Nice performance from Yarde.

Good opponent for him at this stage of his career and stopped a guy who had never been stopped before.

Nice performance from Yarde.

He was a career super middleweight though. I do agree it was a good performance against the best he has faced so far

Those fights against bigger and better guys will come next year.

Nice. Maybe next time he can fight a durable fighter in his prime, and from the same weight class. Looked to be breathing through his mouth from early on but fight didn't last long enough for it to become a factor.

Losing to good fighters doesn't make someone a good fighter, lol. Who has Seal-Okocha actually beaten?

This was a nice opponent at this stage of Yarde's career but yeah those guys will come next year.

Yarde is still learning but he showed some good things tonight.

Good composure from Yarde, a better opponent but still nowhere near world class. Great solid finish and amazing punch picking. Looking forward to a decent step up in the future. at his current rate he'll be a mandatory for like of Kovalev, but looking at tonight I think he would have been knocked out letting punches like that land.

Man i cannot keep up with all these belts.
is there a WBC, IBF version of this belt in addition to WBO European light heavyweight title ?

Time was when all you had was a European title not all this alphabet soups...

Pretty soon we are going to be seeing a WBO British Title ....

Got hit a lot tonight, looked disappointed by that tonight. I think I need to relax my rating of Yarde, maybe he isn’t ready yet.
