Watched the public workout over today. Kovalev very skillful and smooth and very athletic. He was always more of a boxer than crusher. He has really long arms for his height

Lean vs Bulk.

There’s no reason to pick Yarde based on resume or accomplishment or really even skill or experience. Kovalev should walk Yarde based on all those things and Kovalev looks in great shape and relaxed. Kovalev is old but he is not physically washed yet. Everything says Kovalev easy win but in this sport none of that really matters if Yarde is a lights out talent and unfortunately for bettors everywhere nobody knows until they get in that ring. Super interesting fight

Good one but charging machine guns was ineffective for 18 and 40 year olds trench warfare no good LOL

Yarde who has very minimal amateur experience and hasn’t fought even 1 top 15 guy probably doesn’t stand a chance... Kovalev might be old and susceptible but he has the talent and experience and power to beat Yarde at this point in his career, not only has Yarde not fought the right guys to challenge Kovalev he hasn’t fought anyone. Kovalev could just jab Yarde to. Decision if he wants to. Unless Kovalev is over looking him to that big payday with Canelo he wins and probably pretty easily

I expect kovalev to dog walk yarde!

Even after some of the most disrespectful trash talk ever, some are still actually saying Yarde has been respectful... 'has conducted himself well' etc etc. Maybe those fans need to do some actual objective research after first taking off the blinders.

Come fight night, IMO Kovalev will remember all the crude remarks Yarde has made, and make him pay. Yarde has one chance... a heavy punch. Meanwhile, Kovalev has way more experience in the ring with high level events like this. I don't see Yarde making it to the finish line. And if he does, it will be in a wide UD loss. Just my 37 cents worth.

You do know Kovalev lives in California... Right?

Correctamundo.

Kovalev looking like someone's dad with his shirt off in the backyard asking for a beer in comparison to Yarde. Kovalev is lucky dad bods don't matter in boxing.

Kov in shape, he’s just not as ripped and it shows next to a specimen like Yarde.
