Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev Survives Scare, Knocks Anthony Yarde Out in 11th

[MulaKO]

Yeah maybe... Remains to be seen

Kovi won’t make it to those middle rounds
Canelo will **** that body like a fughin drummer ****s away
Don’t see it going more than 4-5 rounds
Plus Canelo’s speed compared to Kovi is night and fughin day
Cumulative beating resulting in a 5th round knock the fugh out

Kovalev should forget the Canelo fight if they come in with ****** demands and hydration clauses etc...Kovalev is the LHW Champ, not Canelo so there should be no demands from Canelo's side. If Canelo wants a crack at the LHW title then he needs to fight at the LHW limits. Kovalev will need to KO Canelo, cause they will steal that win away from him otherwise with corrupt judging..theres no way in hell Canelo can win by KO, just doesn't punch hard enough and Kovalev is used to taking punches from much harder guys, I dont believe Canelo can win on points either legitimately. In an ideal world Kovalev destroys Canelo by vicious KO and finally put an end to that circus.

[OPS]

Andre Ward,

Listen Bro, come on out of retirement take two tune ups and send Kovalev to retirement please.

Too many idiots are wined, dine, and seduced by unbeaten punchers.

"Out of" ???? How many of those guys were born in Canada? I think only Lemieux ? That would be like the U.S claiming all the russian and eastern european and cuban fighters who fight out of LA or NY. Nobody says Lara is from the US, he's Cuban because he was born there.

And we can share Lewis if you don't mind :-) ... as he was born in London and fought out the UK professionally but amateur for Canada.

“Out of” has always been what mattered in professional boxing. It’s why they billed Alvarez as Canadian in the Whyte fight. The US does claim the Cubans, just not usually the Eastern Euros for some reason. Probably because they’re much more patriotic to their homeland.

And Lara was an awful example, his nickname is literally “the American Dream” haha

After both Ward-Kovalev fights, Ward said, from the 7th round in the 1st fight, I realized Sergio had no inside game so I focused on my mid-range, my inside game, body shots, and that made all the difference in both fights. That’s how you beat Sergio.

As you stated, Yarde should have stepped it up to the body the round after Sergio was hurt. Kill the body, the head will die. But Yarde needs also to work on his conditioning and they need to incorporate sparring in training as you stated also, and especially when your fighting in another man’s country.

It’s quite unfortunate that the broadcast I watched they didn’t show the corners in every round
Would love to know what advice or orders he was getting in his corner ( Yarde that is )

You mean Rivas

You mean Rivas

Yes, thank you. Alvarez was on my mind due to the Kovalev fight just ending.

I watched it on ESPN Plus. Timothy Bradley and Andre Ward kept saying that Yarde’s corner should tell him to invest more to the body early on and from the 1st round on. And then when he started to do it, they kept saying, he needs to keep going downstairs more because it’s effecting Sergio. I don’t understand where’s Yarde’s corner was in the first 4 rounds. Yarde was head hunting and kept throwing the check left hook. Not sure what their strategy was going in.
