Seems to be coming along nicely..lots of power, fast jab..not that successful with the shoulder roll...who's next?

Potentially very exciting to see his progression. Long way to go, but they got the nickname right. He is a fucking beast!
His problem could be the massive gulf between THE domestic and European LHW division and the World stage. Difficult to judge how quickly they move him.
I'm interested to see who raps him out on his next ringwalk, if I was him I'd get dizzee rascal
The "Mayweather guard" looked very, very leaky last night against a powderpuff punching supermiddle. Yarde's size/power makes him a dangerous bredda, but he needs to avoid anyone with decent straight right hand.
Accident waiting to happen.
Early days yet but I think he will achieve great things unlike Debois.
It could take Ward coming out of retirement before Yarde is given a serious challenge.
Kovalev will own this division again now that Ward is gone..Kovalev will even get better.
Do not go overboard with Kov, you saw what a super middleweight Ward did to him now imagine what some of the other undefeated light heavy weights champions at the weight could do.Quote:

I like Yarde. Not quite the water tight defence but his offensive attributes are great. It'll do him good getting a few clumps in the chops now, you could see he didn't like it. He basically did what he wanted, fight was over as soon as he wanted it to be. Good performance.
I was thinking Beterbiev and Bivol not Badou Jack who may be too small.Quote:

Badou Jack too small for Yarde.
:coolclick:
I think he's developing nicely, stepping up gradually. Needs to work on that defense before attempting to tackle the elite of the division.
Tony Averlant is his next opponent, he can't crack an egg and amongst his several losses one was against Yarde's last victim (Sjekloca).
Team Yarde certainly ain't taking a flyer. For a geezer that is apparently too good for Hosea Burton they sure do like practicing against European journeymen.
The hype machine is definitely strong behind him but personally i see more flash than anything. I see him being successful but i dont see him reigning.
He is quality, he is our version of Roy Jones Jnr. :)Quote:

They needed to build on the momentum from the Sjekloca fight, this is going backwards if anything. Just keeping busy and padding the record.
