    The jump in weight is a factor here too, I think.

    Is Sanchez v Kabayel really next? I'm still picking a hooker.

    A few years ago he still had some of his stellar footwork, but even that is gone now. It was one of the reasons his jab was as good as it was.
    This is a rough viewing experience for me.

    Kovalev is +500 right now. Only way he wins here is probably a knockdown or ko.

    Safar landing heavy blows but at a much lower frequency. Kovalev steady and pecking away. Fairly close round

    Round 1 Safar 10-9
    Round 2 Kovalev 10-9
    Round 3 Kovalev 10-9
    Round 4 Safar 10-9
    Round 5 Kovalev 10-9, close
    Round 6 Safar 10-9, very close

    Kovalev comes out fast, jabbing well, Safar going low a hell of a lot. Nice heavy left hook from Kovalev and an uppercut, but Safar landed some bombs late to nick it.
