People will freak the fk out on you and red k you up and down (some Kov fans are very sensitive) but everything you said is truthful. I still feel that Kovalev is a fantastic fighter but have commented how he plays little defense and his face is always there to hit for anyone who has the gumption to do so. Guess what? I was absolutely right.
The difference is that Chilemba wasn't 50 years old and was able to actually make himself tricky to hit at times. This gave him the courage, and ability to do what others haven't. The guy still got soundly beat. Make no mistake. But, I think everyone was thinking the same thing, "If that was Ward, this dude would be in serious trouble".
Kovalev will correct some of these problems. How much he can fix will have to be seen on Nov 19th.
