so your only world level if you win a fight? ok bud
Well you have to prove it first yeah. Don’t get me wrong he did well tonight but he’s been stopped 3 times now twice by men nearly 40 years old. He’s got to go back and rebuild slightly, he domestic level for the time being because no one’s looking like they are beating the other 2 any time soon.

and who were two of those nearly 40 year old men? some of the best Pound 4 pound boxers going :o
 
only disappointment i had in yarde is that when biev was throwing heavy shots at yarde in the corners yarde didnt spin out of the corner, he spent too long just leaning against the corner

I guess it's not as easy as it looks. Plus the damage from the shots accumulate and if your footwork isn't elite level then you have no chance against somsone like 'biev, especially with the pressure he applies.
 
Taylor Serrano was pretty good, Wood / Conlon, Fury Wilder 3.
That fight was decent and Yarde had a big heart but I don't think he has the brain or skills to really mix it at the top level. I just feel it's a bit over the top to "big him up" too much on what we've seen. At world level he's lost to two aging pro's and it's not like he's 25 and inexperienced. Don't get me wrong I think he did well but a loss is loss and I don't think Beterbiev was ever on the brink.
Yeah, to be fair I do think I was getting carried away to some extent, however it was more due to Yarde being able to keep 'biev honest for so long.

It was still a great fight, superb stuff. As I've said a couple of times, even 'biev said it himself, he was expecting to get caught and he did get caught but never looked troubled (I guess a great fight is when it's top notch boxing and both fighters look troubled at times), I'll have to watch it again to see but due to how good 'biev is and that Yarde was able to put up a good fight, I still maintain that it's up there with the top, top fights in recent times. Electric.

'biev to do it at 38 as well, great performance.
