5 rounds for Beterbiev here. Yarde is a gunslinger. And when pressurised he will look to fight fire with fire. That will be the deciding factor in this ending early.
I saw Yarde getting knocked out by a This content is protected by Kovalev. 3 rounds, tops. And then it will be night night for Yarde.
Yarde is the value side here. (from a betting perspective) he's fought 6x in the last two years going 5-1, avenging his lost by early ko. vs Beterbiev who only fought 3x Factor in Beterbiev is 38 years old , a full 7 year difference in youth, also Yarde is the hardest puncher he's ever faced so this is a new variable for him to solve. Yarde has nasty body shots and can take a punch. This fight can go either way, i think it's a coin flip . But im putting my money on Yarde. Every fighter eventually erodes and some start hitting their prime age. Yarde is a late bloomer, I can see him being a problem in this division. To sum it up. Youth+Activity+Power+ > Inactivity+old+stamina/some power
that's not what happened, he gassed out with those big muscles and Kovalev unleashed a flurry of punches on him and got tkoed on his feet, testament to his chin , he never went down and out. towel thrown.
