  • Kovalev-A knockout waiting to happen

    Jesus christ this dude was eating some NASTY shots from Chilemba, at one point it looked like Kov's head literally touched his own back, his head was getting jerked around like a rag doll but he managed to take it pretty well.

    He's been hit with some really wild shots he shouldn't have been hit with, I keep seeing him exposed when he comes in, off balance quite a bit too.
    Even if he does beat Ward, I don't think he'll survive the monsters that will be coming for his titles, Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, Bivol etc.

    His competition's power has been really soft up until this point and Chilemba was the 1st true LHW he's fought since probably Agnew (Caparello moved to 168)

    Opponent KO%'s:

    Chilemba-33%
    x2 Pascal-47% (hasn't ko'd anybody relevant in years)
    Hopkins-48% (last KO was in 2004 against ODLH)
    Ward-52%, yes, Ward is actually the hardest puncher he will have faced in years

    He's been over hyped, it's clear. I always thought Adonis would pick him off using distance and was disappointed when Adonis ducked.

      Chilemba was popping Kova's head back with a straight left jab.
      Ward will handle Kova...

      It was an interesting and illuminating fight.

        You like interesting and illuminating? Just wait until Brook turns the world on it's head.

          People will freak the fk out on you and red k you up and down (some Kov fans are very sensitive) but everything you said is truthful. I still feel that Kovalev is a fantastic fighter but have commented how he plays little defense and his face is always there to hit for anyone who has the gumption to do so. Guess what? I was absolutely right.

          The difference is that Chilemba wasn't 50 years old and was able to actually make himself tricky to hit at times. This gave him the courage, and ability to do what others haven't. The guy still got soundly beat. Make no mistake. But, I think everyone was thinking the same thing, "If that was Ward, this dude would be in serious trouble".
          Kovalev will correct some of these problems. How much he can fix will have to be seen on Nov 19th.

              You forgot to spam me with nasty PMs and visitors messages. You are lazy. Puncr will show you how to do it right.
