ayrmad Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 24 minutes ago, J_Stewart said: I'm really intrigued by it to, although it's more to see what sort of condition Kovalev arrives in. On his game he's been an elite level fighter for the last half-decade, but he's had a fair bit of legal trouble recently, including getting chucked off a flight for trying it on with a woman (that definitely wasn't his wife) whilst absolutely steaming, so could be that he isn't fully focussed. Might be that he's on his game and batters Yarde who, as you say, equally might be wildly out of his depth, or a guy on the up that'll dominate for years. So many unknowns and so much intrigue. Should be great. Can Yarde batter Kovalev if Kov is on his game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yarde needs to get at Kovalev on the inside. Kovalev has a mental collapse in him if he cant bully the guy across from him, and he has piss poor inside game. If Yarde has any at all then thats the way to beat Kov. You have to grind him out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Really intrigued by Kov Yarde. Is Yarde the real deal? As said, fought nobody but looks a beast. Is Kov over the hill now? In any event, fair fucks to Yarde for being game to go over and give it his best. I hope he wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, fair fucks to Yarde for being game to go over and give it his best. I hope he wins. I think Kovalev can still blast out those who fight his fight. The roadmap to beating him is there though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Yarde is the type of fighter to approach it that way. And for the record, Tunde Ajayi is very annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Ring walks just away to start. No real confidence in it, but stuck a tenner on a Yarde KO win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed this first time out, but not sure I agree with it. Andre Ward implemented this to perfection, but Andre Ward was the best fighter of his generation IMO, and I’m not convinced anyone else could have broken Kov’s heart and body like he did. Not sure it’s a fair statement to suggest it’s a tried and tested method of beating big Kov. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Kovalev looking decent so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 He does, and playing it fairly safe too. Doing a professional job on Yards who needs to change the pace and distance he's fighting at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I couldn't justify a round for Yarde here. But the 2nd half of round 7 was all Yards landing at will to the body. Massive round for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 4-3. This is interesting. But given this is in Russia they probably will give a complete shutout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
