Round-by-Round: Sergey Kovalev vs. Anthony Yarde - 24 August 2019

[overhand_right]

Good job the Yarde bandwagon is near empty, because overhand has just thrown himself on it! Never been sold on Krusher, who while freakishly heavy handed always looked stiff and leaden to me, and wide open. If Yarde can keep out the way and pick his shots, he could clobber him and pull off a Haye/Mormeck type upset.

I'm predicting Yarde in nine so I can pun around Kov being taken the whole nine Yardes.

Hell yes this is what I’m talking about old son!

Two Russians in a row about to lose, this next one by big KO

What do U mean?

Yeh I was wondering that...

[Bard of Boxrec]

My official prediction is Yarde by KO. I just can't ignore my gut on this one, despite it being flabby and indigestion-ridden.

[Kilburn]

Ringwalks any nearer? I’m downstairs bribing my eldest with Hey Dougie to try and get his dinner down him.

Unreliable Mrs is upstairs keeping an eye out for the fight.

[MightyWarrior]

I’m not sure he’s that good, we’ve got no way of knowing just yet, but Anthony yard is going to have to be a sensational fighter to beat this guy

No sign yet ..chatting in the studio

The experience levels suggest this will just be Kovalev having the easiest fight of his career schooling a relative novice.

[Kilburn]

Is this Canelo step-aside story true?

Could Yarde have got the same money for not fighting?

Really, is that what you think? You haven't mentioned it at all so far.

Got to love Russian fights the time is perfect 7_30 /8 sure beats 5am or even 10-30 .

[margaret thatcher]

I actually think Kov's pretty fluid, he just gasses and doesn't take a good shot

It’s 11:30pm in Chelyabinsk.

[MightyWarrior]

Anthony yard has to channel his inner Nigel Benn

[margaret thatcher]

I doubt Kovalev makes it to the second half

[Kilburn]

Now we are properly talking.

[Bard of Boxrec]

Lol the rock

[polecateddy]

Talk about a leap of faith! It’s going to be totally one-sided.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Good crowd. Not booing Yarde.

Get Polecateddy to share some of his other wonderful theories with you. Did you know that Carl Thompson was better than Rocky Marciano? This is a man who knows his boxing.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Awesome visual effects

[polecateddy]

Sports science right there :)

[Bard of Boxrec]

Yarde dances to the ring. His moves look similar to mine, and to his style. Smooth and coordinated.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Why can’t be stick to 1 song.

Good crowd. Not booing Yarde.

And after that daft dancing they all deserve a medal for not booing him.
