Yarde vs Ramirez

[Articulateboxin]

Money and availability most likely. Whoever is cheapest with least risk, in a situation like this, gets the nod...

People seem to forget, boxing is a business FIRST and I sport SECOND (sort of).

Of course it's a business, which is why this is a terrible decision and an awful fight. A wise business decision would have him in with a solid opponent, keeps him sharp and raises his credibility. Instead, it just further reinforces the meme that is Yarde's career handling to date.

Honest question, are you tunde ajayi?

[Eff Pandas]

Wut the f#ck. I dig Yarde, but wuts the point of fighting a guy that shouldn't even be his sparring partner at this stage? Is he THAT shook from his first L?

[Alan Smithee]

My point is , how good can Yarde be to dig so fughin low
But he gave Kovi a good fight
No
Kovi is a done fighter
Yarde won’t be long behind

I agree. Watching a few of Yarde's fights he looked pretty decent but this fight is comical. There are plenty of light heavyweight's with decent records who would be easy pickings. I blame the boxing commission in Spain. This opponent should have been rejected.
