Yarde needs to sack his trainer. They kept telling him he was winning that fight, when he patently wasn’t. Tbf I had it even going into the last round, which Yarde obvs won, but I wouldn’t argue with the 2x 115/114 cards, as it was that kind of extremely close fight. The fella who had Yarde by 6, GTFO, another clueless judge exposed. All Yarde needed to do, was to push onto him, get within range and unload his hands, as he showed in the last, he had the power to really hurt him, and would have ended the fight early on, if he’d have been braver. He showed Arthur way too much respect, and got out jabbed, same as last weeks main event. I can’t believe his trainer allows him to not spar ffs. I mean how the **** can you attempt to be a World level fighter if you never spar? It’s like an F1 driver turning up at a GP with his only training being on the PlayStation ffs. Ridiculous, and explains why they spent every round blowing smoke up his arse, instead of when he was obvs behind mid fight, telling him to get close, take a couple getting in if you have to, but get inside and smash him up. Arthur doesn’t need that rematch btw, he can get a title fight, **** Yarde. A bad 2 weekends to Frank Warren, 2 of this golden tickets getting gubbed by solid jabbing domestic level fighters. Bad match ups for the pair of them. Hearn must have spent the last week laughing his cock off.
Yeah, I didn't buy that crap about his right hand, either. There were a few people posting on Twatter about him injuring it in the warm-up before the fight and he clearly didn't want to use it. No point in pointing out a weakness to your potential opponents though, I guess. Yarde's corner suddenly spotting it after the BT commentators did was distasteful, too. Not sure what you can do about something like that though or even if you should do anything.
All 4 fighters are in Queensberry’s Stable so I’d imagine he’ll just change the strategy up. Dubois could take some fixing like. Can’t see his name being worth much for a long while.
Warren read out the consultants diagnosis of his injury last night, pretty horrific tbf. It’ll take him a long while to come back from that, both physically and mentally.
TBF I reckon Fury bring him more money in than the rest combined. 2 fights next year with AJ and Frank will hand the business over to Francis I’d imagine.
Yeah without doubt, but the 2 that have been beaten in the last 8 days, were on the cusp of big world level fights, and in terms of their careers, and the dosh for both fighter and promoter, both match ups were a **** up.
Yeah I think Yarde v Arthur 2 happens with fans, it can’t main event though with fans cos nobody will pay to watch that crap as a headline. Frank seems to lose a lot of his stable at the wrong times as well, Kell Brook, Josh Warrington and BJS, being prime examples.
Yarde and Dubois were the fighters with the most buzz around them so I bet he is really pissed. Both Joyce and Arthur seems like sensible and well mannered guys from the interviews I have seen - given the negativity around AJ for being the same, it will be interesting how they will be perceived.
Did anyone watch Spence vs Garcia? Seemed like a one sided win for Spence which is amazing given the crash he was in.
I think he just needs to get his head down and see what happens now, get out of the spotlight for a year or two.
Could still happen though - having a perceived vulnerability means that you are more likely to get fights. Can see Dubois being perceived as an easy fight for a champion only to do what Ruiz did.
