Yarde vs Ramirez

My point is , how good can Yarde be to dig so fughin low But he gave Kovi a good fight No Kovi is a done fighter Yarde won’t be long behind I agree. Watching a few of Yarde's fights he looked pretty decent but this fight is comical. There are plenty of light heavyweight's with decent records who would be easy pickings. I blame the boxing commission in Spain. This opponent should have been rejected.

Money and availability most likely. Whoever is cheapest with least risk, in a situation like this, gets the nod... People seem to forget, boxing is a business FIRST and I sport SECOND (sort of). Of course it's a business, which is why this is a terrible decision and an awful fight. A wise business decision would have him in with a solid opponent, keeps him sharp and raises his credibility. Instead, it just further reinforces the meme that is Yarde's career handling to date. Honest question, are you tunde ajayi?

Even then His team has a lot of faith in him Another fighter who was hyped up cause he got a crack at Kovi Pure fughin bullchit Even if he gets the shot, I think Zurdo, Salamov, Vlasov etc all have a good shot to beat him. He essentially only had 1 good round against Kovalev. I’d rather see Yarde tested before fighting at world level again.

Lol!!!! Why does this comment keep getting ignored?? It's 100% accurate. This is literally a formality, so Frank can get him straight back in the alphabet mix. Probably also in Spain as the BBBoC wouldn't even licence it. My point is, this who discussion is moot.. but don't let that stop some good fighter bashing I guess lol It’s a BS matchup but it’s a means to an end. You can’t really blame them for exploiting the system.

Still why couldn't fight someone with at least 10 wins? Money and availability most likely. Whoever is cheapest with least risk, in a situation like this, gets the nod... People seem to forget, boxing is a business FIRST and I sport SECOND (sort of).

Still why couldn't he fight someone with at least 10 wins?

It’s so he can potentially fight for a vacant WBO title. Per their rules you can’t fight for a vacant title when coming off a loss, Liam Smith had to do something similar. Although they completely contradicted that rule with Cotto-Kamegai. Lol!!!! Why does this comment keep getting ignored?? It's 100% accurate.

I saw this on a boxing YT channel and I was thining what on earth?? Why would a boxer agree to this, it's terrible for credibility and just ridiculous. Even a guy with a barely winning record would be difficult to accept, but this? Classic fish eyes match making :dance:

There is a lot of good in boxing and unfortunately there is a lot of bad. It is inexcusable for a light heavyweight with an 18-1 record with 17 K.O's to be fighting an opponent who two fights ago fought at 160 and has a 4-48-3 record. Other then a confidence boost the Yarde camp is bragging about how the guy was only stopped 5 times in his career. What a joke!

Yarde turned pro against a guy 5-38-2. I believe the word is regression. You think But Kovi is not finished

****, maybe I'll fight Yarde next I’d actually think you have a chance of getting the fight Maybe not winning but fugh

Thought this was a troll thread but BoxRec has it down as an official fight, where did they even find a guy who's 4-48?? I get that Yarde probably needed a get back type of fight but this doesn't even qualify as that. I mean we still don't know how good or bad Yarde is.... his resume is a bunch of complete and utter no-hopers and a KO loss to Kovalev. That's why I laughed at people saying Kovalev took a dive against Canelo because he looked better against Yarde etc ....... I mean I would bet my house that Canelo would be undefeated with a 100% KO ratio against Yarde's opponents. Kovalev is done and has been done for quite some time I laugh when people point out the Yarde fight Canelo was just worried about getting caught that’s why the knockout came so late

WBO doesnt allow a fight for an eliminator coming off a loss. Liam Smith done the same when he lost to Canelo and wanted to fight Liam Williams for a WBO trinket. Likely Warren has Yarde fighting an eliminator next.

****, maybe I'll fight Yarde next

Lol. Kov the killa..
