Re: Sergey Kovalev v Anthony Yarde
4 cards this weekend and I didn't watch a single fight. Have to say I think this whole app and some sub par streaming has taken me out of the routine of boxing fandom a bit. Sounds like Kovalev and Yarde did themselves proud and put on a helluva scrap. Glad Kovalev pulled it off and his consistent jab was a key factor. Haven't seen to much of Yarde but I don't mind a young talent ignoring step aside money and those concerned rolling the dice on their promise once in awhile. Consciousness and game plans you can regain but not a youth if spent wondering 'if only I would have'. Kovalev will get his lottery with Canelo but if CW is mentioned he should tell them to fook right off, but he won't. Those body shots don't bode well for him but. Canelo has never seen a jab quite like that either.

Do not worry we can join the Joshua Buatsi bandwagon now.

With Kovalev I hope he just completely shitmixes Canelo...I know they'll probably set some bullshit catchweight so it's advantage Canelo but I want to see Canelo get KO'd
Haye gave him the sound advice of be careful not to damage your big toe before a fight.

Not all. But in Canelo's case, absolutely.

Yes, and yes.

No "think" about it. It's a fact. The computer has spit out Kovalev's name as being ripe for the picking.

Bingo! It's the fact people are reluctant to mention, but it's always the white elephant in the room.

Someone will eventually KTFO Canelo. Unfortunately that someone will not be Kovalev.

There's more chance of these "sticky freak" mods unsticking their dead fightnight threads than that happening.
