Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev vs. Anthony Yarde - Official Scorecards

[Freedef]

If I was very generous, 3 rounds at max for Yarde.

??? He got Knocked out??? And you had him winning??? WTF? You gonna say lucky punch also?

I hard Yarde winning? Hell no lmfao

I said I only had him winning 2 rounds. I had it 8-2 for Kovalev

[Mindgames]

He looked good the first round he started doing that...then he started eating Kov's shots after that...maybe he was tired at that point and couldn't evade...but he was kind of getting lit up in that style after his initial success, imo

Mike himself said its a very tiring style to pull off and i imagine it is. It does seem to suit Yardes build better though, but i guess he didnt train that way. Does anyone even teach that style anymore?

[Mindgames]

He looked potent doing that, maybe would've worked better with earmuffs than with the shoulder-roll. Meh, I think he might've eaten a lot more shots though

Yeah, i guess he doesn't train that way either, but it might suit hes body type, a style like that. He doesnt have the feet for the Mayweather style. If only he met a Rooney instead of a Tunde lol.

... Yarde had a "game plane": he waited until the old alcoholic was off... and then Yarde went "all in" in the 7th and the 8th... and Yarde fell short by 10-15 seconds -- as we all have seen...

Yeah, he got outboxed in the other rounds tho. I don't really see how it relates to my posts but yeah sure. Those are the 2 rounds I gave to him yeah

Oh the people that tell you that are idiots that don't know how to score boxing...or they just have an agenda themselves

[Mindgames]

When opponents use earmuffs, Kov starts throwing double left hooks or a jab-right hook around the guard. It's a "pick your poison" situation.

Yarde kept the philly shell because he was relying on the check hook, but his jab wasn't busy enough to disguise the hook.

It seems like hes current style negates hes offense and power badly though. A least when he put the earmuffs on an walked in he made some impression. I think hed be much more dangerous trying something like peek a boo. The way hes fighting now he negates hes power. Maybe abit more of Nigel Benn or something. He aint got fast feet either.

I totally agree. Similar to Broner, Yarde has an identity problem. He'll only find out what works/what doesn't work once he starts fighting decent opposition consistently. His biggest obstacle towards discovering what suits him may be his trainer.
