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.

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

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.

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

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

Is this Canelo step-aside story true?
Could Yarde have got the same money for not fighting?

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

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.

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