    Yea that was un-Kovalev-like to comeback. I had lost my money already in my head after the first seven rounds cuz I had no clue theyd invest so lil to the body which to me is the key to beating Kovalev these days. Then I was like oh sh^t Imma bout to win in the 8th & then when Kovalev came with it in the 9th like he did I was like oh f#ck. Think Yarde shot his load to which didnt help. Sh^t strategy by Tunde to not go to the body more early when Yarde was fresher & like he often does. Trying to wear out the guy with sh^t cardio when you got unproven cardio yourself is too risky a move.

    JDJ even said he talked to Tunde & told him, body body body, so idk wtf that dummy was trying to do. Unless Yarde just got too into headhunting. Even when he had Kovalev shook in the 8th he wasnt going to the body as much as I woulda been trying to do.
    Body work was most likely the plan for Yarde, but not easy getting past Kova’s jab. His jab followed by the straight right gave Yarde trouble coming in. Kovalev also landed several good jabs to Yarde’s chest/solar plexus area, so that must bot have been fun as well.

    He did manage to get inside better when Kovalev was tiring, but then went all in in the 8th, and never recovered his energy. Kovalev, especially in the 10th, seemed so energetic and light on his feet, bouncing in and out of range and just throwing his 1-2s...

      Ward-Kovalev!! The decision was absolutely awful. I picked Ward going in and even though he got the nod he didn't win that fight. It would of made the second fight success even bigger if they just gave him the loss but boxing politics take precedent over the competition.

      Wilder-Fury! I thought Wilder was going to decimate Fury and once again boxings current framework has proven it can't get many fights right.

      I don't mind being wrong but just imagine what would happen if the judges got it right. We would of had a 3rd Kovalev-Ward fight and Fury would of had to rematch Wilder immediatley because of a rematch clause. Hell we would of probably of seen a 3rd Canelo-GGG fight as they would of been 1-1. The gods that be thinking they are doing boxing a favor by rigging these fights but in reality they are leaving so much money on the table and are ruining immediate sequels and trilogies. If it isn't corrupt judging the judges need to take yearly classes because they are absolutely incompetent.
