Ismayl Sillakh has a great chance to beat Kovalev

[Malik Kaya]

So ive been checking the boards recently and all i read is how Kovalev will destroy the African Ukrainian but here is how i see it.

Sillakh is very underrated, he is slick and has very good hand- and footspeed, Kovalev so far looked great against guys that stood there and tried to outdog him, Cleverly is an unathletic moron who tried to trade with Kovalev and got his ass handed to him.
Sillakh was easily outboxing Grachev until he got ****y and tried to clown him.
If the African Ukrainian stays calm and uses his speed and angles, he has a very good chance to pull the upset.

Thoughts?

Look, He's a good fighter... but people are very turned off by him because of his KO loss. We now question his chin and if he knows what to do when he's hurt because he looked clueless.
If it wasn't for Kovalev's power and Ismayl's chin... people wouldn't be ragging him so hard

I know people call him the black Russian but the African Ukrainian? Lmao

Sillakh is highly skilled and a very good boxer, IF Kovalev disposes of him easily or in the way that he did Cleverly/Campillo/White, he should get credit and I hope people don't call Sillakh a bum (regardless of the glass chin)

Thats how he calls himself in interviews.

[The Gambler1981]

He fights too open and his defenses/reflexes aren't that good that he can Roy Jones decent fighters.

Being there to be hit against Kovalev is not a good way to beat him unless a guy is super tough which Sillahk isn't, he might be made of tougher stuff than he showed against Grachev but I don't think he is going from tin to titanium~

Bad attempt at trying to be funny IMO

the only problem of Sillakh is his chin, then he is the most talent LHW. but Kovalev has good power. is a 50/50 fight in my opinion

Pretty much it, if he was tested and verified for having a solid chin he might be the favorite but that is not the case.
