Why is Kovalev not a higher favorite vs Yarde?

He's really boxing's Frank Grimes

 

If Kovalev is fine he will beat Yarde, but what spooks me is not only the plane story but also this, David B is a very reliable poster:

Oh, that's very interesting! Thanks.

Sergey Kovalev is the last fighter I'd ever bet money on to win a fight. After hearing about his later career training habits, propensity to get blackout drunk in camp, and his propensity to disregard his trainers and do what he wants......... Tangibly, as a fighter, hes ****ing loaded. Intangible? He tanked it bad in that category.

 

Bookies like muscles.

 

Journalists are all liberal worms, you can't believe anything they say about someone like Kovalev. They've been out to ruin him ever since he whistle-blew on what goes on in American gym sparring when you have a particular origin, something other fighters like Liam Williams have also mentioned but accept in a pathetically passive way in order to avoid getting attacked by the media.

 

Well i'm going to put a few notes on Kov. Even if he comes into the ring after drinking a bottle of vodka he'll win - he's levels above Yarde in terms of skills , experience and ring iq.
