Sergey Kovalev v Anthony Yarde

[Master]

I had never heard of Anthony yard till this week. Just looked at his record and recognise no one on it.

Looking forward to watching it at a reasonable fight time!

Yarde is our version of Roy Jones Junior. He is a very athletic boxer.

I hope Yarde in particular and his team are safe. I don't like the pre-fight shenanigans from the Russian/Kovalev camp.

What time does it start please?

All these years on boxing message boards and I’m still regularly surprised by the majority reaction.

Everyone, everyone, should be incredibly pleased with Yarde’s performance.

But what still manages to surprise me is how fans are always “he should change X and Y and then...” he’s 28, sure he’s inexperienced so he can make more changes than most but history says most likely he is what he will be for the most part. And what he is is enough to enjoy. Will he be a world champion, that depends on which champion he fights. He probably won’t ever be the best at 175, but maybe the best move up and a lesser guy has a belt. Or maybe he never becomes champion but he gives us 5/6 exciting fights and makes some good coin doing that. That would be fantastic too.

There are lots of ways to have a great career, they don’t all include drastic changes leading to titles. In fact that is rare. It would not be surprising to see him have a few exciting fights taking heavy damage during them then drop off. As long as he gets out healthy with money to take care of himself and those he cares about then good on him.
