Kovalev's defense.

[VG_Addict]

I've heard several people say Kovalev has poor defense. What makes them say this?

[King_]

Blind hatred.



Kovalev has a good defense. He is a complete fighter. Ask Max Kellerman if he has a good defense


Kovalev has as good as a defense as possible for a offensive minded fighter who comes forward like he does

[bojangles1987]

I think it's decent for his style. He's not exactly hard to hit though.

[Beercules]

They hate to see a slick white fighter on top.

[Weebler I]

Maybe it's because he's not a defensive fighter, they say the same things about Golovkin.

Come-forward fighters can't win when it comes to defence because they're always going to ship a few shots.

[RightJab]

Because they found him easy to hit, thus coming to that conclusion based on that principle.
Naturally coming forward and being a ko artist naturally, you'll get clipped, common sense no?

Did you physically hear this said information from several people? If so whom are the several?

He doesn't have a poor defense imho. Its fine taking into consideration on his style.
Might not be a 'great' D but poor?

Again, whom are the several people you've heard from (not read), heard, thus you used them things called ears you have and they spoke upon to you. You did use the terminology "heard"...... Had said humans fight/spar with him or literal ringside views/recon?

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

More holes than Pavlik? Nope.
Hopkins older and slower. Yup.

Scared about Kovalev's health if he fights Hopkins? Nope.
