Yarde had a game plan to catch him late on when he was tired but...

[Owlzfan84]

Kovalevs own corner was about to stop the fight and told him they were going to pull him out if he took more punishment after round 8. What won the fight for Kovalev was Yardes attempt to take it to late rounds and that was a poor decision as I Explained why because hes a 5 round fighter on average so he needed to go for it earlier and or pace himself but he was losing the fight so its obvious the latter was the game plan and it was a bad one.

Again you don't know much about much here.

You must not of seen too many Buddy McGirt corner talks. He's always threatening to stop fights lol. Most of the time it's his way to motivate his fighter.

People forget that kovalev them came roaring back and completely knocked the stuffing out of Yarde.i would say Yarde hit him at least 30 times full on to the head and body over rounds 7 and 8 as well...yarde literally punched himself to a standstill hitting kovalev full on and yet he still came on strong in the next round to take full control of yarde.
Watch the tape

After that 9th round, nobody can question Kov's heart IMO. I didn't expect him to answer the bell with fire in his eyes.

Me as well mate and to come back from that sustained beating in the 8th says to me it’s not done yet for kovalev and he will be dangerous for anybody at 175...they were some huge shots kova took and still came back with no effects in the 9th.
I like kovalev even more after that

[moltres.]

yarde said in an interview that his family are coming, sparring partners etc, so im not sure about this no sparring stuff.

Yup. I mentioned after the Alvarez rematch that Krusher was dead, but we may have a better boxer now. I don't think he beats Beterbiev or Bivol at his age, but anyone else at 175 I think he can beat (50/50 with Nail)

still weak to the body, but everyone has a weakness.

most fighters can be hurt with a body shot it all depends where it lands and how winded they are...the liver shot is no fighter can ever prepare for and if it lands just as a fighter is breathing in...forget it it’s over.
The ward fight although I think ward done incredibly well we’re highly dubious and with kovalev on the sauce was only going to end one way....if kovalev trains right and is focused he is a work class fighter...he showed speed in combinations , heart and durability that defies his age Saturday...Bivol or beterbiev are the two main kings now due to age but kovalev has earned his stripes now and the canelo fight if it comes off is dangerous for canelo if kovalev is prepared properly

I just hope there is no BS weight clauses (there will be)

I want Canelo to back off from Kovalev. We have four kings at LHW who are all wanting to fight each other. Canelo ruins that. If he DOES fights Kovalev with a hydration clause and wins...he holds that belt hostage. He doesn’t defend it and he sure as hell avoids the other 3 at LHW while his groupie fans keep saying “nobody knows who Bivol is? Why fight him?”

Meanwhile the whole ****ing world knew who Rocky Fielding was...

Canelo “I want to fight Kovalev. I want to be a champ at 175”
Canelo fans “**** yes so brave. I want to exhale his farts. I’m literally planning on kidnapping his children just to extract the DNA”
Bivol: “I have a belt at 175 too, and I’ll even meet you at 168!”
Canelo fans “look at this loser begging for a Canelo payday! Stay in your lane! Canelo is a blown up welterweight!”

yarde has never been past 7 rds why did his team think he could take a potential HOFmer with experience into deep waters because ward or alvartez did it?????

[Ray*]

Has Yarde himself gone past 8th round before this? So that would be the wrong game plan. I also mention this a few days ago, that they would hope Kovalev gets tired by those rounds from body shots, but he didn’t go to Kovalev’s body until when it was too late. And I hope this doesn’t destroys Yarde’s confidence.
