode can't possibly end well for him. Two different levels of fighter.

    It wasn't bad but it was Beterbiev's reaction that's amusing

    And the fact he doesn't have to try to be intimidating

    Yarde laughed it off but I can sense from his reaction and one or two other things he said he's finds him a bit intimidating too

    Strange career Yarde's having. String of deeply domestic fare, huge step up. Another string of deeply domestic fare, another huge step up. Nothing really to bridge the gap in opposition class and fill in those experience gaps.

    He does have talent but he's 1-2 against the only two fighters with a pulse he's fought and one of them hasn't beaten anyone with a pulse other than him. It's crazy he's received two title shots given the abysmal level of his opposition.

    Callum Smith is the Smith that he'll be suggesting pain is awaiting him.

    Only Bivol stands a chance. A clever boxer.

    Frank Warren has always had a very cosy relationship with the WBO.

    Good post, Great hard working fighter no bs, no being lame, showing off acting like he's all that, always training trying to better himself without all that overconfident talk that you hear so often,

    I would like to see him against Bivol, we've waited long enough.

    I agree. It's overdue. In my opinion, Bivol will chase the Canelo carrot for big money in a rematch.

    Plus there's also a possibility that Zurdo beats Bivol too. Never say never. He'll outweigh Bivol by a good 20lbs on fightnight and he's naturally much bigger and stronger too.
