If Kovalev wants to brawl, foul, Browne can do that. I'm picking Browne for the upset, possibly by TKO. Once the bully gets punched in the month, his mystique is gone.

I know I've seen Browne at least once or twice and if I remember correctly, he's pretty sharp. Yeah, this will be a pretty tight fight, both guys are similar in size, 3 inch reach advantage for Browne and a 7 year age advantage.

Originally posted by Boxing Logic View PostKaladjdzic had a 76 inch reach, one of the few with a longer reach than Browne's 75.5 inches. Kovalev only has 72.5 inches. Kaladjdzic was also in his prime, Kovalev is not. Kaladjdzic also has pretty good hand speed, which Kovalev used to have, but it's yet to be seen if he still does after his 35th birthday. It looked pretty good the last two fights but not quite as smooth and natural as in his prime, and neither did his legs. And then obviously, his biggest issue at this point is stamina, which has absolutely fallen off a cliff and may be the worst of any titlist in the sport at this point.
Kovalev is still dangerous but he's no longer unbeatable by his contemporaries, despite still having never been legitimately beaten in his career. Even boxers with good habits decline at 33 years old, see GGG. Kovalev has had very bad training habits in the past, and he will be 35 when this fight happens, not 33. You do the math. This is a risky fight for him.

Garcia took a year off and fought
a completely shot fighter, something he's known for doing. But worms like you bring up race
