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

[Guest]

All they had to do was paint Kov as the Criminal scumbag he is with him harassing women and having in the past making bigoted statements!

Focus on that and then Yarde’s personality has a laid back and confident young guy who’s aiming to risk it this early for his dream to be realized and then you have an easy fight to sell!

I also think Canelo trying to get to Kovalev also what hurt the promotions for this fight too!

Doesn’t matter now, both men seem ready and in fantastic shape!

Let’s all hope both warriors make it out the ring with their faculties and give us a awesome fight!

May the best man win!

I see where you are going but ESPN would never do that. Sponsors of the network would freak out, although as a gimmick it might even work. LOL.

It would take a while to sell Yarde no matter how affable he is.

Overall, you are right they didn't do much for this promotion.

I am excited for this fight too, and it frees up my evening!

I'm going with the Krusher, he can box(he outboxed Ward in the first fight) and he can hit as hard as anybody. I guess we'll see if Yarde is for real or another bodybuilder wanna be boxer.

Yarde will win this. He is powerful, strong and technical.

I can see him stopping Kovalev in the 6th round.

I can't see kov winning here,i think its a very bad match up with young very fast power puncher who works the body. People down playing yard ,they forget boxing is ability to be effective ,going of resume results is going to cost many bettors money on this win .Yarde should be the favorite.

With two big punchers, anything is possible, but seldom is such a wide gap of experience at the top level.

I just watched Yardes 2 latest fights.....He looks really big and strong. Looks much bigger than the guys he's fought, like he doesn't even belong at LHW...looks like a damn cruiserweight. I suspect he can take a good punch but I have doubts about his endurance. He tries to be slick but he seems to get hit a lot for someone who acts slick....The footage I've seen of him makes me doubtful about his chances against Kovalev. Yardes best chance is if he's very durable and can stay strong in latter half of the fight. Kov has been known to fade and his love of alcohol has been a detriment to his durability and stamina....although Kovalev did seem to have good stamina in his last fight.

Russia dwarfs the U.K and has far more action on the betting lines . I don't really believe the betting itself effects much of how the odds are made its the actual performances ,you have a undefeated guy vs a guy with multiple losses ,I don't think Kov is the favored to win but its in Russia which I believe is why. Power hook punchers with speed have advantages over direct technical straight punching ,as long as Yarde moves around and doesn't let kov set he will win .

okay, I'm up. What time's the undercard for this soviet ****show? lol
