Never was a big puncher (11 k.o, 23 wins coming into the fight), always was very skinny and lean. Now at 34 he looks like a bodybuilder and suddenly starts K.Oing people. Also took some huge flush shots from kovalev and kept moving forward yet he was rocked by chilemba.
Alvarez has shown in the past he can wack if he connects right, he's a solid puncher imo. A KO ratio doesn't always tell the full story in regards to punching power. Just give the man credit, he performed well and beat Kovalev.
Something fishy about Kovalev. He was this indestructible wreaking machine. Now, he's a china chin wimp. What up wit dat.
Cmon guys you dont have to be losers.I am Kovalev fan and he got robbed badly vs Ward in the first fight and have no problem saying it again and again but Alvarez on PEDs ??? No proof.You can say that everyone in this sport is on something.
Its not his power, its Kovalevs complete Jermain Taylor style of stamina. By the rounds he was finished Alverez could of blown him over.
Man kovalev got knocked out fair and square, the guy has a shaky chin and poor survival instincts. As far as I am aware Kovalev usually used full VADA testing, I'm sure he would have got Alvarez to take the same since he was the champion.
Kovalev doesn't have a bad chin. That is not what beat him. He has lousy stamina, gets winded. He was gassed when Alvarez caught him. You could see the look on Kovalev's face at the start of the 6th round. Go back and look at it. He knew he was in trouble because he was already feeling gassed.
Like I've been saying for 3 years now, these sack sucking Kovlovers are the worst fans I've ever dealt with. These guys always come up with excuses as to why their hero loses or performs less than stellar. By the way, they love 3G, Usyk and Loma as well. They react the same way. Something is wrong, no way their guy lost fair and square. The other guy must have cheated! Nevermind that Kov has been known to drink and slack off training, no,that's not it! Alvarev cheated! I called it the second the fight ended. Read my first post after the fight. LOL
