Granted I've only seen kovalev 4 times but he's really impressed me.
Campillo was in bad shape for that fight though. Not saying it wasn't a good win, but I don't think we saw the best Campillo that night.
That's the first I heard of him being in bad shape, he looked to me like he usually does.
Yes, I believe he had visa issues into right before the flight and didn't fly in from Spain until a couple of days prior to the fight, and allegedly was jet lagged etc. I might be mistaken but he might also have had a flu. I now there was a red flag in betting circles on him before the fight.
