The WBO Inter-Continental light-heavyweight champion made a fifth successful defence of his crown on Saturday night. Yarde took on and defeated America's Travis Reeves inside five rounds at the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington, London, exclusively live on BT Sport.

He just needs to get a little older, right?

In fact the title might be interpreted as "Sergey Kovalev (is) shot, just around the corner"

Yarde isn't even remotely on Kovalevs level. His wide ass haymakers are perfect for Sergei....Yarde...lmao.

What gives here? Yarde's not even fought for the British, European or Commonwealth title yet. "Fi$h £yed" Frank will of course secure a WBO title fight, due to his dodgy connections. It's about time that the united nations stepped in here & investigated not only the WBO, but the WBA, WBC & IBF as well for criminal/financial investigation!..

Not sure if this guy is ready for kovalev or will be anytime soon. I've seen him fight a few times now and He doesn't seem like he's too sure about anything he's doing in the ring. Like he can't completely put it together. Nothing looks entirely natural.

Hopefully I'm wrong because if he's the real deal it's gonna make 175 even more interesting.

That fight isn’t happening next, just listen to their wording.

Another brit hype job signed Warren. This guy is so open to a straight right hand, it's not even funny. His footwork is horrible and he punches wide. Plus he starts gasping for air after 2 rounds. Kovalev would crush him in 3 ...

Mouth was wide open in this fight.

Kovalev would break bones here

Yarde really should fight some of the better British competition before stepping up. He's massive at the weight, but that's his best attribute and we don't know whether he's the goods until he actually fights someone with a pulse.

Seems like a cash-grab from Warren... not a good long-term strategy
