Also, you cut off the Tunde comment, I said he was Yarde biggest problem, so therefore Russia wasn't his worst problem, so read in full it wasn't that Anti Russian even if it was a slight dig at Russia........ which it wasn't.
It could be that Yarde is in Chelyabinsk earlier than Kovalev (the second part of Kovalev's training camp was in Moscow).
I will be extremely surprised if Yarde pulls out the victory despite the odds saying that this is a close one Yarde beating Kovalev in Mother Russia will be a bigger shocker than AJ losing
Clever move by Tunde and Yarde. By the time Kovalev arrived Chelyabinsk will be solidly behind their adopted Lion and Kovalev will face a hostile reception.
It's all falling into place, he basically beat Kovalev already... What can possibly go wrong now?! Campy lions in the camp!
You'd be surprised. The Russian boxing fans are warmhearted. They are truly passionate about boxing. Yarde will be shown plenty of love and respect. (Definitely more than you'd expect) There is a reason why guys like Makabu and Durodola return to Russia. Good pay, tremendous opportunities and a good boxing scene/atmosphere.
He is in a corrupt country not a bandit country. A bandit country this is a country like Columbia, Mexican or so on.
It's funny if you remember when Kovalev was pressured by false accusations from some *****, exactly before the rematch with Alvarez in the USA.
No one would ever recommend a fighter progresses in the way Yarde has. He goes from facing non-punching international journeyman outside of the top 50. Jumps right in with one of the hardest punching LHWs in the world who is still top 3 in the world. It only makes sense when you hear rumours he is getting 4 million Euro for this and Kovalev desperately needed a high ranking opponent for this date. Cash out
