KO Kovalev. I don't have anyone beating him at 175, unless Ward returns.

Duva is a garbage promoter. No wonder she pays guys $1 checks. Atlantic City is beyond dead

decent fight for kovalev..has abit of a problem with southpaws but his boxing ability and punch power should see him through..alvarez is a live dog though..kovalev's taking on a fighter ducked by stevenson for whatever reason..credit to both fighters for stepping up..very decent fight

KO Kovalev. I don't have anyone beating him at 175, unless Ward returns with his illegal boxing and judges/reffs in his pocket.

Fixed it for you.

Good fight. Maybe we'll finally get Stevenson vs. Kovalev after they both handle their business

[gingerbreadman]

Decent fight. Kovalev inside 7 unless he's lost a step.

K.OLD Kovalev. His stamina has been a giant weakness for every single one of his last FOUR fights that have gone rounds. He looks there for the taking to me. Ward fought him at the right time, which IMO was no accident, he would not have fought him at all otherwise, that's how these frauds do it, only fighting old or otherwise disadvantaged opponents then complaining when they don't get the same credit that TRUE all time greats did when they beat TRUE elite PRIME opponents.

I will agree though, there are still few more dangerous in the sport for the first 3 rounds of a fight than Kovalev. The problem is, once opponents know that they can win so long as they just survive the first 3 rounds, they just fight to survive that long. Plus, even prime Kovalev needed more than 3 rounds to get rid of Pascal, and he didn't get rid of Hopkins at all, meaning that even in his prime he was always dependent on good stamina to keep the attack going into the mid rounds for him to knock out top guys. Now that he lacks that stamina, I think it's a big problem for him.

Anyway, this fight is cool but I'm even more interested in Bivol's opponent. Can we get Bivol-Browne on the undercard?
