Comments Thread For: Yarde Confident He Will Be Ready For Alvarez-Kovalev Winner

[Ray*]

Yarde isn't Ricky Hatton by any stretch of the imagination he stays in the gym, doesn't party and doesn't smoke or anything else either the kid will surprise a lot of people when he beats the winner of Alvarez v Kovalev

He definitely isn’t Hatton, he doesn’t even want to fight anyone with a pulse. Latino cab drivers, Euro pizza delivery drivers. I would be shocked if he fights the winner next. Not in 2 years down the line when they are shop worn.

Lol Yarde is getting ready to get sparked out you mean. He is a sucker for straight and looping right hands when set up correctly. Unless he can improve that or has one of the best chins in boxing...he'll get knocked the **** out at the elite level.

That's funny because Yarde is yet to fight on world level. You know how he is going to fare already though right? It's yet to be seen if he can rise to the occasion but he's not a deluded Eubank Jr. type. The guy has a solid trainer and team and listens to their every word. Hardly Eubank Jr. mentality.

If you notice, I did say 'time will tell'.
So no I don't know how he will fare. Some guys just have glass chins. Some just aren't good enough for world level. Boxing is ruthless, a lot of fighters lose when they go up against the best, despite looking good beating up journeymen and part timers.
It's my personal feeling that Yarde will be one of the. Like I said, I could be wrong. That's rare though lol.

He needs to fight someone with a pulse who hits him back before he thinks about getting in with the top dogs. Has he actually been tested properly yet? You don't put someone in for a world title before they've had their chin checked and had at least one hard fight.

Brook did that before facing Porter and he did just fine.

No he didn’t actually. He had two very hard fights with Carson Jones, where he was cut and took a lot of punches too.
Yarde has barely even been hit with a full blooded shot on the chin yet, let alone had a testing fight.

Brook did that before facing Porter and he did just fine.

Brook also faced a former world champion in Senchenko a year before he fought Porter.
Get your facts right before you take me on pal lol.

One more reason you can't compare Brook and Yarde lol.
Brook was highly rated as an amateur from being a kid, and was always picked out to be a future star.
Yarde was a late starter with low amateur experience. Big difference.

Bum killing is bum killing, amateur experience or not.

The fact is he was WBA champion. He beat Malignaggi, who was still giving the likes of Broner a hard fight around that time. So he was fighting at a good level.
Brook beat a former world champion before he faced Porter. Yarde hasn't faced any former champions yet.
Brook also had two gut checks with Jones. Yarde again hasn't been in a fight where someone's actually fought back tested him.
These are indisputable facts, not just my opinions.
