The amount of crap you gave me and other forum posters for correctly predicting the outcome is surely something you must feel embarrassed about?

Not at all, my point was you were calling this a mismatch and giving him 'no chance at all' while entirely ignoring what Yarde brought to the table and waffling on about experience as the be all end all. 'No chance at all' doesn't have an 8th like that

In the end, no amount of ring experience would have helped Yarde tonight, he was just beaten by the better guy.

Enjoy your Saturday night in your parents' basement.

Hopefully there is no permanent damage from all punishment to the head Yarde took today.

No question. Maybe in the first Rd.

I wouldn't mind seeing him retire now on a high note. He looks vulnerable these days.

But seriously why do I see Russian fighters hiring American a-holes as trainers? Povetkin did it too and it cost him a lot in his career, and Kovalev's a-hole trainer tonight was anxious to stop the fight after round 8. I don't see any American fighters hiring Russian a-holes to be their trainers.

That is what is called over here as lighting a fire under someone's ass. It worked, didn't it?

Maybe it's a language barrier, but why are you calling the trainers a-holes?

diddy wrote: ↑24 Aug 2019, 17:37 Canelo's team will put an absurd rehydration clause on Kovalev to assure he wears down in the later rounds while Canelo spends the first 8 rounds assaulting his body. Kovalev will agree to the clause because the payday will be out of this world and its time to cash out.

I don’t know but I think he would benefit from dropping his delusional trainers, dropping his ineffective Mayweather imitation defence and maybe drop muscle although clearly his strength and power is an advantage.
