...did my boy shave from like his throat halfway down to his nips?

I really need a fast KO because I told my boss I could return at about 5pm EST.

(had figured that was reasonable, considering it's quarter of 2am in Chelyabinsk right now!)

 

If somebody is turned off by my fuzzy shoulders, my response is to brush imaginary dust from them.

 

2cm of height and 4cm of reach advantage for Mann.

Realistically he needs every advantage he can get.

 

Round 1

Good jabs by Kovalev. Combos already in the first half-minute. 1-2-3. Mann just circling in close with a high guard. Mann poking in a few of his own jabs at the chest. Hard looping right by Kovalev. Mann clinches. They fence with the jabs at mid-range. Kovalev with a lead right stepping in, then an uppercut as they lean together in the pocket. Kovalev now walking Mann onto his jab and hooking off it. Mann blocking a lot but throwing very little in return. Kovalev bursting through Mann's wrists with his jab. Body jab by Mann. Several jabs by Kovalev. Lead right by Mann. Body hook by Mann. They slam together with Kovalev's back against the ropes, both flurrying.

10-9 Kovalev
