He had one bad really round, and comprehensively dominated every other round of the fight, that's not what I'd call going life and death.
Don't really care about the fight unless Krusher returns to form with a highlight reel KO (not holding my breath for one) ...but 11 year old IB from 1993 would have been absolutely jazzed for the actual main event, the Versus rap battle pitting Onyx against Cypress Hill.
Tervel Pulev is absolute dog **** skill-wise. If Kovalev loses to him he should retire. Which he probably even should if he wins.
