Then Kovalev connects better on total punches... While Clev connects better his power punches -- unfortunately Clev's power punches don't match Kovalev's...

Actually the punch stats are misleading. Due to Kovalevs propensity to get the early KOs, approximately 1 in 3 of his 'rounds' as counted by compubox is actually about half a round. To get his true figures you need to add about a sixth (approx 17%) to the stats shown, meaning he significantly outlands Clev and throws a little more sheer volume.
