Thread: Andre. Looking like Kovalev/Caparello brother

Don't think I've see the Aussie fight beyond Muriqi.

I know Kovalev is good is Caparello?

I have the same question Master. I've seen the fight get trashed by a few boxing writers saying it's a "joke" and a "waste of time". But not knowing the guy I'd like to hear from someone whose opinion I respect on the matter. If I hear he's got talent I'll go watch some tape.

I don't envy anybody who faces Kovalev, all his punches seem to hurt his opponents
he is a guy who, just gets the job done by a KO.

He's decent, stays mobile enough but swats and pushes some of his punches. Bit of a cutey southpaw with low hands. Stays tight when on ropes and can roll and slip but has been dropped with a sloppy left by Letoa and was also stung by Muriqui late with a left hook. Had a bad habit of retreating to corners in that one for no reason what so ever. From the fights I watched cannot see him hanging with Kovalev at all, having the punch and continually rolling left into a bad bad neighborhood of Kovalevs right hand. Definitely two different levels.
