Relevant quotes;
"... Kovalev has tasted the canvas on two separate occasions in the pro ranks, a la Darnell Boone (2010) and Gabriel Campillo (2013)."
"Russia’s Kovalev (29-0-1, 26 KOs) barely survived to beat Boone by split-decision after getting knocked down in 2010."
Boone himself; "I floored Kovalev 4 times. They took it from me."
"This was a great learning experience for Kovalev, who was sent to canvas for the first time in his career in round seven but stood up to win victory."
I'm not bashing Kovalev at all. I really like him as a fighter. I've just seen guys here swear up and down that Kov never got dropped.Comment

I've no idea. Sounded suspect so I plan to re-watch tonight to see if it even happened.

Yes, and there's no footage of it. I saw an actual bounty posted on another site if someone can find Boone-Kovalev I footage. I've tried, and I'm pretty good. No luck.
As for the knockdown(s), Kovalev was extremely green. He wasn't with JDJ or even Sanchez then.Comment
