Comments Thread For: Yarde vs. Buatsi - Warren Responds To Hearn's Comments

[Marvlus Marv]

Some of these guys that Yarde fights barely look like fkn middleweights. Honestly, his level of opposition is farcical. And I mean no disrespect to those guys but Yarde needs to lose those arm bands.

I think BT have done a decent job of filling the Setanta void and I think BoxNation would be more successful as a free channel.

We live in golden times where some nights I have to record Channel 5, BT and Sky to make sure I don’t miss anything.

Yea, the networks are showing plenty boxing now but sadly the promoters are being protectionist ******s like never before. Thankfully Kalle is almost forcing them into putting up their fighters for the WBSS. It's the only hope we have of pairing off the champs, it seems.

[Fabes88]

that has only happened recently, before that you kinda forgot he even existed

No this is a while ago actually it was covering his first two/three pro fights. I’ve been following his career closely as he’s from my area and we have a few mutual friends.

Also, there's absolutely nothing to gain for Yarde to fight Buatsi or Burton...not one reason. Yarde is the WBO no 2 and thats the route he's going down to fight for a World Title.

Yarde vs Marcus Browne is the fight to make next year and the winner would be mandatory to fight Sergey Kovalev.

Hearn can't have it both ways either, he stopped Buglioni from fighting Yarde and also stopped Dave Allen from fighting Daniel Dubois on June 23rd.

You can't make excuses when Yarde himself was willing to fight Buatsi. It's just Frank ducking and dodging.

[LacedUp]

Clear as day Tunde and Frank don't feel Yarde is ready for these fights.

It is what it is.

Nobody should be hating on Yarde he needs to develop, the only mess up here is his ranking of no.2 in the WBO,

He should be ranked around 11 but anyway he needs 7 more fights IMO before taking on a 50/50.

He had 11 amateur fights so he can't learn the fundamentals to adjust to different styles with such a sort career.

Anyway a couple of southpaws, pressure fighters, counter punchers before stepping up.

Eddie Hearn has protected his LHW's just as much like i said the WBO no.2 ranking is a bit too high but he is undefeated with a high KO ratio so maybe that justifies the ranking.

I will be coming for that WBO European belt though so he better vacate it this next year.

There's nothing wrong with being called a SJW, been called one many times and its a badge of honour to me.

As a society, i just believe we need to take care of each other and help those that don't have a voice or are feeling displaced and life is getting too much for them. We have the means and capacity to make sure every human being on this earth can be looked after and they have the right to be what they want to be.

It's a scary time though, especially for young kids. Look at the ridiculous house prices nowadays...most kids will never be able to afford a house especially in areas like London. Also lower level jobs are not keeping up with inflation so those kids are going to be less better off then people were 30 years ago...that can't be right.

I grew up in Manchester and the rise of homelessness there in the past 20 years is scary and its only going to increase with less affordable housing stock being produced.

Also, i don't judge people on race, religion, looks or wealth...they are all my brothers and sisters. I'm not nationalist, patriotic or give two hoots about what status people have.

Oh yeah Setanta was great, its a shame that didn't work out.

Kids cant really complain in England. Education and Hard work is the key to success. Everyone is entitled to free
Edcuation in England from 3-18. Put the Hard work in and get the grades for the best uni's and you will already be guranteeed a good starting salary. As long as the hard work is still their, 10-15 Years you will be able to get a house. The difference is in the 90's you only needed a Maximum of 10 Years to be able to buy a house, now it's a minimum but that's due to Economic Inflationw

Yarde is never going to fight anyone before a world title shot is he?

God knows how you go from fighting Eastern European shoe salesman to Kovalev.

He is being brought along like a Gary Lockett, Michael Jennings type fighter from the 00’s.

I can’t see how it helps him. Doesn’t help the overmatched no hopers he he fights

[rudy]

Warren totally owned Hearn here by saying why doesn't Hearn match Buatsi with Hosea Burton.

Well, why isn't that fight being made if Buatsi is so good?

Buatsi vs Burton and the winner fights Callum Johnson.

Perfect couple of fights and then the Winner would get a Top 10 Ranking and be on course for a World Title Shot.

Hearn needs to focus on his own fighters rather then worrying about other fighters...especially getting his fighters like Dillian Whyte home advantage in a 50-50 fight against Pulev rather then having to travel to Bulgaria, which pretty much gives victory to Pulev.

Well said

Exactly. It's one thing saying he needs to learn, but Warren is putting him in with guys he can learn nothing from.

If he's not ready to mix it at domestic level right now then how the hell is he going to be a world champion of any worth?
