Kovalev has a weak chin.

Perfecr shot right on the button. Did not go down = weak chin?

Even fighters with good chins can get stunned, dazed or knocked down lol

You are right somewhat, I do agree with you BUT, that punch did not hurt Kovalev for only a few seconds. I think that punch had him backing off for the rest of the fight and it was the beginning of the end. It seemed like the punch made him reluctant to stand and fight with Ward and then the end of the fight came shortly after the punch. Kudos to him for not going down from that but that punch definitely hurt him and he felt it for the remainder of the fight.

Obviously that's not what he meant. Kov was hurt by the fight but he was only stunned for a few seconds, just a few second stumble, recuperate, get behind the jab and let recovery time do its work.

He is saying that KOV isn't like most guys here whey they got rocked, it would take a minute for them to get back to his feet.

He probably doesn't have the best chin and is really bothered when things doesn't go his way.

Going through his boxrec, he didn't exactly face the biggest puncher. Need to see how he reacts to Stevenson, gvozdyks or beterbievs shots.

Who hasn't Darnell Boone knocked down? He's put all top 3 light heavyweights on their butts and stopped one of them. The Caparello KD was a balance issue and Ward landed a clean punch right on the button. I'd need to see more than that before that claim can be made.

Weak Heart if he can't knock you out he folds no stamina after 6 and thats what Ward pick up on

[lolpz]

Kovalev beats and probably stops every other light heavyweight not named Andre Ward.


If he stays at light heavy and Ward moves up, come back to this post in a year or two.

Kovalev was hurt... more than you think he was

You know this how exactly?

Who wouldn't be hurt by a good shot straight to the face from a pro boxer. Doesn't mean his chin is weak, it just means he is human...

Yup. I don't care what people think about Ward's power or lack thereof, he's still Andre Ward, the best LHW on the freaking planet. And that was a f**king missile that he landed. Right on the button. Of course it's going to do major damage...do people expect any human being to be able to just walk right through that??

I agree having a good chin is irrelevant when you are a racist crybaby quitter. Andre Ward taught him a lesson on humility and spanked NSB euro fanboys.

Because he got his ass kicked right afterwards
