Sergey Kovalev vs. Anthony Yarde - August 24, 2019

[boxing_rocks]

It appears that Yarde's trainer doesn't believe in sparring, so Yarde didn't spar preparing for this fight. It will be a slaughter.

[victor-romeo]

Kovalev not even a 2 to 1 favorite, gamblers think it is close fight. The thing I wonder about is Kovalev being thrown off airplane, most likely drunk. If he was drunk this close to a fight, he might not be in good shape physically or mentally?

He may be better when he is drunk. Besides, I doubt the fight will reach the second half.

The definition of a gambler is to take a gamble. Yarde has a puncher's chance, like Alverez had in the first fight.
I think the odds have narrowed from lots of little bets on Yarde by KO/TKO. Heck, I would risk $10 on it, no more than that though

[Evander]

See the size of Yarde at the weigh in, not an ounce of fat on him and primed physically, he looked ready to go.

[ironbeard]

Looking good and being good do not necessarily coincide.

Little bets don't move odds.

Evgeny Romanov has just TKOed another journeyman in the 1st.

[chuck9788]

Aleksei Papin (11-0, 10 KO's) entering the ring now. He also has a 276-4 kick boxing record. His ring entrance music sounds like a Russian Enya.

Ilunga Makabu (25-2, 24 KO's) enters after. Makabu's only losses was in his pro debut and in 2016 to Tony Bellew, everyone else has been destroyed (most recently Dmitry Kudryashov).
