Watched a few eps on Netflix the other day it was nostalgic..soon as I heard the theme song it all came flooding back.
Kovalev is WAY past it. Yarde had the fight in the bag and still couldn't finish the job. Yarde is so avarage. Callum Johnson and Buatsi will send him into next week. If that was Kovalev a few years ago, he'd have gotten Yarde out of there in like 3 or 4 rounds.
I've had a look to yarde's boxrec, because last time I watched him was vs kovalev. Did anyone noticed that this is what he fought after kovalev? Diego Jair Ramirez 4 48 3 Holy ****, JCC sr. would be so proud of him.
Yet Kovalev was coming off of defeating Eleider Alvarez (his conqueror) in one the best pure boxing performances of his career, and then went on, with a shortened training camp, to box the ears off of Canelo Alvarez for 7-8 rounds. At least Yarde hasn't been dominated by a weak punching Marko Calic for half a match.
