Kovalev is too reliant on the right hand

[5burowz]

In addition to his excellent stiff jab, majority of big hurtful punches in this fight came from left hand. He also threw his key punch against Campillo with left.

How many left hooks did he throw compared to right hands?

I don't see why throwing more of one punch than the other means he's too reliant on the more frequently thrown punch. He consistently threw jabs that were mixed to the head and body, he hurt Pascal with the left hook-jab hybrid that he regularly throws and also hurt Campillo, Cleverly, and Agnew with, and even the right hand was alternating between straight shots and more hook-like blows around the guard.

x2.

Apparently to be well rounded you need to alternate which punch you use the most in every fight.
