sylla vs korvelov... anyone excited?

[bigstinkybug]

im really looking forward to this fight... to me, it's got to be one of the best matchups that no one knows about... other than the heavyweight match-up the otherday of Perez vs Gabo(cant remember the guys name)... but im looking forward to this weeks card, just wondering if anyone else was...

That is the fight I'm looking forward to most.

They are both Russians. This is a good fight. Does Sillakh have enough power to keep Kovalev off him?

[Freedom]

Sillakh is actually the worst possible opponent for Kovalev (bad style matchup, high-risk, not much to gain since Sillakh is underrated now).

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
