Comments Thread For: Yarde: Kovalev is Nervous, He Doesn't Really Want To Fight Me

[Boxing_1013]

I just looked at Yarde's previous opponents and I only recognized one name (Norbert Nemesapati) and it's not a particularly high profile name. I expect Kovalev to win, he should win especially with it being in Russia. The only way I see Yarde winning is if Kovalev has become completely shot or is overwhelmingly overconfident and hitting the vodka too hard.

Kovalev TKO 10th round.

Yeah or just a 'lucky' punch...but even then Yarde's last 5 opponents have gone 5 4 7 7 and 4 rounds...so not exactly a one punch KO guy like Mike Tyson or Wilder...he is strong though maybe he will prove me (and most of us lol) wrong.

But yeah I see this as a one-sided schooling by Kovalev with him very possibly ending it at some point...Kovalev may stay with the boxing and go 12 rounds if he still has any doubts from his recent fights creeping in...exciting fight though.

Hey Yarde don't forget Kovalev beat a man to death and it didn't affect him enough for it to ruin his career.

The kid has never been hit solid by a legitimate contender; Kovalev' s right hand will feel like he drank 8 bottles of vodka...

I agree, Yarde hasn’t fought anywhere near the level of opponent he should have to prepare for this, the step up is colossal.
I think the first time Yarde is hit with even a stiff jab he’s going to realise this is a different ball game.

Yarde is fighting this guy in Russia! Kov will be juiced to the gills like Ivan Drogo..lol. Yarde better talk to Whyte to get that special roid package, so he could be in a even playing field! Lol.

Lazy cliche, compounded by the fact you spelt Drago wrong and LOL’d yourself.

It's funny: only WBO is ranking him, while WBC, IBF, WBA are not...

OK Anthony, you can get off Uncle Frank's lap now...

I don't think Kova is done yet. He beats Yarde for me even though I'm rooting for Yarde.

Yarde's ego is huge, this could be quite the humbling experience for him

[Sinbad]

Yarde is still too raw and unexperienced.
If Kovalev has been training and not drinking so much, he should win.
Too much for the ignorant russian to loose regarding canelo.
