Caparello v Kovalev

very very tough fight, props to caparello for taking the fight!!

 

IMO badly but styles make fights so hopefully Kovalev struggles with Blakes style. Gee there's some Aussies in big fights coming up their all underdogs but still AUSSIE,AUSSIE,AUSSIE,OI,OI,OI.

 

would be a miracle if Blake survives the 12 rounds.

 

Massive step up....
Fan of what blake is doing however only see this ending one way

 

Hopefully it turns out like provodnikov v algieri - although kov is a different beast and can box as well as slug. Can't wait to see this fight!

 

Blake needed a couple more fights IMO before this fight, but he's chance is here so hope he does well.

 

Kovalev is not just a slugger, he can box, good chin, good stamina and knows how to set up punches. Caparello is taking this fight too soon, but at least he has the balls to fight Kovalev. Andre Ward refused to fight him, Hopkins refused to fight him and Stevenson refused to fight him. HBO had an agreement with Stevenson for a fight with Kovalev, but Kovalev ran to Showtime and broke the agreement rather than fight Kovalev. Kovalev would knock Stevenson out and Stevenson knows it.......................

 

Is the IBO title on the line as well?
