I like Yarde. He looks strong.
Good for him but let’s skip the appetizer and get to the main course. Bivol – Bietrbiev should be next. Both guys are fresh in everyone’s mind. It’s a huge fight and a more compelling one than Crawford – Spence imo. It’s a master technician vs a real killer. Make it happen!
Well managed I could say that!!
