Kovalev's defense.

Solid defense.

[Larry the boss]

he has yet to fight a top fighter so we do not know how good he really is yet period...but even with who he is fighting he is not hard to hit nor has anyone claimed he was some defensive wizard..if they did they are delusional

I don't know I think Cleverly and Campillio were top fighters or atleast top LHWs when he fought them.

I agree his opposition hasn't been stellar but he's fought a few top guys there so far.

Yeah, let's pretend Campillo wasn't supposed to be unified champ at 175 when he fought Kovalev. (Kovalev was the underdog FYI. Only his 19th fight as well)


Second... You do realize even defensive fighters get hit a lot, right?

[TRTboy]

Because in this forum if you dont roll your shoulders and you are too aggressive you have poor defense.

no defensive fighters do not get hit A LOT.. that is why they are praised for their defense

I'm scared for Kovalevs health if he fights Hopkins next, too many holes in his defense.

I doubt it. Hopkins hasn't had a KO win since what? 2 presidents ago? If anything, age could catch up to Bernard any fight and he is really the one risking his health when he does not have to.

If you're not floyd, fans will say you have **** defense and get hit "at will"
