    I'd probably pick Kov to outbox him considering Bek only has 20 professional rounds experience.

    I have bad luck picking the more experienced guy though so maybe Costanza method pick time.

      kov style all wrong for him.

      Bek like to bounce in and out and I think he will run into kov jab often

        When they are as old as Kov I feel you lol. And the Constanza method would have done great for me on the UFC last week.

        The bet to me is Kov, but the move to me is probably to pass betting on that fight entirely cuz you got an old guy vs a inexperienced guy & I don't feel very hyped for either at those odds. It's a great fight for the pick em game doe.

          The few fights I reviewed of Bek I noticed he likes keeping his hand down. On the other hand, Kovalev, even in his prime, has a very suspect chin. I want to say Kovalev will win due to Bek’s style looking like a KO waiting to happen. But Kovalev has always been chinny, it would be interesting to see how he takes Bek’s punches.

            They say the least thing to go is a fighters power & I feel Kovalevs power has gone. I get the argument he has been fighting at a high level but he looks considerably less dynamic and I don't see the snap on his punches he once had. People might scoff but in his last 7-8 fights post Ward 1 actually he has not only looked on a rapid decline but I've just not got the impression I am looking at a big puncher in the slightest. I know he stopped Yarde with a jab but he was so exhausted a gust of wind would have put him over at that point.

            Not impressed with The Bek bully but I think he probably gets it done & puts the final nail in the coffin.
            Kovalev is well & truly shot. Glass jaw, can't take it to the body & his stamina has always been subpar.
