There is NO lhw (even cw) that could hang with Yarde. I didn't want to speak too early but the best lhw you'll see is SADLY another totally dominate future champ from the ****ing uk. This guy has it all, dudes got canelo level skill with ggg level power for a frigging CW. I bet this board will have to wait for him to destroy everyone, get old and finally lose to rate him. I rate him the best talent @lhw/cw atm. Not to change either
People will accuse you know of "jumping the gun" like they still do in Anthony Joshua threads but i have to agree with you, Yarde has great potential.
We'll see. He's clearly still in the bumbashing stage, and that opponent he faces tonight is by far his best to date. Let's see how he handles that first.
I like his style, very patient with good handspeed and power. I think Frank Warren needs to be moving him on faster.
He's an absolute monster complete beast. Excited to see another upcoming brit in a weight division were we don't have many prospects.
He claims (I fully agree) he's ready right now for any title holder or any top lhw. I know immediately when someone is truly special. This dude might be the most special of any lhw
Looks good but against very limited opposition, the guy has fighting tonight is obviously a small step up but he's not stopped anyone. Yarde had little or no amateur experience I'm lex to believe so he does need nurturing but he's head and shoulders above everyone he's been put up against so far. It's going to be a pain imo in balancing his career from true learning fights to potential fights in which he could lose as to being rushed.
Yarde as in Frank's fighter? He's not really proven. Got into boxing late so no real amateur background to look at either. Be interesting to see how he does when level of competition steps up
Yeah, that's him: the guy with the disproportionately small head in relation to the rest of his body.
Yup, I'm taking in to account how late he started and going off mostly his natural talent. He does the same sparring anyone who he works with. I just see he's got that IT FACTOR, insane natural ebb n flow
Look at him you'll think he's a heavyweight, but he's a LHW.. not even a Cruiser.. Guy is the biggest LHW ever. He will run through LWH and Cruiser division.
