Comments Thread For: Yarde: I Won't Be Fazed By Sergey Kovalev Fight, I'm Ready!

[Noelanthony]

He should go for it. Kovalev looks vulnerable to me. He fought VERY conservatively last time out and doesn't seem to have the same pop on his punches that he used to.

There's still a lot of name value in Kovalev though and it would help Yarde get some international exposure (assuming it gets the right airplay) because he's not really known outside the uk.

He is not really known in the U.K. either. No I can’t hate , I like him but his Mayweather impression on the pads is annoying . That and is LIONS IN THE DEN moniker drives me up the wall. His manager comes across as an absolute knob but I used to go to the peac#ock gym in Canning Town around 5 years ago and his manager used to dedicate his life to coaching the youth. A cool down to earth humble guy. Maybe money and a lens in front of your face ,changes people

... isn't this going to a purse bid?...

It seems so, yes. Buy one can always opt out of a purse bid...

Still favor Kovalev heavily Yarde has fought nobody yet.

Yarde will be too young, fresh, strong, fast, and food for kovalev. The whole “who had he fought” argument is rubbish. He will dispatch this version of kovalev inside 9 rounds

... and food for kovalev. ...

It could be that.

Yarde: I Won't Be Fazed By Sergey Kovalev Fight, I'm Ready!

... Of course he feels he's ready -- he stopped almost everybody before... But he never went more than 7 rounds in his career...

If Yarde wins it’ll make me doubt what I think I know about elite sport never mind boxing.

It’s like me joining the Tour De France because I’m half decent at cycling around he peaks, ffs.

That is Damon Reeves to Kovalev.

Bookies will be interesting because how would you even work out the form?

If Kov wins I just expect you to give him credit for it and not say 'Yarde sucks, he wasn't ready, he was too young' etc
