Key word is "if"

If Yarde catches Kovalev, he won't make it out of Celyabinsk.

No way Krusher is losing on home turf to Yarde. That would be mad.

Hostile crowd? What is this Cold war era BS they’re trying to market?

To me , Kovalev is so over rated at this point of his career. I used to think Kovalev really was a crusher but I believe he has been exposed. He was never really tested and once he fought wars that was his downfall. He chin isn’t that good and he certainly can’t take a body shot and if he fights Canelo that plays right into Canelo hands.

I think at this point of his career, he is what he is. An accomplished champion well past his prime. Still cagey and powerful enough to beat most but vulnerable to any decent contender too. I put the Yarde fight as a pick'em. Kov should win but you just never know against a younger, powerful contender.

Fighters with offensive mindsets and power typically look better than they are on the way up. It's easy to overrate them.

He fought Ward twice. Dropped him and did enough in the first fight for many (myself included) to think he won. He was up on the cards when he was stopped in the 2nd. He lost to Alvarez and revenged that loss and he has two wins over Pascal that just beat Marcus Browne.

Kovalev sounds like a pretty unsavory character in his personal life but on the overall, I think he's had a damn good run at LHW.

Frank talking rubbish about Yardes opposition. They are the worst ive ever seen a prospect fight on the way to a major title fight. Deontays were bad but he did have an Audley Harrison and Malik Scott who are levels above anyone Yarde has faced. Was anyone even British championship level on Yardes record. Anyway, anyone can get lucky is what Warren is saying. But that's any fight if a guy can punch abit. Expect lots of excuses about how ***** sabotaged Yarde after this one.
