Sergey Kovalev vs. Isaac Chilemba RBR.

Not a bad idea actually lol

 

I didn't think this was the wisest move when I found out about it either and it only made that bad feeling I had about the fight a bit worse.

 

Golovkin. I actually prefer the pre B-Hop Kovalev to the one of today. He used to come out of the gate letting his hands go much more freely than he does of late. He's more a boxer-puncher these days whereas back when he fought the likes of Thompson, Campillo, Cleverly, White etc. he was more seek & destroy. He used to double and triple up on left hooks, banging whatever he could hit, arms, shoulders, gloves and it was very difficult for his opponents to defend against because it was hard for them to know where the next punch was coming from and he gave them very little respite from his marauding attacks. I honestly think he's overdone the strength work and lost some fluidity. I know his strength and condition coach pushes him really hard but I think he might be pushing him too hard.
