Thank You Kovalev Thank You Yarde

[Alan Smithee]

they had only fought 10 rounds. How would he be up 8 rounds to 3 going into the 11th?

If you read my response I had Kovalev winning the 11th. Obviously the fight ended in the 11th but would Kovalev have won the round? Your boy was knocked out by a jab. British boxers at their finest!

I think we all know that Kovalev murders the Non PED Canelo.

But if he takes a fight with the PED Canelo who can fight 34 rounds while holding his breath with a rehydration clause on the contract, that is another thing.

But no Re-hydration clause and a Clean PED Canelo, and Kova KO's the MF in 7.

Remember the No PED Canelo who was breathing like a 2000 Miles marathon runner at the end of the line????

my boy? haha. There is no way you can possibly hate UK fighters more than me. It's not even humanly possible.

Yarde needs to fire his team first for allowing him to take this fight, and most importantly, without sparring in camp, nothing in Yardes career has prepared him for this. I respect the risk taking but it wasnt a wise move. Overall yarde did okay and kov is past it, but you have to spar to control your adrenaline, he was tired as hell

I generally like your posts, but you are off the mark here.

Kov was in control except for 2 or 3 rounds mainly because Yarde was so inactive.

Yeah I agree.

Kovalev needs to fire mcgirt. Mcgirt was overreacting. Not wanting another body on his record, he almost robbed Kovalev of this victory. His concience is getting the best of him.

I actually think that was more of a psychological speech tonight, I doubt he would have stopped it, I think he just wanted Kovalev to be more assertive and not take a lot of punches.

to beat kov you have to do it in rounds 7-9 when he has his mental lapse, if yarde sparred in camp he would have been able to control his energy n did it...

LOL, Sorry buddy! I thought you were a brit. Yarde did okay but showed his inexperience. He should spar though! His trainer is nuts!

He would NOT fire his team, even those they are deluded. His trainer is also his manager, which means less money/cut. They avoided any sort of decent level before this mandatory shot, you can’t blag your way through everything. They were banking on Kovalev being shot, he is but not to pieces yet for Yarde sort of level.

Before this fight, I said Team Yarde are probably banking on Yarde taking Kovalev to the 6/7 round and turning up from there, hoping body shots would make Kovalev winded, the fight happened the way I thought it would.

Canelo would beat up on Kovalev next, it would be like watching Canelo/Kirkland.

That is really bizarre that Yarde didn't spar at all before the fight. Wtf
