Kovalev is way too reliant on the right hand

Yes he should of kept behind the jab rather than setting up the right too much. But the left hook did some heavy damage.

 

his left hook was the best weapon in the fight

 

Well why dont you take over his training then
No, seriously. F-Ck off

 

:rofl exactly keyboards trying to teach the world about boxing.

 

Well, the problem is that throwing the left meant that he was opening himself up for the counter close-in. His right is his half-guard, and he jabs left to set up the right. He only combos with the left when he throws jab-right-left-uppercut/body/right with the opponent up against the ropes or in the corner.

He did use his left when he was bolo punching, with the right doing the circular motion distraction for the straight left. On at least two clear occasions (probably one or two more).

He didn't 'hook off the jab' because he spent four rounds using his reach to jab-straight right through Pascal's guard. The hook meant coming in close and opening up for the looping counter.

Do you want him to box smart, or to show off his throwing versatility?

Twice as many punches thrown and landed, was doing more and more damage as the bout went on. It was working perfectly, so what's the need for what you're looking for?

 

He knocked a guy out with a JAB to the body

STFU

 

Wow, swing and a miss.

 

I am a big fan of Krusher , but yes I agree

 

LOL what? It's his bread and butter. Every fighter has a go to punch. His jab is great and his sense of distance is second to none. It's not like he only throws that right hand like a potshot. He sets it up and almost always throws in combinations.

He throws the hardest straight punches in the sport. A lot of punchers throw looping shots kovalev is straight down the pipe.

Way to nitpick on a flaw.
