Comments Thread For: Anthony Yarde Returns With Win, Gets Two-Round Stoppage In Spain

Commissions and matchmaking like this is what gets people killed in the ring.

This is true.

Fair enough if you want 1 in the win column but you shouldn’t be putting a world title challenger who hits very hard against someone who - yes, fair play they have the courage to get in the ring - but they’re s.hit and they’ll be getting paid in chocolate buttons.

How much of a cheapskate is Frank Warren that he pulls a move like this. At least he went for a real journeyman and not a bum with a padded record headlining the Brentwood centre.

From what I’ve seen, this wasn’t a Queensbury show.

I don't get this. Why not choose just a below-average fighter?

Choosing a complete bum makes no sense unless Yarde has lost all his confidence. He actually did well against (an old) Kov. Should have given him a lot of confidence.

Interesting fact : Yarde claims he was ready to continue but was stopped by the ref. If you watch the fight - you will see the camera never shows what happens - you only him falling back down again after its been stopped

4-49??
That is insane that the man is granted a license to box.
I actually liked Yarde but I have no respect for selecting a fighter like this by the promoter, manager, or the fighter.
Disturbing to say the least.
More losses than most boxers number of fights.
And I thought the UK commissions were run better than this.

Wtf is this chit,,, yarde is a joke for this hope he never sees a title

[Stevekrazy]

Liam Smith did the same exact thing before defeating Liam Williams twice, it’s nothing to look deep into

[BamBamMurphy]

Funny how Frank never mentioned this fight in his multiple interviews at the Dubois vs Joyce press conference, he was asked about Yarde fighting on the ppv a couple of times and quickly changed the subject.....Yarde needs to leave him and Tunde asap or his career is over

Zurdo is such a hypejob, if he withdraws from this to face anyone but a champ he deserves to be ridiculed the rest of his career as the lifelong cherrypicking clown he has become. And Yarde should be ashamed of himself for such a pathetic move. The WBO are some complete clowns for allowing their rules to be gamed like this.

Zurdo is trying to get out of his contract with Top Rank to get to DAZN, So his out WBO should order Maxim Vlasov vs Joe Smith & Eleider Alvarez vs Anthony Yarde winners fight each other for the belt
