Comments Thread For: Kovalev Looks To Take Career To The Next Level

[giacomino]

After this, would like to see Kovalev clean up the division, KOing Stevenson in Canada and beating up the ultimate paper title belt holder, Braehmer in Germany. Not that Braehmer would fight him for $100m, but would like to see it nonetheless

Kovalev W12. Pascal is not mug, Kovalev has boxing skills to go with the power, Pascal will feel the power and get on his bike.

Sergey Kovalev = Undefeated , 26/23 by way of Knock Out , 50% KO's by way of body shots and one KO by way of a pine box and no ones su****ious but me !

Kovalev agreed to do VADA.

What? Pascal? He's like a Brit. Chokes when he ups his game. Won't go ten.

Kovalev agreed to do VADA.

Yeah that's true he did , only under the conditions that Pascal pays for the whole thing . And from what I hear it can put a sizable dent in your wallet .

Well Pascal offered, he was the one pushing for it. VADA is actually the cheapest ($8,000 afaik) which makes Pascal's refusal to pay all the more contrary.

Is Kovalev cheating? It's possible, but he's not avoiding testing so it seems less likely.

Hey weeb , good reply . As we both probably know , if we've been keeping up with the latest testing news , testing by any and all agencies has become a bit antiquated . U have VADA, WADA , KIZER and soooo many others . They all have very different testing measures and most test for completely different things . For example , some no longer even test for HGH anymore because its so easy to beat . Many have moved their focus to looking for artificial testosterone . Athletes who r doping r ahead of the curve and the agency watchdogs are behind the times . It's a bad combination . I can appreciate u being open to Kovalev as a doper as its seems so plausible based on these historic anomalies he's achieving . Usually when I suggest it people lose their minds and come up with the silliest justifications I've ever heard . When I bring up the fact that his body KO's are approx half of his total KO's people don't seem to see that as a red flag .

Then I say this and they get more angry ;

Does anyone on this site besides me realize how much harder u have to be hitting people , amongst ur contemporaries, to have approx 50% of ur KO's coming by way of body shots ? Historically it's never been even close to being reached , not even by heavyweights such as Tyson who put in formittable body work . Ward has incredible body work and I have never seen his stop anyone to the body , and if he has it wasn't many which is strange considering how many of his opponents talk about how strong he is on the inside . Hopkins has been a excellent body puncher his whole career but it was still a rarity to stop De La Hoya the way he did . Now we have GGG and Kovalev doing it every other fight or so . Kovalev merely tapped Caparello to the body and forced him to take a knee . Not to mention he's already killed someone in the ring . I'm not drinking this Kool Aid , u can have at it and enjoy KO after KO till his next opponent dies in the ring as well . Keep cheering it on !
