Enlightened-One wrote: ↑18 Aug 2019, 09:42 I understand how the "Talent" is useless unless it’s proven…. And "potential" is useless unless it’s fulfilled!” argument applies to Yarde, because at some point or another, any fighter harbouring ambitions to becoming the best in their division has to eventually make a huge step-up in class.

That being said, Yarde's best victory came against Nikola Sjekloca, who was a career super-middleweight that had suffered several defeats to any half-decent world-rated 168lb-er he'd ever faced.

Anthony Yarde’s resume is littered with anonymous names, because not one single opponent he’s ever faced are included in any if the following ratings at 175lbs:

• ESPN/The RING divisional top-ten ratings
• The top-15 ratings of the WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO
• BoxRec top-fifty world ratings
• EBU top-15 European rankings
• Top-ten British ratings (as per Boxing Monthly)

It’s not simply a case of Yarde having lacking experience at world-level, because I’m not so sure he’s proven himself at domestic level against UK opposition.

Simply put, during his 3½ years as being a pro, the Brit hasn’t fought anyone possessing any sort of credibility whatsoever!

Yarde never achieved anything as an amateur either, which is understandable for any fighter that only ever competed in twelve bouts (spanning a five-year period) in the unpaid ranks.

On paper, a fight between Sergey Kovalev and Anthony Yarde, seems to be a complete mismatch!

I'll be shocked if the Brit somehow manages to score the upset.

All those words, mostly about random other fighters Yarde fought, and not one about what Yarde actually brings to the table regarding his skills.

You don't seem to understand that the corollary of 'He's a bit green' isn't 'he's definitely going to get knocked out'.

No question. Maybe in the first Rd.

The amount of crap you gave me and other forum posters for correctly predicting the outcome is surely something you must feel embarrassed about?

I wouldn't mind seeing him retire now on a high note. He looks vulnerable these days.

But seriously why do I see Russian fighters hiring American a-holes as trainers? Povetkin did it too and it cost him a lot in his career, and Kovalev's a-hole trainer tonight was anxious to stop the fight after round 8. I don't see any American fighters hiring Russian a-holes to be their trainers.

He was only trying to focus his fighter after a bad round.

And to be fair it worked perfectly

Easily.

If you’d read the amount of crap I received for predicting a win for Kovalev then you’d understand my gloating.

I received so much criticism from this fellow, with the same guy jumping down the throats of other forum posters for having the sheer audacity to expect the win for the Russian.

Take a look at the posts and you’ll surely appreciate the reason for my gloating.

We've all taken crap at one time or another here. Gloating over the 'popular' pick isn't impressive.
