I'm having a vision: Yarde beats up and stops Kovalev!

No.

 

Nurse....

 

I see it also!

 

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/psychiatry/ check this out and talk to those around you. It didn't have to come to this.

 

With that vision I suggest you should visit a ophthalmologist.

 

Good shout. Could well pan out like a LHW version of Calzaghe-Lacy but could Kovalev really endure Yarde type power over 12 rounds? Don’t think so.

Yarde and Warren are like James St Patrick and Simon Stern from Power. Unstoppable when they are working together.

 

The long range thuds would be horrible to hear let alone see, Yarde gets tattooed with too much and RSF. Team Yarde are biding their time, looking for a winnable name, Kov still has to much left for him at this stage, maybe 12 months time or when he's blatantly their for the taking !

 

There's no blueprint for Yarde
I'm just saying we've Seen Koval beat a few times now.
Don't ever count a lion out my boy dem
Edit: I think Koval might beat Yarde but I see Yarde beating Beterbiev.

 

I agree this could happen.

Kov is past it. Ward ruined him and his confidence is shot.

And Yarde is a big LH

 

Considering Yarde has shown nothing amazing in his fights so far and his cv is average at best
Where do people get the idea he can win this?

Not impossible but his footwork is pretty poor
Gets tagged to often and we have yet to see if he can dig deep to win

 

All good points and I know Kov is favourite; but I just have a gut feeling.

 

I hate to sound clichéd but there's levels. Kovalev's has been there and done it, he's seen what Yarde can offer.
The reverse is not true, as soon as Yarde feels a flush counter, the reality will become apparent.
All the 'lions' in Africa won't change that.

 

I understand. But there's timing. Kovelev looks old now. And he responds to body shots "old".

Of course he has the pedigree over Yarde, but stranger things have happened in boxing than big, strong, athletic younger men taking out their elders and betters.
