Kovalev by brutal KO. Fonfara's defense won't survive against Kovalev.
I agree, Fonfara has little to no defense. At least from what I saw in last nights fight. Kovalev is technically sound and Fonfara won't be able to walk him down.

A true homeboy. All my people live in the Bay Area, most in San Jose. From 7 trees to blossom hill, Wolfe road and on to Fremont. San Antonio elementary, lee Matheson, independence, then out of the hood to Cal, now Tokyo.
I go back at least once a year, to see my people, post up, burn a few, eat good.
As a kid I lived on Jeannie ave, too much drama, so we moved away to Avalani.
More drama there.
Cool.
But hit me up privately.
Peace bro. Peace!
Man. Just down the street. I went to lee Matheson, because we lived on Avalani ave back then. Cool homie!

Adonis Stevenson is a bigger sheer puncher than Sergey Kovalev is, and Stevenson couldn't put Fonfara out.
Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but folks are seriously exaggerating Kovalev's perceived power.
That's because Adonis only has the left hand and doesn't have anything close to the combinations or finishing ability Kovalev does. It's more than power, it's what you do once that power hurts and Kovalev is much, much better at that than Stevenson. And that's assuming Stevenson hits harder than Kovalev, which I don't think he does.
Last night more than anything else should have been a clear sign of how freakishly hard Kovalev hits. Cleverly wasn't aware of his surroundings after 3 and had to be carried to the corner against Kovalev, yet he took that beating last night for 12 and never came close to going down.
Come on, last night was a good slugfest, but not that good, no knockdows or knockout. were they pillow fisted or is Kovalev that strong?
How come they land almost 600 punches and do ****
i don't think either guy is a big puncher, especially considering that they're LHW, but look at their faces, partciuarly cleverly's...
maybe you had a bad feed. check out the HD pics from bscene
you're not going to see many fighters more beat up than cleverly was at the end of that fight. he looked like a different person. his face will never fully go back to the way it was.
We all saw how Cleverly reacted to Kovalev's shots, I don't care what he says, Kovalev hits WAY harder than Fonfara does. If you replaced Cleverly's punching power with Kovalev's, Fonfara wouldn't have made it to the 5th with all the shots he was taking.
Fonfara is a great boxer but his defense is far too leaky for him to survive the distance against Killa Kov.

The Findley loss when he was still young and growing. He moved up two weight classes since so it's kind of a non-factor.
His chin is proven. It's just that the repeated shots Kovalev lands would have him in trouble if they fought.
Kovalev fight would be more of a prolonged beating than a blast him out affair.
getting stopped by a journeyman middleweight is definitely something to consider when you're talking about fighting the best puncher in boxing not named gennady. did fonfara improve? sure. is he out of the woods against a puncher like kovalev because he grew a bit and polished his style a bit? of course not. it's a factor.
fonfara is just too stiff to last long. he's not going to take enough steam off of kovalev's combinations to stay on his feet.
i don't see that fight going more than 6 rounds.

Aldo, Duva did that? Fonfara earns his money. Pay him fairly.
I noticed you are from San Jose?? Me too, Karl st. Story & king used to be my stomping grounds.
Take it easy. And if you can, share a link about Duva & pennies.

Hard to see a dude with pretty much zero defense beating Kovalev. I suppose it is possible if the guy had an amazing offense but while Fonfara does have a good offense it is certainly not amazing.
Fonfara is a tough dude though and he certainly deserves another crack at the top of the division.
fonfara had his head snapped back hundreds of times last night, if clev had power he would of been in trouble.
fonfara is only competing at this level because of his heart and chin. nothing else.
he get's absolutely destroyed by kovalev, i honestly think it would be a career ender for fonfara, he would take too much punishment and it would be an extremely bloody and nasty beat down on fonfara, mainly due to his heart and chin.
Not unreasonable at all. But I don't think Kovalev is touchable right now. But Fonfara is tough, I just dont think he does anything better than Kovalev.
Maybe this Beterbiev will be the real challenge for Kovalev.
the most important fight in boxing is kovalev vs ward at 175 lbs.
completely different classes of fighter. fonfara doesn't have the craft or the fluidity to get out of the way of the bombs. he's a basic, upright, european fighter.
he got knocked out by a journeyman named derrick findley, who did his best work at middlweight.

and who do we have to blame for hyping up fighters and making them think they are cash cows and top fighters? could it be al haymon? fonfara thinks he's a star because he beat chavez jr and cleverly. the saddest part is pbc fanboys actually believe it as well. well yea of course fonfara should get millions he's fonfara! he only made 400k agaisnt chavez jr but he couldn't accept a fight vs kovalev for prob more vs kovalev? why make excuses for ducking? he's comfortable taking easy fights and being hyped as a star. as long as he pretends kovalev doens't exist he can live out his dream.
Agnew Made 200k vs kov and that was after kov gave him some of his own purse how do you know they even offered fonfara that much. Only 400k? Lol how much did fonfora make vs stevenson. So your problem is that haymon is overpaying fighters, would you rather the fighters get underpaid? That sounds cool
