Yarde Landed More Punches On Kovalev Than Anyone In History

[PRINCEKOOL]

Anthony Yarde did very well, but he should not of gassed like he did 'You would think with being the younger fighter he would have the better engine etc'.

Possibly this has nothing to do with his training, it is just that at elite level one of his drawbacks may have been unearthed.

But even still his stamina/endurance is fairly good.

And he also fought the worst version of Kovalev in the history of human kind

He maybe also received the most punches of anyone Kov has faced

True..........

Cong****,are they going to give him a participation medal?

[FlatLine]

Yeah he rabbit punched the heck out of him

They both rabbit punched each other, McClennan actually was the first to rabbit punch Benn in the first round several times leading to the first knockdown, although Benn was ducking low they were still technically unintentional rabbit punches but that enraged Benn and he began to retaliate with rabbit punches of his own.

Yard took a pretty bad beating the last couple rounds. Almost concerning

He also ate a lot of one-two's because Yarde's shoulder roll defense was horrible .

Damn, man how many threads are you going to start trying to make Yarde in to this great fighter that he isn't, never was, and never will be?

Disagree with Yarde's shoulder roll defence. The best attack against the shoulder roll is the jab. See DeLa Hoya vs Mayweather in the early going until he abandoned it. Kovalev has one of the best jabs I have ever seen and that's why he was effective against it. Yarde did change it up a bit, but he simply couldn't get past that powerful jab. Most other light heavies would have lots of problems with Yarde

I think Pascal is waving that flag.
