Bivol not having everything his way. here.
He's really let off the gas in the late rounds. Weird. Surprised hbo hasn't speculated about a hurt hand. Chilemba almost keeping him at range with 2 and 3 pieces and that experience.
2-0 Kovalev. Alvarez focused but closed in corners. Kov jab to body on point. Early 3rd Alvarez has some snap on his punches!
Alvarez on his own jab 3rd. Looks comfortable now. Kov bringing more hooks now 2-1
Kellerman has Alvarez with shut out :-X.
Big 4th for Kov.
Big trades. Alvarez weathers it and stands ground. Both trading hard jabs and Kovalev coming underneath and broke his stride. Completive hard 4th
Was falling asleep then rd4 woke me up
Nose of Alvarez starting to marinate off that left hand of Kovalev. Getting caught more than he may need now
Power boxing 6th for Kov.
5-1 Kov.
:o Ruh roh Kov in a car wreck and hurt badly!! Brutal right by Alvarez..wow!
Alvarez drops Kov 3 times to finish it.
Surprize surprize
How about that?
Hated seeing it..but THAT was an awesome turn around. Alvarez sparked him brutally!
Love it. My Brain had Sergey wining this after rd 4. It was wrong.
@Fenster called it.
Wowzers in me trousers... Kovalev vodka drinking might have really worn him out now tired attempt at a left hook when alvarez landed the big right, I think kovalev has aged badly. also think he got up too quick after knock downs silly git.
Fun result though
14/1 for the stoppage!!! Lovely jubbley.Quote:

14/1 for the stoppage? Nice. Picking Alvarez got me $200 and a ounce of dopeQuote:

It’s over for Kov at 175.
Can he move up to cruiserweight?
Maybe we'll see Bivol vs. Alvarev next, or maybe in 2019?
Props to Kovalev, he's a real ring warrior who went out on his shield tonight.
He had a very nice run for several years, beating a lot of good opponents like Cleverly. But he hasn't been the same since he was robbed in that first fight with Ward and also age is catching up with him.
Great to see that racist piece of shit KO'd!!
Seems Kovaliev has a drink problem could be just like Pavilik.!
Talent but the demon drink has a hold apparently.
Kovalev was winning, but he was a bit off. it makes you wonder if it is true about his training. Always seems to struggle after 6 rounds. If he is going the Pavlik route then maybe a rematch and then out as he cannot improve his stamina at 35.
