Tunde Ajayi: Andre Ward Does not Have Anthony Yarde's Skillset

Weren't you one of the cats criticizing Horn for "going straight to world class level without having any step up fight" when he got the Pacquiao fight? Dude just say, you like it as long as it's not your favored fighter on the other side. Huh? When did I say that? Spoiler alert, I never said that. No, in fact I'm the guy that wants the Lopez/Lomachenko fight even though Lopez is untested. I want Lopez to get one top 5ish win at LW of course, but I want that fight by late this year early next year. I've been pushing for Davis to fight Lomachenko for a while and think it will be competitive. I'm all for these youngsters testing themselves against the top elite fighters. I've used Mayweather as an example, but who exactly did he beat before he fought Hernandez? And Hernandez was a proud 130 pound champion that had never lost at that weight class. Yarde and his team are talking big trash and either they look like geniuses or will end up getting embarrassed, I like that. There is no in between here unless Yarde competes well and ends up losing a tight decision. But I don't see that. I see either he stops Kovalev or he himself gets KTFO.

its not too hard to outbox froch doe. almost everyone did it at least for the first half of the fight. second half he usually had great success but ward limited that with his wrestling tacitcs. dawson was obviously a zombie. ward beat him at the negotiating table just like the super six tourney. "Chad weighed 182 pounds, good, 14 pounds to lose in nine weeks. Fast forward to Aug 13. Chad weighed 184 and he had been running six days a week. When I saw that, I called and said, 'We should cancel this fight.' So salty. Are you mad ward beat how many p4p top 5 fighters or that he fought them? I can't tell! how many fighters outside of ww can you name in the past 10 years since ward retired who did the same? None. Thank you.

The judges had it correct, there was no reason for them to bias towards froch either. Ward deserved the win but it was a razor thin decision. Froch didn't figure ward out. Froch fought hard but no way he outsmarted ward in the fight.

Tunde should've been born a Eubank! :lol1: I think he is entertaining and funny, some of you guys are taking this man way too serious. Of course I disagree with him as far as this comment goes BUT I respect the confidence that he has in his fighter. If Yarde heads down to Russia and beats Kovalev you guys are really going to hate him :lol1:

Tunde or whatever the yes-mans name is is an embarrassing attention whore. Ever seen Yarde anywhere without at least 30 men dangling from his ass? Me neither. Yes-men in the camp! Yes-men in the camp!

Yarde more skilled than Ward? Ward is an Olympic gold medalist & Yarde didn't lace up a pair of gloves until he was 19. What is this guy smoking? A lot of weed

Tunde has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way it seems Don’t do drugs kids. https://t.co/Tqk7bx3nfC— Michael Conlan (@mickconlan11) April 17, 2019

I'm not sure too many people want to watch an hour long interview with Ajayi, but anyway :

"Damned little holding" lol. He was glued onto Froch like a limped. Hey, how did you score Kov 1 ? What fight were you watching? There absolutely has been Ward fights where he was guilty of excessive holding but the Froch fight wasn’t one of them. Didn’t see anything in that fight that led me to believe that Froch could ever come anywhere close to beating Ward. Ward/Kov 1? 115-112 Kov

That totally out classed your hero Froch with damned little holding and ZERO fouling. "Damned little holding" lol. He was glued onto Froch like a limped. Hey, how did you score Kov 1 ?

The Kessler an Kovalev fights stand as the epitome of that "style"... but he out-boxed Carl and Sad-Chad as well, doe... its not too hard to outbox froch doe. almost everyone did it at least for the first half of the fight. second half he usually had great success but ward limited that with his wrestling tacitcs. dawson was obviously a zombie. ward beat him at the negotiating table just like the super six tourney.

Yarde has no skillset whatsoever. He makes Wilder look like Lomachenko.

he fought in an inverted wrestling stance. he called his right hand the grabber The Kessler an Kovalev fights stand as the epitome of that "style"... but he out-boxed Carl and Sad-Chad as well, doe...

Ward was one of the most intriguing personas in the boxing history: all his career he fought in an inverted southpaw stance with only one hand -- namely his left hand... and these require good skillset and intelligence... he fought in an inverted wrestling stance. he called his right hand the grabber

I believe that Yarde is a harder hitter than Ward. And that’s all.
