U said that to say what?

Should've rolled better with the punches and not take the bulk of the damage on one targeted spot.

To the person who says he is not that kind of fighter.. there are more fighters who strategically roll than you may believe. Not all of them use the arm on the waist, hold the phone stance either.

Probably would 've lost. But how come nelos opponents not at their best? I want to see nel o not at his best and win

I've always wondered about the lack of deliberate arm-punching in boxing. No, they aren't scoring shots, but as we saw in this fight (and a few others, I just can't remember them at this moment), if a fighter hits hard enough, they'll at least hurt like fuck! – and likely get them to drop their guard.

I know Kovalev was told to hit Hopkins on the arms.

It's not illegal to target the arm, so........
