Ropes saved Kovalev from getting KOed in the 8th?

[_Maxi]

At least from getting KD? or am I exaggerating?

Yarde turns the tide and nearly puts Kovalev down in the 8th

kova felt the ropes and use them, most fighters do that..

Kov was fine. Hard shots by Yarde, but the ropes didn't save kov there.

[REDEEMER]

I'd say no,standing 8 count could be called maybe ? Only thing that saved him was the bell though. Had Yarde go at him sooner he probably wins this fight and should know he didn't have that experience late rounds.

Yep he was in trouble and held it together, Kov won every round bar the 8th and finally stopped him it was a good performance.

Naw he kept his legs. You can tell when a man's legs buckle while leaning against the ropes

[Sun_Tzu]

Nah, i think he was rattled but he was a few shots away from going down. As someone said you couldnt have argued with a standing 8 but who does that anymore?

[A.K]

He was moving his Head dodged the next punch and stayed on his legs but it was a hell of a shot lot of guys would of buckled.

Agree. Almost is for horseshoes and hand grenades.
