    Hit with easy shots but young and powerful. The shine is off and Tunde really ought to calm down. He looked subdued in post fight interview, as well he should.

    If he fights Bivol within 2 years, he will be destroyed for good - dangerous power but needs to develop skills and experience to compete at World Level.

    Back to the day job bashing puddings for 2-3 fights then hopefully progress through the levels properly before any world title challenge - must stay away from any elite fighter as any will spark him out badly.

    Effort is enough to be considered great by some.

    It's always the same

    'They showed heart''

    It's the thing which is celebrated most with british sportsman - effort, grit and passion

    This indicates that you are not interested in British boxing interests, in a British Boxing Forum. Or otherwise directly against them.

    Yes, and that’s all anybody is saying, that he tried his guts out and took a real beating.

    Tunde should have pulled him out at the end of the tenth.

    I now see why Canelo wanted the fight with Kovalev he is not the same fighter who destroyed Cleverly, he was there to be beaten tonight.

    Yarde was brave but he is not a twelve round fighter yet, as another poster said he was out of gas after the eighth round.

    I hope Yarde comes again, but him and Tunde had a reality check tonight.

    This must be the most pathetic promotion in the history of British boxing.

    Ashes, Challenge Cup, England Wales, full football calendar, Ebor. Just pathetic from Warren. Unbeaten challenger for a world title and nobody knew this fight was happening. The man's a disgrace. Such a shame to see top class boxing ignored but it'll keep happening to Frank fighters I'm afraid.

    My favorite current british fighters are Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubios, so clearly I have interest.

    It just so happens that most of today's current crop of British fighters are swindlers who blag their way through the rankings

    Frank doesn't care about casuals.

    He delivers towards the hardcore

    We know your thoughts Tony
    Its well documented

    Its time to now talk about the aftermath of the fight

    Its a boxing forum
    We were all gonna watch it so i doubt many here give a crap about the odd and admittedly lack of promotion

    Your hatred for Warren needs to go in a separate thread and join the discussion regarding tonights enjoyable fight

    Got to agree that’s probably what we’ll see when in realty he needs to be thrown into tough domestic/European level scraps. There’s certain things you can’t learn in a gym and he needs to learn those things

    Yarde is better suited to being a pressure fighter with a high guard, I have been saying it for ages.

    I'm a boxing fan. It's plainly terrible to see unbeaten, high quality fighters in world title fights going under the radar.

    I want boxing to do well above all. Warren continues to disappoint.
