Because he has had a good career and it is nice to see an older fighter still winning well. I'm a fan, but simply didn't get to see this one live. Have since watched and apart from a sloppy round 7 and 8 he looked mostly in control. Kind of doing a Calzaghe in refining his career towards the end by being a bit more calculated. But totally different styles. They change for different reasons. Kovalev hasn't got long now.
