    If he could manage to get by this which is 50/50 he might be looking for a cash out fight. If he tangles with any live body at 185 or better he could get seriously hurt.

    Kova is pretty much finished at this point probably a 50/50 on this fight. Although I wouldn't be suprised if he gets KO'd before the 6th.

    Kovalev will be 39 in april. I think he's finishing off his contract to just get some money. I don't know how well he'll do. But he looked like not the same fighter ever since the two ward fights.

    I dont know how good Meng is, if he's a legit B+ level then he might beat Kovalev. If he's below B+ level Kovalev probably knocked him out in 4

    I actually think that is a good match up. We will see what Kovalev has left and if he still has something a fight with Zurdo would be good.

    Further prove that your posts are all about projecting. Whining and projecting is all you do.

    Kov is well past his for sale date. He gave it up against Canelo in a pathetic effort. I suppose he still has a punchers chance but he can't go past 6 rds. Meng just has to survive past the 6th and he'll get the stoppage.

    "What the **** happened to you, man? Your ass used to be beautiful."

    Kovalev's is one of the most alarmingly steep slides of any top-tier fighter in my lifetime so far. He was awesome. Can't say I ever saw such a hard fall from grace coming when he was in his pomp. Losing a fight or two is one thing, but all this ignominy outside the ring, becoming a cherry-pick for a 160–168 guy, it's been hard to watch.

    Can't be blamed on Ward, either. A decision not going your way doesn't account for the unravelling Sergey went through. And what happened to him in the rematch was a symptom, if anything, certainly not the cause.

    Yet and still, I'll be pulling for him in this closing phase of his career.

    I thought I saw a photo of Krusher in a Russian Tank on the Ukrainian border.
    Might be going on a small incursion.
