    "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.
    They've got the Lara syndrome, "ropped by Angulo doe" on Kova with Boone....

      When did Kovalev hit the canvas vs Campillo?

        The ironic thing is that he got back up and finished the fight. Anyone with integrity would recognize the kind of guts that requires. Instead, we have these casuals who religiously follow KO kings until those guys lose, then hop the next bandwagon.

        I've no idea. Sounded suspect so I plan to re-watch tonight to see if it even happened.
        This is the article, entitled, "The Time Kovalev Got Knocked Out"

          He was dropped against Blake Caparello not Campillo, a flash knockdown with the glove touching the canvas

            and? boone was Kovalev's 10th profesional fight, no difference there.

            and are you basing this on a 10 seconds video?

            you are one insufferable alt/troll when are you gonna start posting with your real account?

              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.

                  It was a flash knock down against Caparello.

                    If only Ward could punch like Boone this might be relevant to the upcoming fight.

                      Wasn't Ward green when he fought Boone as well??
