Is this not the exact same shot Ward hit Kovalev with?

[SugarRayCurtain]

he gets lazy with the left jab especially in the later rounds when hes tired
Doesnt help he also has long arms so it takes more time for his left to come back to his chin after fully extended, not that he ever does that anyway since his hands are mostly down.

[VatoMulatto]

Similar but still not the same.

Kind of, but not really. Ward caught him completely unprepared on the chin. He kind of saw the Alvarez punch coming and braced, but it was a hard temple shot.

Kovalev's shoulder actually took some of the force out of the shot last night. If it hadn't caught his shoulder first, he may not have got up from that shot.
