Lets talk about Anthony Yarde

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Yarde will go into acting in a year or 2 tops. He has the physique and muscularity and positivity to be an actor. I dont think he's willing to do more than his "90% boxing exercises" as he puts it. Where the fuck is the sparring? Gotta be the first time I ever heard that. WTF. and how he lost to Kovalev, that was his chance to make the next step up the ladder to better competition. He has a great chin. .... FFS he needs more rounds of sparring, plus he never went over 7 b4 the Kov fight. His mouth was open like a fish from the 5th round on. He took a hell of a beating from Kov. Reminds me of Maidana beating Broner.

Agree with most of that. (Fuck, did I just write that! 😂) I think it’s the usual story of Brits and his Promoter bigging him up before he achieved anything.
He had never fought anyone anywhere near World level prior to Kovalev , and although Kovalev is at the end of it, he still had too much ring knowledge for Yarde.
That’s why I thought he made a decent fist of it for how I rated him.
However, if someone is rating him as a World beater, they would’ve been disappointed.
