    Kovalev seems to be open for the counter down the middle if he's too hellbent on seeking and destroying. (The shame of it is no single punch has ever given him too much to think about... yet. Pascal landed hard fight hand counters and Caparello scored an off balance knock down) but nothing neither kept kovalev from resuming the hunt.

    He's at his best when he's already leery of the the attack. He approaches carefully and steps back and throws the right hand over the jab and has a knack for temple shots too. For all those fighters looking to land those counters right down the middle and licking their chops, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket on hopes that those opportunities will always be there. I think Jackson would work on closing that up or minimizing the window with the jabs to the body. Especially because he should know how glaringly obvious that looked to everyone including the stevenson camp and how well it would line up with Supermans bread and butter straight left if Kovalev lines himself up for it trying to drop Stevenson like Fonfara did. Stevenson's straight left would more than likely be inside the Charging Kovalevs straight right and get there first.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    I think Bhop explained how Pascal lands shots, because of how unpredictable they are. His starting point wouldn't flow with where the punch ends up.

    IMO that is why Pascal landed. I also like Kovalev's explanation on boxingscene where he said Pascal threw wild shots, to which he did.

    Kovalev got hit because he fought a good fighter with alot of experience who took chances (stuff we dont see at HW). It almost sounds like you guys want him to have a Mayweather defense.

    Kovalevs is a hard puncher no doubt and a work in progress. Good progress so far.

    I'm not saying he should have a mayweather like defense. I'm just saying theres and obvious hole there. Pascal landed there, Caparello landed there, Hopkins landed there...It gets overlooked because Kovi eventually waded through their offense and conquered. So if that's my fighter, I close the hole or minimize the window of opportunity by managing his angles, distance or the set position of the other fighter by having him keeping them from setting....Mostly because I know if I was training the other guy.. that counter is exactly where I would look to have my fight start snowballing offensive opportunities from. Easy way to keep a guy from teeing off on you is not give him and opportunity to start.

    Kovi has a great chin, but he'll last longer by not relying on it. Pascal relied on his chin and you saw where that got him. Just sayin..

    Both Kovalev and GGG have scary power. Monstrous punchers.

    Kov is not just a great boxer, but he is a premier FIGHTER. Some guys have skill, like that Ismail Sillakh he bombed out a year or so ago. But he was clearly NOT a fighter. Kov is a great boxing technician and he is a FIGHTER... he has spirit.
