    i cant translate full interview, so i decided to pick the most interesting information:

    Kovalev: "there was a strange accident short before a fight. Campillo's promoter offered me to box with Reyes gloves. I said: "Ok" and than he gave me an ultimatum "Everlast or Campillo is going to cancel the fight".


    Also Kovalev got only 20.000 bucks, and he can keep only 40%, so around 8.000...

    Kovalev also has said that he got no trainer, jackson is only doing some pad-work with him. Seems that Sergey is a self-made boxer like Pirog.

    Impressive, but not surprising.

    He doesn't seem to have a fixed style...just goes about landing his bombs by any means necessary.

    Not to say he's wild or anything, his control is actually quite nice for a puncher - just that he doesn't have anything like a specific coaching blueprint about his offense.

    Then sergey needs to have faith in his abilities and move
    permanately to the US and find home in a gym and with
    a trainer. He's a clever boxer with natural power who needs
    to be in a gym with an array of different styles and good
    sparring. If he consistently does that he'll be a world champion.

    I'm guessing, but that's probably "incident" not "accident."

    Anyway, thanks. This is quite interesting. :good

    Who's his promoter? Someone should seriously pick this fighter up pronto.

    The way he dismantled Campillo, I'd say this cat is the real deal.

    Seems so. Cloud is a decent fighter and Campillo completely schooled him. Now Kovalev made Campillo look like a C level fighter.
    There are factors to count in and i do believe that in both fights the stiles had a little to do with the outcome but the way Kovalev did it... i would not want to face him at the moment :bart

    Koralev has sensational punching power and is a threat to everyone at LHW
