GGG knocked Kovalev out in sparring - JDJ confirms

[New England]

Going from 160 to 175 with no tuneup worked out just fine for the last great middleweight (Benard hopkins) and he was a middleweight longer than 10 years

Remember that?

he went up against an aging antonio tarver who had just come down from playing a HW for a movie. hopkins was also very clearly struggling to make weight at teh end of his run at MW. his discipline was second to none in the era outside of floyd mayweather. and he'd lost twice at the MW limit and was moving up anyway.

didn't have the biggest fight in boxing waiting for him at MW, either.


and he's also, you know, a bonafide legend and one of the 50 best boxers ever, and did something special when he won the LHW title in his 40's.

Not really a big deal, Kovalev was out of shape on the first day in the gym. Not really surprised a dude like GGG dropped him.

[Rip Chudd]

knocked down without getting up in 10 seconds = knocked out.

at no point in the video was that said. Just admit your title is misleading, cause none of the stuff you are saying was in the video. He was knocked down by a shot, that's it.

I swear it's like you are hearing what you want to hear instead of what was said. You remind me of my wife

At which point did he say he was down for 10 seconds or longer?

This is sparring, if you go down, theyre not giving you a count. They almost always stop the sparring and pull the guy out. It happens

Understood but that's in response to only needing to be down for 10 seconds.

We have no idea how long Kovalev was down from the body shot.

If anything, Jackson said that Kovalev wasn't hurt by the shot which would imply he likely wasn't down for 10 seconds.

Unless you're in the Mayweather gym. Instead, they dance around you and ****.

There's always an exception to every rule but that doesn't mean it's the norm.

Am I the only one who feels like Kov & JDJ don't really like each other but are together because of the sucess they have found together
