Kovalev will destroy that boy.

Yarde jumping up from C class fighters to fight a seasoned champ. Come on now.

I completely agree. If kovalev fought any single one of his opponents he would be chastised. Yarde has never even faced the caliber of opponent sergey has been destroying for the better part 3-4 years

Granted, but Yarde hasn't been close to being tested, so we don't know what he is capable of. I think his punch, freshness and physicality pose a massive threat to Kovalev at this stage of his career.

4-5 years ago krusher would kill him in a couple of round, against 2019 krusher, he's got a chance

[EnglishOxide]

Make no mistake about it.

Yarde is talented. He has not been tested but you must trust the eye test. You don't fight like he does after only 30 fights amateur and pro without having talent.

He is more athletically gifted than anybody Kovalev has faced.

The only questions are:

Chin
Mentality

If these are on point he will win. Avoid a jabbing match, go to the body and land counters. He needs to stay composed and controlled, that is key.

Lost virtually every round but nearly won it in the 8th, unfortunately punched himself out.

lol FAIL! Considering yarde did nothing but pad work in preparation for kovalev I'm surprised he lasted this long
