    For the self-proclaimed Knowledge he talks alot of nonsense. Also racial undertones to many of his predictions (as you say in this one.) I personally don't waste my time listening to him anymore.

    yeah I try to mostly avoid him but occasionally I like to listen just to laugh at the clowns predictions and views.

    some classic comedy gold ones were claiming that he beat up Winky Wright in sparring. And saying Danny Williams had better technical skills than Tyson Fury :qmeparto:

    On a serious note, it is a bit weird how he seems to repeatedly get away with way over the top, ridiculous racial bias and be so up front about it as if he's doing nothing wrong, why is nobody putting it on him and calling him out on it? I bet it absolutely breaks him that Fury and Usyk are head and shoulders above the rest at the top of the Heavyweight tree.

    Never knew he said those two things. But it does not surprise me as he is an idiot.

    Accusing others of racial bias is racist. Ask some of the BLM darlings of the forum.

    I don't really know how Yarde can do it, can he go 12 rounds without getting caught by a bomb? Beterbiev has stopped all 18 opponents he's faced, look at what he did to Smith Jnr, a very hard man, in his last fight.

    I like Spencer, he's a top guy and does a lot for the community, but I don't take his boxing punditry seriously.

    Obviously not. There's only one way this can go and it's Yarde being knocked out.

    Actually genuinely dislike this guy, don’t know how he can be so blatantly racist and get away with it.

    If the power doesn't get him the work rate will. Yarde's been brought a long terribly he won't be prepared for what AB brings.

    Think Yardecis going to see another level to Boxing that he hasn't witnessed or realises exists yet.
    I do give Yarde a punchers chance cos he has got Power and AB is hittable but Artur is up there with Elites and that is down to his elite level strength, power, brutality and level of boxing experience.

    Gonna upset Spencer Fearon and predict a AB stoppage within 6 rds

    Until the day every person on earth is coffee-coloured, racial bias will always be a thing. And even then national or regional bias will still continue. My dad played a lot of pub football in the 70s and people representing different pubs would hate each other. We're talking 22 people who look almost the same and come from the same town. It's just human nature. The other day someone asked me my favourite 5 bodybuilders and I named 3 white, 1 black and 1 middle-eastern guy, without even realising it. It would probably be the same if you asked me my favourite 5 boxers. So long as it doesn't creep into outright racism I don't really care, and attempts to quash it result in this creepy anti-racism **** that various governments and groups have been pushing recently

    All of that said, even though I think Yarde has a good chance in this one, Spencer's comments are still complete cap, Beterbiev is far more technical than some people suggest and this glass-cannon narrative needs to die too. I was hearing it before the Smith fight
