The weakness of Eastern Euro boxers is that they cannot fight inside.
When Ward went inside against Kovalev and got all up in his sht he folded.
When Canelo came forward and invaded GGG’s space, Lil G backtracked for the 1st time.
When Salido came inside on Loma, even the great nomaschenko panicked.
These Soviet boxers have great range control and jabs, and look like invincible machines on the outside.
But once you take it inside, they aren’t comfortable fighting you there. They need distance. And if you can keep up the pressure, they crack.
