These threads are so idiotic to read sometimes, its as if they are made by somekinda forum bot. A fighter getting knocked out in a sport where knocking out your opponent is the most preferable outcome, then gets labeled as glass-jawed? That's just harsh.
And the man in his AV knows its it better than anyone. He exposed one of the more famous glass jaws of the modern era.
Hell yeah. Called Fraudley getting KOd by Sprott when everyone was saying it would be a cakewalk. The signs that A-FARCE couldn't take a punch were there long before. Kovalev's chin may not be THAT bad, but it's not great either. If Yarde is better than his record indicates, he could take advantage of this mandibular fragility.
Great call. But I was referencing Tarver in his AV and his exposing of Jones' grade AAA china chin. Great prediction though. I still laugh reading some of the old A-Farce and Tye Fields threads on here. I think Kovalev has an average chin. Not china, not iron. He's never been stopped early into a fight and he's eaten some hard punches without going down. If his out of the ring problems come into play it wouldn't surprise me if he faded and Yarde got him out of there like Alvarez did in the first fight. But Yardes coddled career leads to me think that Kovalev has this and that Yardes handlers will regret taking this calculated risk.
Ah yes, Tarver-Jones, that was another clear exposure of mandibular fragility that I correctly called. And I agree, Kovalev's chin is not at that level, or certainly Fraudley's paper-mache' whiskers - which is why I have picked him to win by UD. But, I would not be surprised if he hits the canvas along the way, or does get stopped IF (a big IF admidtedly) Yarde is better than his padded record would suggest.
