Kovalev vs Yarde was a FLOP as AJ vs Ruiz Jr. The expectancies were shockers. Main Events convinced Kovalev that Yarde would be easier than Shabramsky. It was to only go for 4 rounds tops.
Kovalev and Main Events expected this. An easy pay for Kovalev with Yarde and an easy prep for Kovalev to Canelo.
You can’t use the Yarde fight resolution against Canelo for these reasons.
Also, all the pro points of Kovalev’s narrative giving Canelo trouble because he was a LHW simply vanished when we saw how Canelo nullified Kovalev.
Approved fights for Canelo including his Mexican holiday cancellation was simply GGG and Kovalev.
It’s Kovalev’s fault he couldn’t finish Yarde earlier as he was supposed to.

I don't know what Duva thought, but I do believe that anyone who works in boxing knows that every fight is a risk.
