Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev vs. Anthony Yarde is Ordered By WBO

It's not about how good is Yarde, it's about how much Kovalev has slipped. 32 year old Krusher would have walked through this guy.

Yarde! Don't be a coward now you are getting your wish. Kovalev is now an old man but hopefully will throw everything he has at you then we will see if you are just a hype job or the real deal.

Yarde’s first live body and it’s Krusher lol

RIP

Right Better put the mortgage on Kova by stoppage

Hopefully Yarde's training focus will switch from power to technique for this fight and from now on. He's still very raw in that regard, and I don't think he can simply bulldoze Kovalev or any of the other champs in the division. I'm hoping otherwise, but prepared to see Yarde's bubble burst by Kovalev.

I still don't know why does this have to happen.

[MDPopescu]

Yarde has never fought anyone close to Kovalev's level before nor has he put on any performances in the ring that would suggest he can beat someone like Kovalev, so it's hard to pick him to win. However, it's boxing and Yarde can definitely crack. Make the fight happen and let's see what Yarde is made of.

... not only that: he never fought anyone of notice... he was never scheduled for a twelve rounder and never stayed more than five rounds in the ring...

What will the pull-out excuse be? I'll go with flu.

[sammybee]

Yarde won't go beyond 6 rounds.

Kova by KO.

and this new Kovalev under Buddy McGirt can drag Yarde out into deep waters
