    I think mark must be on a constant 24/7 cocaine binge and every thing that happens in boxing is the greatest development ever.

    He was nowhere near the puncher that Kov is.

    He was a puncher. He knocked down granite chin eubank. Eubank has acknowledged Calzaghe as one of the hardest punchers he faced.

    Calzaghes brittle hands turned him more to volume.

    You know literally zero

    He's got a decent chin and nobody can deny him that. It's definitely not glass, that's for sure. His useless gas tank is what let him down there. Looked tired from round 2 onwards.

    Don't know about best british chin ever, but he's got a chin.

    Kovalev’s power is not there anymore.

    Eubank`s punches here weren`t anywhere near the power of Kov`s, even the jab that stopped Yarde was harder.

    1. This version of Kovalev isn't hitting with the same kind of force as the prime version was. Prime Kovalev hit ridiculously hard.

    2. Yarde wasn't getting caught flush on the chin with full power right hands very often and he rolled with most of the ones that did get through. He mainly ate a ton of jabs tonight.

    3. Eubank and Reid both of whom hit very hard weren't just cracking Calzaghe with flush full power bombs all night, they were cracking him with KO and KD shots all night.
