In case you harlots missed it, here's the Kovalev knockout of Cornelius White. Kovalev is trained by John David Jackson.
He looks like bruiser. Cleverly - Kovalev anyone?

Did a whole rbr thread on this last night . He really dropped the hammer on him.
He's what we need more of. Impressed so far but I won't go overboard like Freddy Roach (he is the best prospect in boxing today) . Very solid arsenal of combo punching and doesn't fall in love with one but resets and stays focused. Hell of a finisher. Called out Hopkins lastnight "because I want to touch him in the ring" Have to love that.
Here's a post fight interview with Kovalev & JD Jackson.

I'd like to see Hopkins-Kovalev...but I doubt it happens Kovalev is one of those high risk, low reward type of fighters.
On a side note, Sergey's old amateur rival Matvey Korbov fought on the Garcia-Lopez undercard, stopping the very durable Ossie Duran in 3.
IBF Ordered Hopkins to fight Kovalev if he wants to keep his belt. I wonder if he'll do it.
Just caught his response...he accepts it and "looks forward to it".
I'm going to go somewhere I never have in Hopkins entire run...I think Kovalev wears him down and knocks him out He's young in career but its a horrendous style for a pure boxer, let alone one near 50. I'm always weary of hype...but this smells like trouble.
I read Kovalev-Cleverly is close. I think that's a great match-up too.
