Sergey will be dangerous early and perhaps build a fairly big lead on the judges’ scorecards during the first half of the bout. The Russian might even hurt or floor the champion at some point in time during the contest.

However, Alvarez knows he has the power to hurt Kovalev and I feel he’ll gain ownership of the winning momentum of the fight from round six onwards, which is when I’d expect Krusher to start fading, with Eleider inevitably emerging victorious by scoring a late stoppage.

That being said, Sergey Kovalev is capable of scoring an upset! But he’d need to actually listen to his new trainer, Buddy McGirt, make a few small adjustments, box smarter and safer, then this might be his last hurrah, meaning that the Krusher is certainly capable of winning this fight by decision, but he’d have to manage his stamina levels carefully in order to accomplish this remarkable feat. I just think that Sergey to too set in his ways to make these necessary changes, but I could be wrong.

LOL! Doesn't refer to Kov as the "the Russian." Not colloquial enough I think.

I also remember this and it’s the same username if I’m not mistaken. EO is a sick puppy.

Double checked, yes, verlitched means illuminated in Dutch. Enlightened/illuminated. Lol!

Gvozdyk and Bivol - very likely, but Beter will lose. Actually Alvarez looked better, than Beter.

Onetimeonly wrote: ↑02 Feb 2019, 12:44 Kovalev would probably knock out beterbiev. He's not that good, just an enormous puncher. I was going to bet on Smith.
