This kind of shows you how far the former LHW king Kovalev has fallen. He was ko'd by Eleider and then won a decision against him. Joe Smith who is a middle of the road LHW who was pretty much dominated by bivol and Barrera, ran through Eleider convincingly.

I think he was starting to decline before the Ward fight Atleast his power.

Kovalev's decline was FROM Ward in my opinion

People were questioning why Kovalev looked so pedestrian against Chilemba. Everyone was expecting an absolute destruction and Kovalev seemed to be struggling a bit to do what her usually did (KO's and/ or beating the crap out of his opponents). That was the first time I seen Kovalev slipping. BUT Chilemba was pretty good defensively.
