    Great fight. Yarde took a massive step up and showed a lot of heart. Kovalev too experienced

    Impressive from Kovalev I thought when he looked tired it would be a slippery slope at this stage of his career. He came back well

    Yarde really surprised me, it was a ridiculous step up but he’s clearly a decent contender in and around this level

    Good fight!

    What a finish!
    Credit to Yarde, fought a heck of a fight and gave it his all. I might actually be a little excited the next time he steps in the ring.

    Knocked out by a jab.

    Keep him well away from the other world champions, that version of Kov was worn, old, tired and still beat Yarde handily in the end.

    Excellent fight, Yarder shows he has the right fundamentals and heart just not the right skills and game-plan. Kov still showed he has it, he's due a loss but it will take a good fighter to do it.

    Good effort from Yarde, & I know he was completely gassed but that knockout was dreadful
