Fight with Barrera should be good

Kovalev looked good against a stationary guy, coming forward working off a shit jab. His opponent was ripe for a right had counter and Kovalev didn't even have to look for it. Perfect comeback opponent, time will tell where Kovalev really is once he actually has face a bit of adversity again.crow wrote: ↑26 Nov 2017, 03:51Well, how did that prediction turn out...NateJR wrote: ↑14 Nov 2017, 07:14 I expect to see a broken man. As big of a bully as Kovalev is, he doesn't seem to be the most mentally of strong people out there. He just seems to be one of those people, that once he gets taken off the throne, he just doesn't get back to the form that put him on top.
Kovalev is a recipe for disaster from here on out. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he ends up losing again in the near future to someone he would have stream rolled prior to the Ward fights. I'm quite confident that Stevenson would knock him out at this point, but damn I still really, really want to see that fight.
I believe i saw improvements: Kovalev's learning to stand his ground and slip then counter, instead of just using his legs to get away from punches.
Pity he waited that long.
