Yarde: A Potential Candidate for the Terrible Mandible Team??

Not sure if being flatlined by Kovalev is a great indicator of a glass jaw. Lol But Yarde is going to be in over his head and he’ll know that within the first two minutes of the first round.

As Emanuel Steward said before the first Peter fight... “Welcome to big time boxing.”

 

I believe he is,

I don't think it's a coincidence they wouldnt let him near any sort of puncher up until now.

Also another thing that rings alarm bells is Tunde not really allowing hard sparring, also he won't let Yarde spar any possible future opponents, so that's no top level Super middleweights, Light Heavyweights or Cruiserweights.

So that doesn't leave much, there are just too many question marks and tonight we will find out what sort of chin he has.

That said, if Yarde is smashed to pieces then they'll say "it's Kovalev, one of the hardest punchers around" so we will need to see Yarde fight a top level opponent who isn't a big puncher and then we will get a better idea.

 

Hedging your bet?

 

Getting stopped by Kovalev doesn't prove anything about a fighters chin other than its not granite.

 

Man, are you still making these stupid chin checker threads? How many years now? I was hoping you were all grown up now, had a job, wife and kids and had grown out of this juvenile stuff....

 

Most fighters can take a punch, very few of them have shaky chins. Any fighter can get KOd, even the ones with good chins. Because there are many other factors for a fighter to get KOd other than having a glass chin.

Yarde might have a bad chin, might have a good chin. Even if his chin was good, he’s still likely to get KOd by Kovalev who has tremendous power and skillset.

You’re an moron.

 

Anything is possible, just line Aj proved me totally wrong China. Until Yarde proves what he's about is all guessing

 

Bull****. Just off top of my head, George Foreman, Joe Fraizer, Evander Holyfield ,Ray Mercer, and from recent fighters Pacquaio, Tomasz Adamek, Marco Huck, Povetkin, Lebedev, Wlodarczyk have been KOd and they all have/had good chins. Hell, even James Toney, who had one of the greatest chins in the history of the sport hit the canvas several.

Pretending like defence, positioning, timing, conditioning all other factors that lead a fighter to get KOd don’t exist, the only denier here is you, loser.

You don’t know **** about chins, you don’t know **** about boxing.

 

Better yet, Jean Pascal has a great chin, one of the best, yet he KOd by Kovalev twice. So unless Yarde gets KOd by a jab, a stoppage loss will not necessarily mean that his chin is glass.

 

There are definitely some who can't take as good of a shot as others.
But just recently Tabiti got labeled as glass jawed. And maybe he does have a shaky chin, but him stepping into Dorticos' right hand is not a good indicator. Dorticos is a known puncher and a somewhat fatigued Tabiti stepped into a perfect right hand.

Knockdowns happen because just about anyone can punch. Daniel Jacobs has been down quite a few times, yet only been stopped once. And someone made a good point about him not actually being out while down for the count.

This whole glass chin thing is disrespectful as ****. I don't get why boxing fans are such ****'s.

 

Anyone who thinks Alvarez and Ward can't punch are fools.

And I never agreed that glass jaws exist.
