kov wrecked that poor guy . you know its bad when your face is gushing blood after a minute

i think kov no better or worse than before. kov is very good, andre ward is very, very good.carl froch had far less success against ward than kov did and then after losing had the best run of his career

dream for me is kov-adonis. always thought adonis by ko but i bet it never happens

I'm guessing the Kovalev/Shabranskyy winner will look to be matched with the Barrera/Valera winner this evening...

Yarde too low.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I believe Barrera wants a showdown with Bivol

Easy work for Kovalev, never thought he'd win so early but he was landing the right hand immediately after the opening bell and it was no surprise that was the shot which demolished Shabranskyy, Kovalev looked back to his best, sharp, accurate and punching hard and it was good to see him fight with intent to get Shabranskyy out of there ASAP, some cracker of right hands to deck Shabranskyy, they were flush

[Ruthless-RKO]

Kovalev did get hit a small number of times and lost his footing but that was more balance. He was never hurt with anything.

[Ezzard]

Looks like a great division now. Just hope Ward stays retired.

Barrera fight ruined by ref.

[chinarich]

What on earth is the Eurasian Boxing Parliament? Kovalev was sporting their belt after the fight along with the WBO and IBA....

Been away the last few days.

Any of the undercard worth watching ?

Heard Sosa was robbed against Gamboa. Gamboa is IMO the biggest waste of talent in the past decade still frustrates me to this day Bob Arum letting the Juanma Lopez fight "marinate"
