    Had a chucke at RJJ telling Chilemba to go for the KO. There's more chance of me taking a trip to the moon tommorow.

    5 pounds is not an advantage for a LHW... STFU

    Ok, Bivol has the skill and I think 'could' beat Kovalev, but he's obviously shown he has some issues applying it throughout 12 rounds against a tricky, spoiling opponent. And I can't be predicting future fights and annointing p4p elites four rounds into a fight.

    Round 8 Bivol 10-9, very close
    Round 9 Chilemba 10-9, very close
    Round 10 Bivol 10-9
    Round 11 Bivol 10-9, close
    Round 12 Chilemba 10-9, close

    Close back and forth round. Isaac landed the cleaner shots.

    Chilemba is so damned slow.

    Nah, Martinez had even more movement, held his arms down at his side, threw a lot of haymakers and was less orthodox and more awkward. He was more offbalance too which led to him slipping a lot.

    An argument could be made that Chilemba won the last 5 that I scored. They were all razor close, if you add in the 5th, 6th and 7th, which from what I can glean were close. This could be interesting, but it won't be.:lol:

    If Roy can't straighten out Chilemba's technique then he is destined to remain a gatekeeper.

    About the same scores Kovalev got against Chilemba I'd imagine.

    That was not easy. He had to work and quite hard at times.
