Cracking fight

Great effort from Yarde against all odds to the point where he almost had Kovalev out of there in round 8. Kovalev also did well to find a second wind and take Yarde out in the end in a fight where he was winning on his jab for most of it.

Interesting, joe and Higgins had some negative things to say a few weeks back hinting they were being stitched up by Hearn .
You do wonder if they have pulled the pin.

Barry had been vocal about wanting a tough referee who would not let the fight get out of control. They weren't happy with the ref in the Whyte fight. Maybe there is more to the story.

Surely at this stage in Parker's career he should be prepared to fight Chisora in Chisora's garden with Chisora's mother reffing?

Either JP is genuinely ill or injured
Or he has been offered something better ie. the Saudi card- as a reserve incase of AJ injury or a big undercard for much more $$
Not for a second do I think JP got scared of Chisora like some are saying on other forums... he isn't a 12 year old kid he has fought tough guys before, thats a weak theory -
I doubt he is on the Saudi card, with Hearn promoting both events,
I actually think he is genuinely sick, but threw it out there there is the possibility he pulled out because overall they haven’t seemed that happy, I don’t think he and chisora were that impressed they were on the undercard when most people paying ppv for that event were more interested in their fight. A way for Eddie to pay them less. That has been a talking point in boxing circles.

Errol Spence flipped his Ferrari, seems to be questionable reports on his condition, the footage does not look great https://www.boxingscene.com/errol-spence-car-accident-videos-surface-horrific-crash--143271

Spence, who successfully defended his belts in a thrilling showdown with Shawn Porter in Los Angeles last month, was not wearing a seat belt and at some point was ejected from the vehicle as it flipped over several times.
Retard.

Worth a watch, the first fight I distinctly remember was Holyfield v Tyson. Really was Good v evil at the time.
I listened to this the other day in the gym ,
Evander although such a tough dude , had an innocence about him, reminded me of bubba from forest gump, my momma used to say this, my mumma always said that .

@kiwiinmelb Sounds like a pretty incredible woman. Really liked his talk on forgiveness too.

By all reports he is a Really good fella , no one has a bad word to say about him, in a sport where it isn’t always that way

Errol Spence is very lucky , no broken bones and a few facial lacerations ,
maybe one of the few occasions wearing no seat belt saved someone, thrown clear of the car , ( somehow safely by the sound of things ) while it kept rolling,
Expected to make a full recovery

@kiwiinmelb Clear marketing ploy to raise his profile in the States.
