Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Yarde Will Pay For Everything He Posted and Said!

[apollocreed]

Yarde looks real good. With his body shots and uppercuts, I see him stopping kov.


Yarde isn't like the slow motion hype job Nathan Goreman. I watched Goreman before the dubious fight, and thought hype hype hype.

Yarde has some decent speed, slick moves, and good power.

Yarde has power, but he’s also got slow feet, and doesn’t jab enough. I doubt he’ll be able to get in range without taking a lot of punishment.

He actually has. Check his Instagram. In the last two weeks he’s posted a couple of photoshop pics of him beating the **** out of Kovalev.
McGregor had a similar wall painting done in his gym before the Mayweather fight and we know how that went!
I thought it was massively naive by Yarde when I saw them - I knew it would piss Kovalev off and get his fire burning.

Yeah, i just saw them. I think it's the closest Yarde will get to success with Kovalev. I hope Kovalev really is motivated, the only way he loses is if hes really not worked for this, and i dont think i could bear the Tunde and Yarde show if they actually won.

This is the sort of Kovalev that I want to see. Does anyone know if this fight has been promoted properly in Russia? Just haven’t seen enough of it online.

A fired up Kovalev facing a novice at this level, can't see past a Kova win. We know what he can do well, but nobody has a clue how Yarde will fare, I think this is too big a jump up, Yarde should have been fighting decent opposition to prepare himself for this.

Good point.

Kovalev is going to stop Yarde, I agree with Ward, he's a light heavy weight trying to fight like FM fighting against bums it works. Last person to try that style (AB) wasn't successful at all, AB against C level fighters could get away with that. Once Yarde get's hit then what???
