Kovalev vs Yarde on June 29, in Russia

[frosty-g]

Yarde's footwork could well be his downfall.

I thought this was done months ago? Decent fight.

Yarde only has a punchers chance here because Kovalev is the far superior and more experienced boxer. My prediciton is Kovalev by 12-0 shutout if Yarde has a good chin and Kov by my mid round stoppage if he doesn't.

Aren't there at least 10 guys between the tomato cans Yarde fought so far and a title shot ? Farewell Yarde, you'll be missed...

I could see Tunde jumping in you know! Especially if Yarde was taking a beating, he is more emotionally attached to Yarde like his own son.

Tunde Ajayi only cares about himself . He's the most narcissistic trainer in boxing.

... Kovalev could have taken Beterbiev instead -- which is an unification fight...

Are you insinuating kovalev is avoiding Beterbiev lol.
He’s tried to fight him more than once and made it quite clear he’s ready to fight him.

... I am not... We all know that Kovalev previously offered him a fight in Russia and team Beterbiev refused... but, you know, time just passes by...

... Yarde is yet to sign for this fight, I guess...

I'm quite sure you know all the variables that were involved... Kovalev tried to bait Beterbiev in a Russian trap... The promoters were questionable to say the least and Artur's clan took the right decision then... I'm not even sure Kovalev is that much inclined to take it now... He's been very silent about it since the weekend... Chickenlev ?
