Kovalev - Agnew Tonight; Who you got?

Based on the 1-2 fights I've seen of Agnew he fights flat footed and comes forward the same as Kovalev.
I think this style will benefit Kovalev because he is best when his opponent comes forward and stands right in front of him.
Agnew does have some pop in his punches and I expect he will have some early success connecting on Kovalev, but it remains to be seen if Agnew has the chin to take Kovalev's return fire.

Based on my limited experience with Agnew, I have to go with Kovalev by stoppage, round 5-6.

 

I'm taking Kovalev by KO before the 9th round.

 

Agnew will expose this man for the very average boxing temporamental fighter he is and bring him late where his caveman swings will FAIL him! Tired! Agnew by WIDE DECISION or LATE ROUND KAYO!!!

 

I have not seen Agnew fight, but after reading the opinions of the posters here it's a safe bet Kova takes him out, probably inside 6

 

I would love to see Kovalev tested in a competitive fight, but with Agnew, I'm not feeling it.
Agnew seems to have average boxing ability, and I think it will take an above average boxer to expose Kovalev's weaknesses.

 

I wouldn't take the opinions of ESB posters seriously. They tend to be extremely biased. There are 1-2 of Agnew's fights on Youtube.
I'd post the links but ESB's crappy admin won't allow it until after 60 days.

 

thanks, will check them out now :thumbsup

 

I'd be surprised if the fight goes 4 full rounds

 

You are way too emotional on this fight
Kov may be not that great but this guy doesn't take him down
nor will Stevenson

 

This will be short and brutal

 

WOW!

14 votes already and Kovalev is above 90% to KO

 

Agnew doesnt move his head and comes forward with a basic high guard, he's cannon fodder for Kovalev

Someone with a bit of slickness and good movement can give Kovalev fits, Agnew is not that guy tho

 

The real WOW is the one vote for Agnew by KO. This fight will be another Kovalev blowout. It's a shame Kovalev isn't fighting Stevenson next. It would have been a good fight.

 

I honestly think this will be over in 2 rounds or less. There isn't much footage of Agnew out there, but from what I've seen he's not much of a mover. I see Kovalev dropping him in the first en route to a 2nd round KO.

 

kovalev decision, agnew has a hagleresque chin
