Whatever fish-eyes I has gif to share, tired of waiting.

Kova is not easy to beat.

Yarde should have a backup plan if things get tough in the ring.

Even if Yarde can walk through Kov’s best shots, boxes his head off and punches him out of the arena. He still isn’t a good enough boxer to be number 1 LHW

Hmm, Warren saying the right things but still not convinced. Just being athletic and heavy handed is not the be all and end all.

The more athletic fighter usually wins nowadays. One with power will cause problems.

I get the feeling he hasn’t. I honestly doubt whether he’s actually experienced taking any real punishment yet, I mean in sparring or amateur.
He thinks he has Mayweather confidence, but Mayweather still took every fight seriously.
It’s like everything is a big joke to Yarde, I think he’s been living in a bubble where everything’s been too easy.

His chin needs to be solid to beat Kov too. I have question marks about his stamina, jab and footwork. I think he’ll need them all to be solid to win.

He isn't a jabber but his style is getting around the jab which a good hook puncher with speed and head movement can do. Nothing wrong with his foot speed either when he backs up he doesn't leave his head sticking up,you;ll see Kovalev will struggle to get a gage on him ,its going to be a hard fight for him to win here.

Defintely don't love they are in Russia right now pre-fight acting like they won the fight already.

That said I did like how serious Tunde was when they were face to face with Kovalev. Tunde looked like he was studying dude like he was a science project. So I think once its fight time they'll be in work mode and real work mode is always ready to go into plan b or c or further down if necessary. Should be interesting to see the corner during this fight.
