Kovalev by late-round TKO, I think. Very good match-up, though. As always, Dawson has tools to win. But against a prime Kov - I think, he succumbs in late rounds of a tricky fight.

Kovalev, Bad Chad couldn’t handle a decent shot and Sergey knew how to throw one. Over in 2 rounds

Either Kovalev takes a decision or stopping Dawson late or Dawson would outbox him to take a decision.

Sergei had pretty good speed, technique, instincts and could throw good combinations.

His jab was underrated, too. I feel he would have a too much for Dawson and chop him down, winning mid to late or by comfortable UD.

Peak Dawson made adamek look foolish.. i think him at his best beats Kovalev
