A little off topic, but still relevant to the discussion, EGOSWORLD made this embarrassing video trying to compare Brand and Chilemba like they're the same thing because they're big underdogs...
Neglecting the fact that Chilemba is 10 years younger, is higher ranked, 5 inches taller, and is a natural 175 lber.
Chiemba lost his last fight (could've gone either way) and has a draw with OOstehuzahen (sp) and a loss and draw Bellew, the best names he's fought. He also beat Miranda and Grachev, probably the next best guys. I don't see this as a particularly tough fight. Kov KO 10.
Isaac Chilemba has to completely dominate Kovalev to get UD in Russia but he doesn't have enough pressure for that plus he will be avoiding getting hit and that will make him look uncomfortable in some episodes of the fight that's why he won't get an UD. And he doesn't have enough power to KO Sergey either. Anyway, I expect the fight to be competitive and Chilemba will expose a lot of holes in Kovalev defense. Kovalev TKO from 10 to 11 rounds. Not a clear KO since Chilema got a solid chin. Maybe UD. I'm typing this to check if my prediction was right later

Chilemba got robbed against Bellew in England, and let's not forget, Bellew is now a champ at CW.
Chilemba has never decisively lost a fight. He's looked good against other East Europeans such as Vlasov and Lepikhin.
