Sergey Kovalev vs Eleider Alvarez II

[Kirkland Laing]

Alvarez coming in to AC/DC.

[Spicoli]

Lets be honest...once Duva started using airtime to promote "Krusher" socks and t shirts we started to wonder about the long game. I hope he flattens Alvarez. But Alvarez has seen this movie and that jab before.

[ruthless rocco]

Kovalev dirty from the start...

[Fenster]

McGirt still using "don't worry about the crowd," I used to think it was specifically for Gatti

[Spicoli]

1-0 Alvarez. Kov left leaning forward way more than he's accustomed to. One thing Alvarez can do is switch gears quickly.

[Fenster]

I'll translate Alravez corner - "don't do shit until he gets tired"

[Spicoli]

Some very nice volleys from Kov 4th, he's rolling them off varying the pop and owns round.

[Spicoli]

Oh Jebus Buddy leaves him in corner with "keep the faith"

[powerpuncher]

I have it 5-1 for Kovalev. He is controlling the pace of the fight so far. Obviously the score isn’t that significant because we are all waiting for Alvarez to catch him eventually once Kovalev tries out.

[powerpuncher]

Generally I don’t think that mcgirt is a great trainer but so far he has done good work with Kovalev. Kovalev has paced himself well

[Spicoli]

Bit odd. What they've done is talk us into Alvarez pressing-waiting for KO punch again while being out boxed by Kov last few rounds. How lanes change in this sport

[powerpuncher]

Alvarez made a mistake this fight in thinking that Kovalev was going to fight the same way. He has just been looking for the knockout and now he is way down in the fight

[Spicoli]

Kovalev power boxed his ears in 9th. Pure and simple. That was good quality work.

[powerpuncher]

I am honestly shocked that Kovalev is doing so well. I thought that he would be mentally broken, but he completely surprised me. The fight isn’t over yet though.

[Fenster]

surprised Kov has mentally kept it together, totally outclassed Alvarez
