Much better I let Buncey set the scene for this one.

Fight fans this should be an interesting one. Yarde can take a punch and he has genuine power. He doesn't rush his work and if he gets his man in trouble, he is clinical. What he hasn't faced is someone good enough to consistently beat him to the punch. Logic says that the champion should work him out and wear him down, maybe around round 8.

Kovalev is a class act and also carries a big punch. He should be too good for a maverick, with a maverick trainer (no sparring!!!) and a record of beating a host of mediocre fighters. He has had some notable losses though and just may be he is there for the taking.

Yards saved by the bell at the end of the tenth.

He's given it a good go, but not looking like it's going to be enough.

Outclassed really. A jump up too many levels.

All over in the eleventh.

Kovalev just too much in the end.
