Sillakh is a highly-skilled, slick boxer with one punch KO power. He's been underrated since the loss to Grachev, who he had been easily outboxing during the fight until the stoppage.

However, Kovalev is a beast and I'm still picking him to win on Saturday. Sillakh was stopped in the amateurs by Beterbiev and others, so if Kovalev can find his chin without being KOed in the process, he'll win.
I agree with all of this, I just think Sillakh's chin will let him down, I don't he will be able to keep Kovalev off him the whole fight. Sooner or later I feel Kovalev will catch him
I agree. I think Sillakh will do well in the early rounds but Kovalev will eventually catch up to him.
