Comments Thread For: Anthony Yarde Wins Big, Will Challenge For WBO European Next

Baby Steps NO RUSH! Maybe you allow him to step up against a Journeyman Veteran like Yunieski Gonzalez, Alexander Brand, Karo Murat. Want to see him get ROUNDS, would like to see him show he can Box for 10 Rounds if he has to or 12 Rounds before stepping up. KO streaks are nice for the dumb down casuals but he still need ROUNDS before stepping up!

All of those guy you have listed will stop this guy.
He is to me the black Canelo with half of the ability, he gets way to much press for fighting guys with absolutely no pulse at all.
The first time he steps up he get stopped or dominated, he's stopping his opponents now because they have no skill or ability.
He's got the look but not the ability, I don't know how he makes light heavyweight in the first place

I think Yarde has potential.
He only had around 12 amateur fights i think, with mostly knockouts. They struggled to match him up with willing opponents so he decided to go pro. He's 25 and on his 11th pro fight.
He's now challenging for a WBO European Belt next which if he wins and defends should get him a spot in the top 15 of WBO rankings. He has nice movement as well as power. I hope he picks up this version of a euro title and then keeps it for a bit and can develop just below the world title fringe level. I like this next move for him, good luck to him I hope he picks a version of the European title. Maybe he could unify with the EBU-EU champion after that (Serhiy Demchenko 18-11 37 years old) and then go after the proper titlist the EBU champion (Robert Stieglitz 51-5 35 years old) they would be good match ups for him plus a good route to a world title. This guy has amazing potential I and my boxing people are rooting for him.
