Good fight and big step up for Yarde!

Why? Does Yarde have any fans in the UK? My impression is that he's pretty unpopular over there.

See. This is why you should’ve brought him along the traditional route, British, then European and eventually fight for a world. Instead you wanted to put him in against Latvian cab drivers for wbo belts which gave him a boost in his ranking now he’s ranked number 1 having faced nobody and has to fight kovalev. This fight will be delayed or Warren will pull him out. Especially if they can’t make it in the U.K.

He’s somewhat popular. We are just sick of the never ending list of bums he fights and excuses he comes up with for fighting these bums

Makes sense, called it 2 weeks ago. Kovalev vs Yarde, winner fights Zurdo. All Top Rank and Warren magic

I've seen a couple of his fights. Most of the time he's fighting at some small ass civic center type place.

I'm already picking to Upset in this one! I don't care about "Yarde Haven't Fought Nobody" "Yarde Haven't Been Tested" "Who Has He Fought" narrative. Every fighter was once that "He Is Unproven" fighter before! You instantly become a STAR when you do pull off the wins while people are doubting you.

Yarde chops Kovalev down to the body, he is a VICIOUS Body Puncher and well we know Kovalev can't take it to the body and he will be looking over to the Ref complain that shots are Low so that the Refs can disrupt his opponents body work. Yarde also is very slick and slippery, very good athlete so I think he can frustrate Kovalev and make him miss while getting on the inside and blasting him to the body



Not buying this "New Kovalev Under Buddy McGirt" BS, I still seen the seam weaknesses and still see stamina issues in which Alvarez for some strange reason did not take advantage of and wouldn't let his damn hands go at times

[pillowfists98]

Yarde has a glass chin. That's why he's only been matched with non punchers so far. Kovalev will destroy him.
