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

Yarde blew his load in the previous round and allowed Kovalev to have a great comeback round.

 

88-83 Kovalev. Yarde took the round off there. He needs to step on it now, Kovalev is there for the taking.

 

Yarde needs to work the body if he does I think he might win,took his foot off the gas in last round.

 

Now Yarde is gassed god I love hate this fight

 

completely different round

7-2 Kovalev

 

That was what you call a "Champions Round"

Superb stuff from an old tired and worn Kovalev.

 

The battle for #1!!!!
Yarde is looking like a Lion in there!!!

I'm rooting for Kovalev but Feel Yarde has this won

 

Kovalev dominates the 9th with Yarde blowing out of his backside

 

Great return by Kovalev, but it seems he lost his power with his age

 

Awesome work from Sergei!!!
When he works the body Yarde slows down visibly

 

What the **** was that from Yarde ?

 

Round 9
Kovalev 10-9
Kovalev 88-83

 

Yarde should have continued with that high guard. Bad idea to revert to his hands down approach.

 

Yarde's got to step it up. He needs a knockout to win and Kovalev's still ripe for it

 

Huge comeback round for Serg

 

Yarde needs to attack the body again before going back upstairs
