    Sometimes it hits far back behind the ear, but most of the time he loops it to the back of the head.

    My wife who is a fake boxing fan kept mentioning the same thing how the wolverine looking guy is throwing shots to the back and holding down the head.

    A concussive puncher who throws illegal shots is pretty tough to deal with. I cant see anybody in the division beating him now.

    Bivol is nothing special but I can see him surviving 12 rds since he knows how to stink out the joint.

    Kovalev is too shaky right now to hang with Beterbiev. It would be an ugly, humiliating beatdown.

          There’s a simple way to avoid that
          Leaning back and come back with a counter

            Yeah he did, I hope it wasn't on purpose but Gvozdky was dropping and turning his head on the inside

                I noticed it too, made me sick to my stomach. No more warnings, straight point deductions needed

                    Strange...I didn't hear Teddy complain about this. I looked to me like Gvozdyk was ducking and Beterbiev was trying to catch him at the side of the head, of course, knowing there is the possibility of a behind the head contact when someone is ducking like that
