Comments Thread For: Joe Smith Promoter Responds to Frank Warren, Questions His Confidence for Yarde's Mandatory Status

IMO yarde gets starched by either Beterbiev or Smith. I'm more concentrating on the Beterbiev/Smith fight right now.
Hopefully Smith can hang in there and start doing some damage early, although he'll definitely have his work cut out for him.

I picked Yarde over the crusher, but that was before I found out about Yardes training. I picked him because he's smart, but that can get in the way too. Maybe he's too smart. No sparring avoids damage in training, but then no recourse in a real fight. Practice makes perfect.

What makes you think Yarde is smart? I think he’s an absolute idiot
