At their best who wins this battle of the E E monsters at light Heavy Weight ? Kovalev's power Darius Jab :bbb
Tough one to call. DM was very good, hard fast jab, powerful and strong with a compact and hard left hook. Proven against top opposition like Hill and Griffin. Kovalev has quicker feet and a reach advantage over the T-rex armed DM who only had a 70 inch reach. I could see him outpointing DM and even stopping him late. Even if DM got in close he may find himself over powered though he clearly has a punchers chance. I'd favour Kovalev, he has more ways to win.
What a great and interesting fight that may well have turned out to be. Such a tough one to call. Michalczewski = WBO WBA IBF and the LHW champ Kovalev = WBO WBA IBF and has a claim to be called the LHW champ It is very early in Kovalevs career to know if he will be as accomplished as Michalczewski was at the end, but Kovalev is looking very impressive with victories over undefeated world champ Cleverly, WBA & IBF champ Hopkins and Campillo who some felt was unfortunate not to have won the IBF title or lost the WBA title. Michalczewski has the great win over WBA & IBF champ Hill, beat Barber for the WBO title and beat Rocchigiani who was stripped of his WBC title. Its really a fight I struggle to call. Great match making
Dariusz had plenty of power himself and that jab was just sublime. His highlight videos on Youtube don't really do him justice. Surprising someone hasn't put a much better one together yet. [YT]jEKeuzPxwUk[/YT] [YT]oYFTcRuwMOU[/YT]
