    Good scrap. Kov took the kid to school.

    Beterbiev ices him too. Krusher isn't half of what he was in his prime. Yarde has not business lasting this long and nearly taking him out in that 8th. Unfortunately I think he loses to Clenelo if the fight happens who is defensively sound and works the body well. It's not a bad gamble to take the fight. Yarde is a body builder with limited experience and he almost pulled the win out earlier.

    He needs to leave the trainer. He needs a proper trainer, a world class trainer. Because then they can teach him how to manage his stamina and improve it, because it is AWFUL.

    There is potential there though, definitely.

    Kovalev is a Tiger. More powerful and smarter animal.

    Tigers only

    So Canelo will force Kovalev to move down to 168 so he has a shot at beating him? Kovalev should avoid that.

    Definitely. Showing that kind of heart and ambition in a champ's back yard should earn him nothing but respect, despite the outcome. Hope he's alright. It's an experience he can learn from

    I have Gvozdyk beating this Kovalev convincingly.. hes definitely slowed & is showing his age .. remember when he was always up on his toes & using every inch of the ring round after round? Those days are over.. but it's been a blast following his career..

    What’s silly billy Bunce talking about, “bravest & gutsiest performance by a Brit he’s ever seen”!
    When did he start watching boxing, last year?

    Stop rimming Frank Buncy and get real

    Fair play to yarde, made it to the championship rounds, nearly had kov out of there and the fact a jab KOd him showed how much fire he had to fight through before he cracked.

    And well done semi-shot kova
