He had three 12 round fights and in all he finished strong, better then his opposition. He throws above division average and hits lot harder then most. Plus he moves and faints constantly. I think has excellent stamina. He is though a bit too tentative in some fights, like in Ward and Hopkins. He was not at all gassed against Ward and I am sure could have work more if he understood the situation or if he had a better corner advice. One way I see him beating Stevenson is to stop him late because of his better stamina.

maybe he had good stamina in the past, but who cares about the past. present is present. and in present time he couldnt close the show against ward and gased against ward. had he had very good stamina, than ward would have had mayor problems, because kov would have attacked more, go for the finish ones he got ward hurt and ward was hurt several times, early, in mid rounds and late in the fight. ggg who has incredible stamina would have pressured the action and earned a late round tko.

i think poor refereeing made him gas early, it is a boxing match not wrestling

Dont think he gases out at all. I.was surprise that Sergey could out box Ward from The Outside. Sergey is a very good boxer he just failed to Close The Show vs Ward and was outworked on the inside by the smaller man whom was moving up in weight = not a good look to the judges
