Kovalev has a weak chin.

Look at how Ward dragged himself back into the first fight after being dropped (incidently I still think Kovalev won that one!) compared to how Kovalev folded in the second. Ward has more fight in him IMO. I don't care what people say about Ward, he's got massive heart, and belief in himself, kovalev did not expect him to get up, or thought he'd have him after that kd and he was dead wrong....serGAY should've listened to Jackson instead of being a d1ckhead to him and he might've won. Ward will ALWAYS be superior to kovalev no matter what though. That fight ruined kovalevs career. I believe he's done at the top level.

I called it that he would quit, and he did...but yes, you're right about not having the heart Ward has.

You know this how exactly? Because he got his ass kicked right afterwards

Weak Heart if he can't knock you out he folds no stamina after 6 and thats what Ward pick up on I agree having a good chin is irrelevant when you are a racist crybaby quitter. Andre Ward taught him a lesson on humility and spanked NSB euro fanboys.

Who wouldn't be hurt by a good shot straight to the face from a pro boxer. Doesn't mean his chin is weak, it just means he is human... Yup. I don't care what people think about Ward's power or lack thereof, he's still Andre Ward, the best LHW on the freaking planet. And that was a f**king missile that he landed. Right on the button. Of course it's going to do major damage...do people expect any human being to be able to just walk right through that??

Kovalev was hurt... more than you think he was You know this how exactly?

Kovalev beats and probably stops every other light heavyweight not named Andre Ward. If he stays at light heavy and Ward moves up, come back to this post in a year or two.

Who hasn't Darnell Boone knocked down? He's put all top 3 light heavyweights on their butts and stopped one of them. The Caparello KD was a balance issue and Ward landed a clean punch right on the button. I'd need to see more than that before that claim can be made.

He probably doesn't have the best chin and is really bothered when things doesn't go his way. Going through his boxrec, he didn't exactly face the biggest puncher. Need to see how he reacts to Stevenson, gvozdyks or beterbievs shots.

Perfecr shot right on the button. Did not go down = weak chin? Even fighters with good chins can get stunned, dazed or knocked down lol

Rather than a "weak chin" I think the reality is that Kovalev doesnt have the intestinal fortitude that Ward has. I also think that Kovalev lacked the natural fighters instinct to foul Ward back instead of waiting for the ref. Maybe not the bad-ass he thinks he is?

Those low blows softened him up for the miracle right hand...then more low blows after that right to end the fight....if anything he has weak nuts.

Dem Russians b cheatin'

I taught Boone knock down ward aswell

nah he doesn't and he recovered that was a horrific stoppage, stunk of either corruption, favoritism or some of the worst incompetence ive seen from a ref

But according to kovalev he "hits like a girl", so he shouldn't have gotten hurt right?

Are peeps still talking or looking out for/about Kovalev?? :nono:

I hate to say it, but I think Kovalev has a weak chin. He was dropped by Darnell Boone, and got badly rocked by Ward, who isn't known for his power. He also got KO'd in the amateurs. -Boone is a bad example, he dropped the top 3 guys in the division ( beating 1) -Ward hit him with a textbook perfect shot and he took it. Shots like that KO people That's the Ams anything can happen.
