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

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yarde showing shades of Joshua??

Both called Anthony.

Kov should take a round or 2 off

[sir123]

Ring girl is awesome

Second that buddy!

[ewenhay]

Shut out after 6.

Yarde at least trying to get inside the jab though

[KiwiRider]

Kov has won every round but he's getting sloppy, Yarde will turn the fight pretty soon

I keep expecting it, then I see Yarde mouth open, breathing heavy
He definitely is rationing his right hand.

[sir123]

Yarde is just weightlifter who can swing. Little to no techincal skill at all. Kovalev just needs to stay smart and will get 12 round shut out or even a late stoppage.

[Ricky]

Good chin yarde, but he's looking like a 1 trick pony with that left hook. Lesson in jabbing so far.

[Ruthless-RKO]

6-0
Yarde bloodied nose.

[overhand_right]

It's like Yarde studied round 7 of Alvarez/Kov but none of the rounds before it

[jameswilson]

Yarde has some swelling as well I think.

[Neil Gee]

Yarde looks like his only chance is skipping away

[Ruthless-RKO]

Luis Pabon good ref.

[jameswilson]

Yarde looking to have it now. Think this will be the death of him.

[ewenhay]

That's better that last minute of round 7.

Not enough to take the round though

[jameswilson]

Luis Pabon good ref.

Has he reffed over here? No we get refs who carry fighters back to the corner.

[DrDuke]

Yarde finally won a round. 6-1

[MightyWarrior]

Much better body shots that hurt the Russian there

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Was that a Yarde round? I thought it should have been.

6-1 Kov

[ewenhay]

Yarde finally won a round. 6-1

Wouldn't go that far

[Cholo_cws]

Better finish to the round from Yarde. For the first time in the fight he sustained pressure on Kovalev.

[margaret thatcher]

Kov hurt to the body, the end is near

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yarde finally won a round. 6-1

He only did wel for 30 seconds. That was still a Kov round.

[overhand_right]

YES! Yarde made Kov look uncomfortable in round seven with that aggression.

My WHOLE NINE YARDES KO is still in play!

[KiwiRider]

6-1
That piston jab of Kov's is starting to bust up Yarde.

[Neil Gee]

Kov 7-0.

[TheLeprechaun]

Yarde isn't as talented as people thought. Now it's down to sheer heart. I feel like he can do this if he's willing to take the risk of being knocked out and absolutely go for it.
