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

[overhand_right]

So disappointing! Yarde punched himself out in seven and eight. Kovaleve was there to be beaten but Yarde was so knackered he's replenished the old man.

[Neil Gee]

Fair play to Kov give him the 9th

[jameswilson]

I think Yarde broken something, Something don’t look right on his head.

[hitman_hatton1]

corner should pull him.

[ewenhay]

Close to getting stopped there.

I think its over now.

[ewenhay]

Should probably pull him out here

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

That round was the kind of round we feared and suspected Yarde was in for all night. AY close to being stopped. Good fight.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He’s too shattered

[KiwiRider]

Yards has done far better than most, me inc, thought he would

He has been schooled, but only at a secondary, not primary level.
A younger Kov would have eaten him for breakfast, this Kov is making it more interesting.

[overhand_right]

Yarde is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory here.

Cannot believe he squandered that eighth.

[Neil Gee]

Nothing wrong with Yarde's chin. Big Kov round.

[hitman_hatton1]

corner should pull him.

[jameswilson]

Could have pulled him out going into that round ffs. Instead he gets knocked out for the count.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Where is Maggie !!!

[blanca]

Piss poor cornering there.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

It's over. Great effort in that round from Yarde but not enough. Kov KO11

[DrDuke]

Kovalev won like real champions do.

[Ruthless-RKO]

That was gonna happen. Yarde was just shattered after he had that huge round.

[Grilling Machine]

Funny — I was meaning to compare my feeling about this fight to Watson-Benn, I just never got around to it.

[ewenhay]

Gutsy effort.

Had a chance in the 8th but couldn't capitalise in the 9th. Any chance was gone after that.

Fairly straightforward for Kovalev overall though.

[dr_devious]

Immense effort from Yarde. Too tough for his own good doesn't want many more beatings like that for the good of his health

[hitman_hatton1]

madness sending him out for the 11th.

shot his bolt in that dramatic 8th.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Glad it didn’t go the distance. I would like to know what the cards are like.

[margaret thatcher]

Kov has hurt more guys with jabs than I can recall from any other recent fighter. Awesome last 4-5 rounds, didn't think Kov could storm back like that

[Kilburn]

Yarde so close to glory but it wasn’t to be.

Well done Kovalev he battled back well there.
