Boxers going in on Tunde on Twitter

Holy f#ck. Didnt see that. "Lion is in the f#cking ring now b^tch & needs some pointers & guidance." Unlike most I think Tunde is doing some sh^t right & being innovative, but then he seems to have some massive basic holes in his approach like this thats holding back his fighter from achieving bigger things. I think most people gave him credit because he basically brought Yarde up from scratch. But two people were exposed on Saturday for being inexperienced, Yarde and Tunde corner work, which was non-existent. That is why Tunde is getting a lot of heat from ex-pros. Tunde really showed his inexperience at the world stage level.

I like Yarde, but I can understand why some boxers are having a go at Tunde. Tunde was throwing shade at them in the build up, so it was always going to happen. I think Tunde himself was expecting this sort of backlash. People actually now feel sorry moreso for Yarde, because he fought his heart out. The fact that Tunde didn’t give him any sort of meaningful cornerman advice in between rounds was shocking. Tunde’s level was kinda exposed for the world to see. I compare him to Ben Davison who trainer Fury for the Wilder fight, he was animated in the corner, his instructions were quite clear for Tyson, even when he thinks Wilder is hurt do NOT engage him. Tunde was more trying to motivate a wounded, tired young and inexperienced lion.

You mean screaming "Lions in the camp" isn't giving good advice? :lol1::lol1::lol1:

Tunde has done a good job. It's Warren who has failed to provide Yarde with the correct fights to get him the experience he needed at this level. I’d agree with that, but i think also it shows how rubbish the rankings are that a guy can become mandatory by fighting journeymen. Warren certainly should’ve matched him tougher on the way up, but then i’m sure they took into account that he never had any amateur experience, which is why he had been fed a load of easy fights early on. It’s difficult really. You can’t really rush a guy to tough fights without that amateur experience but at the same time you might not want to give up the mandatory spot, you may never get another chance. As for Tunde, it’s fair enough to blame him for flaws that are maybe caused by lack of proper training techniques, but at the same time you can say he’s just trained a really green fighter with no real background to go 11 rounds with Kovalev, almost stopping him at once point. It can be looked at two ways.

Anyway PLEASE CONTINUE THE #HATETUNDE CAMPAIGN I’m sitting here eating my Häagen-Dazs loving it �� https://t.co/Hvjqg1S5ve— Tunde Ajayi (@tundeajayi999) August 26, 2019 Sounds about right instead of eating a kobe steak like a man and reviewing the fight for future improvements he's sitting there like a fat dickhead crying into his empty haagen dazs whispering "lions in the camp"

Look at the difference between Mcgirt and Tunde. Mcgirt was giving good advice and actually warned Kovelev that he would pull him out after the 8th round if he kept taking big shots. I have no clue what Tunde was doing but it certainly wasnt giving advice You mean screaming "Lions in the camp" isn't giving good advice?

Tunde did everything right except let Yarde out of the cage.

This is the exact reason why I think Yarde needs to fire Tunde, it’s not the pre fight boasting or talk, I mean Buddy gave Kovalev a good corner talk, warned him am pulling you out if you take a beating in the next round. That woke Kovalev up, am sure he really wasn’t going to pull Kovalev out, but Kovalev wasn’t going to take that chance, since we all knew Buddy is capable of doing so. Yarde ask his corner what to do about Kovalev’s jab after that 9th round, the reply was “Lions in the camp!”.... Tunde is a motivational speaker, that I help get you through fighting South American cab drivers but at this sort of level it would get you KTFO. Yarde should have been pulled out at the end of the 10th round. Tunde didn’t even see the warning signs, he still sent him out for the 11th round claiming he never seen him tired... ok mate. The purpose of this thread was to highlight people from within the boxing world who have gone in on Tunde. I presume someone like Kevin Mitchell or Carl Frampton has a more sophisticated view on things than most of us on this forum. I have to respond to your post, though, because it seems obvious now, after watching Tunde's two post-fight interviews, that Tunde is in over his head. If he was coaching in my gym, I'd change gyms. "Gotta be positive, gotta stay focussed..." yeah yeah, more important than that is you GOTTA BE REALISTIC. No good sending your guy into a gun-fight with a knife, saying, 'Turn up, throw up, fuuck up' or whatever his mantra is Sadly, I think Tunde's response to this defeat may well be to double-down. I fear we may be hearing, 'Lions in the camp!' twice as often from now on

:lol1: I pray that's true that is ****ing hilarious This was actually true, another TV mic picked this up.

Yarde did well. Lost, did well.Tunde though....if you love your man as you say, you would have pulled him out after 10. But when you've talked in the build up, seems you lose the ability to make a sensible decision. His system failed, he failed. Not Yarde's fault though, credit— Martin (@NewAgeBoxingUK) August 24, 2019 He’s done very well to take Yarde from a novice to elite world level so he’s done something right, but to shout motivation in the corner instead of tactics is madness to me, it’s elite level not a white collar fight ����*♂️ https://t.co/cgOIHrNAuO— Anthony Fowler (@afowler06) August 25, 2019 This is the exact reason why I think Yarde needs to fire Tunde, it’s not the pre fight boasting or talk, I mean Buddy gave Kovalev a good corner talk, warned him am pulling you out if you take a beating in the next round.

The issue yarde has is, all the tippy teapot padwork seriously doesn’t work on fight night,it’s like a dance routine the more you practice it you’ll perfect itAny time kov throw a second and third punch it generally landed becatanthony could block it.Great effort back to gym— Billy Nelson (@BillyNelsonBox) August 24, 2019

Fellas, whatever you do, don't go on Tunde Ajayi's account and dare to respectfully criticise him for his lackluster cornerwork in this fight. He blocks you IMMEDIATELY. ������— Jay Riley (@JayRile93831785) August 26, 2019

You never fought more than 8 rounds. You dont spar. You use a shoulder roll defense horribly. You are flat footed. You block jabs with your face. You have very poor conditioning. Lets go to Russia and fight a seasoned World champion who has been in with the very best. Lions in the camp! I'd argue he doesn't even USE the shoulder roll defense. He just uses the stance.

Why does he need a new trainer because he lost to an ATG LHW in just his 18th pro fight? I'd like to see a few tweaks his footwork and foot placement is pretty abysmal and novicey, he doesn't really much of a jab either but he's still young with time on his side. I don't feel Tunde or whatever has done a bad job at all, they can take a lot away from tonight and come again. Kovalev maybe old and not as dynamic as he once was but he's a lot smarter and still a bad mofo Classic case of kicking a guy when he's down He needs a new trainer because all of the things you mentioned, Tunde doesn't teach. Instead he tells him how great he is and how tired his opponent is.

If only more people in British boxing had come out and said this BEFORE tonight. Tunde is a weapon who is very bad for boxing. What were they waiting for? a lot of us on here were saying it, but you had ******s like BangEM calling us haters for saying anything logical against a British fighter.

He’s done very well to take Yarde from a novice to elite world level so he’s done something right, but to shout motivation in the corner instead of tactics is madness to me, it’s elite level not a white collar fight ����*♂️ https://t.co/cgOIHrNAuO— Anthony Fowler (@afowler06) August 25, 2019
