Tunde is probably the biggest weapon in British boxing, talks like he's 16 and with an arrogance his credentials don't merit, I like Yarde but he'd improve greatly by leaving Ajayi

didn't he say something like "i'm trying not to take it to the road" I'm not sure I'd fancy his chances vs pat barrett.
he said that in front of Barrett?
yeah, Tunde mustn't have done his due diligence
Hahaha exactly :)

Forgive me, but what does “i’m trying not to take it on the road” mean? What was the context? What didn't he want to take on the road? A 1960 Ford Anglia that he’s completed a total nut and bolt restoration on?

I didn’t actually know who he was until a year or so ago.

Remember seeing Pat Barrett a lot back in the day. I always heard how he dropped Richard ‘Ricky’ Hatton with a body shot in sparring in 94.

Just watched the press conference for Arthur Vs Yarde, Tunde seriously needs to check himself, his ego & pathetic effort at thinking he is so smart & cool, if he was a chocolate bar he would eat himself even though IMO he is out of date & still think he tastes the best the guy never did nothing has a boxer & has not done nothing has a trainer, and to my knowledge of people who know him done nothing “on road” of note either, why has it always got to be about him, it’s pure nonsense, why does Yarde put up with him ? What hold does he have over him ? It’s absolutely mind boggling tbh.
I don’t know him personally but have shared a changing room with him and he is arrogant, small man syndrome I would say, where has Pat who I’ve spent time in the gym with almost kid napped us to take such good care of us, went out his way every time, would feed you, make sure everything was ok, would really go out his way, not because he had to, but because he wanted too, genuine good man but a very capable & naughty man that was clear to see by those around him & when with him in his company & travelling around his city with him, no ego, nothing, just a decent guy, such a huge gulf in characters & attitudes, if anyone could share some light on this I would be grateful because I just don’t get it
I've just watched some of it and I thought Tunde had some fair points - Barrett wasn't punching anybody. And why was Barrett wearing that big coat and sunglasses inside?

Has Ajayi got any hard man/ fighting/ being a bit rough experience?

I was at an amateur show a few weeks ago and all the local bad boys had padded jackets on, it was t shirt weather..... must be a fashion. None had sunglasses on.

No idea. I think Barrett has a reputation far beyond being a bit rough.

Doesn't matter, our Tunde is a firm believer in the theory that 'if you speak it and believe it you shall recieve it' and with lions in his camp the blokes a savage.

Check out Rolly Romero's fur coat in 80F, for his recent presser with Tank Davis. A genuine plonker with
a Benny Blanco ( Carlito's Way ) fixation.
That’s the way I am. I don’t mind Yarde too much except that he’s a little deluded. I just dislike Tunde with a passion which makes me want to see Yarde lose.
He’s the male Shannon Courtenay then?
I prefer Yarde to Courtney but I dislike Tunde more than Courtney - at least she steps in the ring. Tunde talks like he’s the best ever trainer when in reality has he ever trained a fighter to a good win? He kept forgetting Yarde’s mouthpiece and didn’t figure out that it was close fight or that Arthur was only using his jab.
He also talks about himself in the 3rd person which Maverick23 really hates - particularly from people who aren’t credible.
I don't mind it with fighters - a lot of them do it and for very understandable reasons.
Agree as a trainer it's pathetic.

It's a Road Man thing, you see it all the time round South London, track suit bottoms and trainers, and a parka type jacket done right up to the top, in all kinds of weathers. Some of them have absolutely kicking BO.
I think it's party to make them hard to identify, because a lot of the people you see dressed like that are in a gang, or want to look like they are.

Definitely when I hear him talk I feel like doing a slow hand clap.

his kid was all show too, doing training clips and big talking videos, set for a debut, then never fought
even though IMO he is out of date & still think he tastes the best

he said that in front of Barrett?
