Comments Thread For: Yarde: Kovalev Fight is No Rocky IV, But I Might Watch Afterwards

[Satir]

The question is - can Yarde slip under Kovalev's jab and work the body, Ward like a bull used his head to get closer and was tighting Kovalev's hands, i dont think they will allow headbutts or lowblows in Kovalev's hometown
Sergey is winning this one just with his left hand

I'm 99% sure Yarde wins.

What kind of boxer never saw Rocky IV....C'mon now.

[Superbee]

Only problem for him is that he'll see things he never saw before if Kovalev brings is A Game ( aka the Kovalev from the 2nd Alvarez fight...)

Either:

1) He's the real deal and will avoid all the traps coming from the rejuvenated old Krusher...

or

2) He'll be realizing (too late) that he might have taken a couple fights against actual guys with a pulse before jumping in the Hornets nest...


I go for the second one... Kovalev will make him look ******ly bad...

Yarde has to try to work the body

Agree with this all day. It took Ward a while to figure Kov out, Yarde's gonna be seeing things he's never seen before
