    What did you think of his jab last night?

    I thought he used it very well.

    KRUSHER has a brilliant whipping jab, it hurts like hell for his opponents. He seems to have a longer reach than 721/2 inches. But that could be his great footwork.

    Kovalev is one of the few guys who can really deflate an opponent with a jab to the body. People react to it like they react to a straight punch from a regular fighter.

    It also looks to me like he has very soft, flexible joints. Particularly his shoulder.

    People need to learn to question that Boxrec BS, because they make mistakes all the time. According to Boxrec, Hopkins has a 75 inch reach, but when they were standing next to each other at the weigh in, it was clear that Kovalev has much longer arms.

    Kovalev's jab is one of the best in the business. Lightning fast, really straight, accurate and powerfull.

    Kovalev won the fight agaisnt Pascal mainly due to his jab.

    He is big but he can use nicely jab to the body like Mayweather, and he never got countered. He is 32 but unlike many others Sergey is constantly improving.

    i like when he does his 1-2-1.He always hurt his opponent with it.they never seem to expect such a powerful left after his right hand.
