Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev Knocks Cedric Agnew Out in Seven

I never want to see Agnew again. I thought Joshua Clottey turned southpaw and put on 20 pounds.

Agree......i never want to see this guy ever again no where near a boxing ring.

Good win against a good fighter that came to win. I'm sure the Kovalev fanboys are creamin' in their panties about how awesome he looked. But he definitely showed some holes in his game that could be exploited by better fighters at or around his division. Good fighter. Strong as hell and hits like a mule.

Again, what fight are you guys watching? This dude did not come fight....he came to get survived and collected his money and leave. Anyone who stands to take so much punishment from a heavy puncher came to lose.

The dude is probably more disappointed in Kovalev for not knocking him out sooner so he could go home. I am tired of seeing these non-ambitious so-called boxers talk their way into paydays. It was embarrassing stuff from Agnew. Again, let me reiterate my point, no one stands and takes this amount of punishment from a puncher and convinces me he comes to win. NO ONE!

If this is true, then wouldn't Agnew stay down in Round 2 when he was dropped hard by the left hand?

Seriously you're reaching here.

Kovalev should have mentioned that he has not seen any videos of agnew, he had no game plan against agnew.
Jackson said ths was gonna be practice against a pure boxer with solid defense.

Read my past post's when it comes to my thoughts on Kovalev - Good fight and win for him. He had to make adjustments, he got cut, suffered a low blow or 2, had to fight backing up occasionally. People on here criticizing his performance do not realize that Kovalev learned a lot from this fight! Agnew came to win..Agnew gave him looks he has never seen, Agnew made him go 7 instead of 4 - Kovalev was breathing pretty hard, so that's what I feel he needs to work on, tho you only experience this in a real fight I think this is his only weakness that I can detect so far, I normally don't give him props, but he finally showed ME what he's made of. See its easy to look good when cats lay down or are there for your punches to connect. Kovalev had to figure dude out!

[megas30]

Are you agreeing with me? I'm confused. Even going down 3 times in 7 rounds he never panicked and he had a tight defense lowering Kovalev's connect rate to 25%. His defense was good but not good enough. And Agnew's offense was atrocious, like I said the only memorable punch he threw all night was the low blow.

His defense was as horrible as his offense. The guard he tried to use was wide open, and he was eating straight rights through it. Agnew was garbage all around. He should never step near a boxing ring again!

Another demolition job. Forget the straps, Kovalev is the best at 175.

Agnew doing his best Clottey v Pacquaio performance.

If this is true, then wouldn't Agnew stay down in Round 2 when he was dropped hard by the left hand?

Seriously you're reaching here.

If that is not the case then he must have came to die....dude stood there eating shots from a big puncher without throwing, so please explain his plans and the advantage of eating those punches?

For Tweedle dee and Tweedle dumb, who would say "Ah, but Kovalev doesn't box enough or show "great defense," when a man can hit that hard, why would he waste his time playing touch-and-go or playing miss-me?
