    I've never been impressed with Kovalev. And yet he just gets it done.

    Some of you guys throw the word "slick" around, but have no idea of it's meaning. Putting Syllakh in the same sentence as "slick" doesn't make sense. Just because he is a "black" Ukranian, doesn't mean he is slick. He seems to have good feet. He moves well, and has good technical boxing ability, but damn near no defense. Why would you say he was slick?

    There's a good chance Sillakh would be taken out of the ring on a stretcher if he fought Kovalev. Kovalev has the tools to beat anybody at 175 and do so in brutal fashion.

    Hard to tell. It's not like Campillo came in the ring ready to fight. How fighter A does against fighter B has no bearing on how he would do against fighter C, D, E, and F.

    Teddy predicted that Silkha was gonna get Ko'd even though he was an epic favourite. Simply incredible

    I forgot all about this thread.

    Of course Lewisantiwhiteboy picked Sillakh.

    We should not bring back those old threads because the predictions in them make people look stupid.

    Good thing I just troll instead of predicting fight!

    Syllakh had been a good amateur, but Kovalev easily walked right through him and knocked him out..............
