Sergey Alexandrovich Kovalev vs. Anthony Yarde & Ilunga Makabu vs. Aleksei Papin RBR.

Come on Yarde!!!!

 

Lmao this Russian stream commercials between every round

 

Two zip Sergey. Both chopping weakly in the clinches, mutually smothered. Kov jab winning on the outside.

 

Kovalev is finding his range now. The jab is landing and keeping Yarde at bay.

 

1-1

 

Yarde is better than many skeptics thought...

 

Yarde slings the looping left hook and the fight hand drops, he drops that right hand.

if Kov times it then Yarde is done, it will be the beginning of the end.

Kov slowly starting to land more.

 

Yarde slowing down already.

 

Not really. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Yarde eating that jab, kovalev needs to relax and not throw shots when Yarde isn’t open up to them yet at least this early

 

If he can keep this up.. This is getting very interesting. Some thought it was going to look like Clev-Kovalev

 

I knew the jab was going to be huge for this fight

 

I like that Kovalev isn't overplaying his hand (as in, the right hand), only using the cross sparingly & experimentally, zapping Yarde with the jab. When the hammer drops Yarde won't even know what hit him...

 

2-1 Yarde

 

2-1 Kova
