See, as far as I'm concerned , this is the problem. I like Yarde, and I think he'll go a long way. I also agree with Warren's handling of him in the sense that when he gets there, he wants to dominate , meaning It's probably too early.
My problem is that with " Warren Boxing Organisation" (WBO) , he's ranked no.2 . Now if you're ranked no.2 , then you should be ready and prepared to fight the Champ. Only the Mandatory (if there is one) and the No.1 should legitimately be above him in the pecking order.
If you're not ready or willing to fight for the title, then you should be put down the rankings until you are ready. It's nothing against Yarde, it's just a ridiculous situation.
This just shows that the quality of fighters in the WBO Ranking system are poor.
