    He won the first fight if you aren't biased as hell. 80% of press scored for Kovalev.

    The 2nd one was clearly a fix as well. Even weeks admitted those shots were low. Wake up bud.

    I think he's looked on as a duck on the pond, ready to be shot. Wouldn't surprise me if he lost

    no he was knocked out with body punches and staggered by Ward.. After he talked so tough. Stevenson is the guy at lightheavyweight

    It's a division to watch holding a cup of red wine in one hand and a nipple in the other hand. Almost every prospect has great technique, power, speed and don't need dirty tricks to prove themselves. Promoters need to do their **** now and sell this scenario (unlike Usyk-Huck).

    I may sound foolish but I'm betting my money On Jack. Dude has skills, his power or chin hasn't been tested yet since the move to 175lbs but I got high hopes for him.

    Kovalev is the best fight now and he was the best before SOB retired. Kovalev beat SOB's dirty arse in the first fight, knocked him down, staggered him with the jab, etc., but SOB had his personal judges give him a gift, he cheated. In the rematch, SOB landed three low blows to Kovalev's testicles, Weeks called it at TKO to everyone's surprise, instead of disqualifying SOB. So I have Kovalev beating SOB both times. SOB had to cheat. Let's have a rematch in Moscow with Russian judges, referee, boxing commission and then see who wins..................SOB is a fraud! SOB tried to fight a wino on HBO for big money, HBO refused, so he quit.............SOB could not beat Kovalev without cheating. Those who choose not to watch the video in slow motion and look at the still pictures are very biased. SOB had all American judges who hate Eastern European fighters...........SOB refused neutral judges, said they would be unfair. Now, what does that tell you?

    If Kovalev won't find a trainer, i think he will be beaten by tops of light heavyweight

    KO4clev should be back at number 1, but in reality hes gotta go through the rigmarole of competing with Adonis, and Bad jack.

    Much as I like Beify, hes not in with a shout until he gets some more wins at top level.
