I think Kovalev has some of the best selection on punches going today...and they all hurt
Always nice to see a guy win the fight by persisting with a punch that most fighters don't use enough.
I would like to see Kovalev learn to circle and pivot out. It would help him set up more of his offense and avoid going straight back at the same time.
bwahahahaha! "adonis stevensen, P.O.S!" I love it. No translation needed...
I didn't find it all that impressive tbh. I scored it for a buddy who never had access at his work.Quote:

3-Kov starting to come on nicely but seems a little off to me. His rd. Agnew trying to fight back to his credit.
4-Kov got a bad gash from a butt. His round again but its a nasty cut. He got a little angry and fell apart a bit. Bit of a bad style match up.
5- Kov's round again but he's getting a little careless. They seem to have control over the cut.
6- Kov got another kd and may have another cut. Agnew complained about the kd and it was questionable but it was Kovs round again anyway. I think Kov may have looked past Agnew a bit and may have a had a little to much fun on this trip.
7-Kov gets the tko
I just got finished posting for round six and he stopped him lol. It was a good win but Kov did not look the same to me. Almost a little lethargic.
Hahah, Kovalev: "I don't want to talk about Adonis, he is a piece of shit" ;D
I did laugh out loud but at Max's stunned look.Quote:

His jab was varied, when the guard was solid upstairs he opened to body. He smashed a overmatched but ballsy defensive minded foe.Quote:

Yeah I suppose that's true in a sense. He showed some kinks in that indestructible tag he seems to carry around though. Its hard not to dominate with a guy like that but I just found his performance a little flat.Quote:

Its tough to put a guy away who's so defensively minded as he sees all the shots coming and kovalev did it in 7 and good thing to since I talked him up to my bud.
I know what you're saying, Kovalev did what we expected but not in his usuall borderline spectular fashion.Quote:

We don't always need a Wilder walking through no names with defenses made of wet bread ;D He showed adjustment and adaptability to a strong defense..and got 1,2 rounds more then usual. I just can't see a thing to rake him on.Quote:

Damn. All I said is that he looked a little flat and seemed human. How that is being overly critical is puzzling to say the least.
I meant in the sense that when the worst thing we can say about a dude is he looked flat while winning every round handily still then were sort of just looking to critique in some way. Nothing against you or your comment iaminuit you're one of my favorite posters on hereQuote:

He was a little too frontal true but think it was more over eagerness. Agnew was showing signs of feeling it. He did settle though.Quote:
