    The low spot was when [prospect] Junior Saba left. I was effectively his ‘dad’ from the age of 11. After, I was so upset I applied to Uber to be a minicab driver — only for Yarde to walk into our gym.

    From this article, a lot of people didn't know that Tunde was about to quit boxing and become a cab driver, he even applied for his UBER license. Interesting, maybe that's how they found so many cab drivers for Yarde to fight lol. Anyway if Yarde loses to Kovalev on Saturday night will the master genius become the UBER driver?

    If Yarde looks impressive in defeat then he'll be like Callum Johnson. He's another contender. In fact when Yarde loses I'd quite like to see him fight Johnson

    Yes Yarde will likely continue on, but I'm talking about the TA. When Tunde was the trainer of Akaash Bhatia, as soon as he had his first loss they both parted ways. Even though Tunde talks so highly of Yarde, if he has his first loss, then Tunde's history shows that he could part ways with him.

    How much respect will the forum give Yarde if he gets through Kovalev?

    Would it propel him into the stratosphere ahead of Buatsi by several levels?

    Seems like they're making a killing financially. So unless something happens between now and saturday night that prevents the whole thing from taking place, they're in a win/win situation.

    It should do really - it would be an incredible feat. I'm supporting him this weekend and have got a strange feeling he could do it. Can't let it go to points though - doubt it will.

    I spoke with Lyft driver yesterday while coming back from the airport ,he is licenced to drive in nyc and according to him he drives about 60 hours per week and after all expenses takes home $1600-1800 , so it’s not that bad.

    My suspicion is that this is a Jerry Cooney situation where a "kill the goose that lays the egg" type manager sacrifices a prospect to make a quick buck. What will Tunde do after Yarde? If it's an unlikely win he'll just hype him up more and sacrifice him to Canelo (whose looking for a low hanging light heavy belt holder to pad his record with), if he gets brutally KO'd I don't think anyone in their right mind would ever associate with him again. Then again, Panama Lewis was still getting gigs as a trainer after the whole Resto thing so I may be wrong, you know what they say "there's a sucker born every minute".
