This one really has a sit up straight and stfu appeal! Great mutual power a'flyin. I think Kovalev thumps him down like driving a telephone pole into the ground and gets the tko. He's a far better long power boxer and sets little subtle traps for a guy. Stevenson is hell coming forward but Kovalev has power that sits on you like a ton of weights. It lingers and I think Stevenson would unwravel when forced backward.

But, as much as I like Kovalev in fairness..who's hit him When has he proven he can absorb a huge bomb . He had Campillo and Clevery throwing punches from the backseat early and not believing in any sort of power. Playing devils advocate we all know Stevenson got sparked, we also know he was able to fully come back and shake the ghosts. It's a Hell of first case of pure puncher for Kovalev to be chin checked by.
