    Weird because bodybuilder yarde didn't get much help from them as he was laid out by the same jab little bitty canelo walked through all night.

    All Yarde needed was a bit more experience against higher calibre of opposition, and it would have been him knocking Kova out. And he would have done it earlier than Canelo.

    Travis Reeves to Sergey Kovalev was too much of a leap, even if Sergey was on the slide. Just a bit better pacing by Yarde, or a bit more experience against a better jab is all that it would have taken.

    Yarde's fight management was a travesty. Hopefully they get it better going forward, but it was a huge missed opportunity.

    The Yarde fight was actually a real fight. I have a lot more respect for Yarde.
