It sure seemed like a bad idea to put him in with Kovalev but maybe they saw the writing on the wall and took the biggest purse possible bcse he likely could of lost to anybody even much lesser opponents and never got a chance to make that kind of money.
I like the kid too. Such a damn shame about his chin.
And god knows WTF his team were doing putting him in with Kovalev.
Ismayl's problem has always been his lack of head movement and just using his feet for defense. Grachev fight permanently damaged him.
Don't feel bad, he gave it a good go. I just think fighting Kovalev at this stage of his career was stupid.
Yeah, not the greatest promotional move by Roy Jones and his Square Ring guys (although I doubt Roy has anything to do with matchmaking or anything else for that matter). It was probably a chance to earn a bit more cash than he would have otherwise, and there was some small chance that maybe he could outbox Kovalev.

Yeah bad KO. The guys still good he has skills. Just chinny. But hate on him? Nah hes still good in my book. Hes entertaining to watch when het gets it going.
