Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: Yarde on The Brink of Breaking Into The Big Time

[GlassJoey]

Didn’t this guy say Team Yarde already turned down this fight once.

A tenner on him to beat Yarde returns £170. That alone and just that nagging doubt makes me take that bet.

I hope I’m wrong though. I hope Yarde is a beast but his career so far confuses me.

I wouldn’t mind if they weren’t trying to position him as a mandatory for Kovalev. I just don’t get that. If he did end up there with Kova I can’t really fathom how he wouldn’t get knocked out. Completely by passing British, Commonwealth and European levels and then taking one on the chin by Kovalev? Doesn’t add up

I picture him waiting for Kov to be 40 before fighting him but somehow gets a vacant WBO title along the way. Hopefully he steps up, I think he should avoid Buatsi though

Doesn't surprise me, Frank isn't a good promoter in that sense. Wasnt Brook with Frank for like 7 years and he was still pretty much unknown?

Yep. Just look at all the ??? that Brook fought for proof at a time when the division was red hot. I'll always know Frank as the guy that managed Eubank Sr to crap fight after crap fight when Sky had Eubank on a 10 fight deal in the 90s.
