In total Anthony Yarde has had just 30 fights in his life.

Either way it's the ultimate cash-out. His purse given who he has fought thus far is remarkable.

Damn, I like the kid and hoping he pulls it off but he might get seriously hurt here.

Been looking at Yarde's record again. It's even weaker than i thought. Averlant, destroyed by Buatsi in a round. Szek, destroyed in 2 rounds in his next fight.

Those were his best wins. If Kovalev is up for this, Yarde is in serious trouble.

Jeff Horn was an Olympian in 2012...reaching the quarters.

Okay...? Still didn't have a significant amount of amateur fights and 2012 would have been his 20's. So...?

To be fair, Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn had an even lesser lifetime resume, turning pro in his 20's if I recall and single digit amateur fights. He would go on to beat four legends, effectively retiring three of them. So it can happen.

Horn is lousy fighter. You might be his only American fan. You just love and are constantly bragging on him. He is a dirty fighter and an arrogant bragger who thinks he is so much better than he is. Pac beat him by a mile even though Horn used dirty illegal tactics without even a warning from the ref. The so called win over Pac was a huge robbery no matter how many times you claiim it was the correct decisions. The reason you hate the neutral computer punch count is because it shows Pac landed over twice as many punches as Horn. You don't need a computer for that. Anyone with with eyes and a brain could see Pacquiao landed a hell of a lot more clean effective punches than Horn. Horn only wins if you give him extra credit for headlocks, choke holds, head butts, elbows, holding and hitting, tripping etc. Horn was slaughtered by Crawford. He beat a washed up Mundine who was in his late 40s. You say he beat 4 legends and that's nuts. What other three legends are you talking about????He beat one legend in Pac and that was by home country robbery. Horn stinks and he always will stink. He will never be a champion again because no champion will ever again fight him in his back yard. Horn's next fight is with a guy ranked 50th by boxrec so he will win that fight. He is just a fringe contender with a big mouth who had his moment of fame with the Pac robbery and is on the way out.

I hope he wins because it's going to change a lot of things.

Well he did win a few rounds. If Kovalev was a few years younger Yarde would not have won a single round. The light heavyweights are strong. Way too strong for Yarde. Kovalev was probably the easiest champ to beat and he didn't even come close to beating him, If you are looking for a future UK champ it won't be Yarde. He is not good enough and never will be.

[tonysoprano]

Kovalev in his prime would have damn near murdered Yarde. The fact it went 11 tells you everything about Kov's decline now.

Nah if it was a cash out he'd have taken Canelo's million dollars to step aside then try and angle the winner of Kovalev/Canelo.

[VatoMulatto]

Kovalev was too much but Yarde did have his moments. Round 8 was a big one....

A lot of people turn pro in their 20s lol...and

"As a relative newcomer to the sport, Horn won his first Australian title in 2009 and repeated the feat in 2011. He went on to win a silver medal at the Gee-Bee Tournament in Helsinki and compete at the 2011 AIBA World Boxing Championships in Baku where he lost to eventual champion Everton Lopes in the second round. In 2012, he picked up his third Australian title and first Oceania title to earn a spot at the London Olympics."

"Horn made his professional debut in Altona North, Victoria, Australia on 1 March 2013"

How can you believe that he had single digit amateur fights? He was a great, accomplished amateur and fought for 4 years... If you are a fan of his, you should tout that...it's impressive.

You can deny facts all you want. Everything I said is in the history books bro. And "At the end of the day", that's what matters.

You literally said he had single digit amateur fights...those are not facts man lol...just trying to help ya out bud I know you like Horn but saying crazy stuff like that just makes people view everything you say with skepticism and I've seen you have some decent posts on here before.
