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

[Boxing_1013]

Sometimes even subjectivity folds under blatant reality. Like GGG vs Canelo I. I never said Yarde didnt touch Kovalev. He almost took him out. He just didn't touch him enough to warrant the 4 rounds. That's all. I think the kid has a bright future. Just Kova needs to get a bit older, this miscalculated Kova's "ripeness" for taking. It happens

Yeah I was impressed with him...for the record in big fights I always turn it on mute and just score the punches...the first few rounds were tight imo because Kov was landing more but Yarde had a moment or two in each round where I felt he landing maybe the best shot or combo of the round.

Yeah I mean I don't really see how anyone could give Nelo either GGG fight but some do..some try and say Jacobs beat GGG too...what can you do, some people see what they want/need to see I think.

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?

Good question and good info...maybe that helped to tire him out...it was a great fight though, lot of intrigue...Yarde has potential but the stuff he needs to correct will not be easy, if he wants to be great.
