Recently rumors are circulating that. Eleider Alvarez top rank 7 fight deal has been voided because of loss to Kovalev. However rumors are also going around that top rank is offering Alvarez a chance at redemption . Basically one more chance a fight against Gvozdyk in June .... who wins this match up . This would be Alvarez last chance if not Top Rank will let him go This content is protected
The Nail hits Alvarez harder than Sergey did and gets him out of there before the 6th round. Brutally.
The Nail eviscerates him violently. Gvozdyk does everything Kovalev does brilliantly, better than the Krusher. He's faster, has better footwork, has a better jab, better punch selection, better combinations, and a brutal straight right. Alvarez has zero chance at beating him.
I'd pick Gvozdyk to knock this version of Kovalev out. Granted Kovalev could catch him and take him out too if he caught him right, but that applies to Kovalev vs anyone at 175. Gvozdyk would either win a wide UD over Alvarez or stop him late.
It does! I agree with that. But that right hand of Gvozdyk’s might be the best weapon in the division.
That's a very tough match up for Alvarez, Gvozdyk is really good at outboxing people from range. He's not as much of a destroyer as Kovalev but technically he does nearly everything Kovalev did last weekend better.
One thing I do note is how big a LHW Gvozdyk is: [url]http://www.profiboksz.hu/images/abc/o/OleksandrGvozdykSergeyKovalev.jpg[/url] Kovalev looks quite a bit smaller, I'd favour the nail over both.. He's at his peak, Kovalev is in his career twilight IMO
Even before the first fight I was still rooting for Gvozdyk in a potential fight like this. He would do pretty much the same as Kovalev in the second fight - disarm Alvarez's jab.
Gvozdyk has 2'' in height and 3'' in reach on Kovalev according to Boxrec. Weight wise these are the only fight night weights of Gvozdyk I've seen Gvozdyk 185 - Gonzalez 185 Gvozdyk 184 - Chilemba 181 Kovalev's fight night weights Kovalev 181 - Sillakh 185 Kovalev 183 - Agnew 187 Kovalev 185 - Caparello 185 Kovalev 188 - Hopkins 182 Kovalev 189 - Pascal 185 Kovalev 183.5 - Mohammedi 180.5 Kovalev 186 - Pascal 185 Kovalev 185 - Alvarez 187 (Alvarez's trainer said he actually weighed 192) Kovelev says he was under 180 for the rematch
Damn Kov looks like an eastern european fish monger in this photo. Just popping in the gym for a fan pic.
Good stuff. Here he is with Usyk [url]https://www.google.com/amp/s/ringside24.com/en/19834-usyk-gvozdyk-will-dominate-light-heavyweight-division.amp[/url] [url]https://ringside24.com/media/post/45y5.JPG[/url] Big guy
