    Stevenson has very little chance of KO'ing Kovalev. Kovalev would destroy him rapidly. If it went into later rounds, Stevenson "might" win by decision. But that is the least likely outcome.

    I agree, Hopkins is very good defensively. If not a little "grabby" and "holdy"

    How likely is it that Agnew beats Kovalev?

    This fight will tell us how Kovalev deals with a slick boxer.

    Because you don't know what the hell your talking about.

    Once you learn the sport and the stance and the balance, it's not that difficult to break down.

    And yes, I've seen Hopkins out there rolling, ducking, blocking, and looking like a Mayweather highlight at certain points in the fight.

    You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

    Explain what good fundamentals are?

    Does that mean Floyd doesn't have good fundamentals?

    Does that mean Willie Pep doesn't have good fundamentals?

    Now, you ***** up.

    You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

    You got that BD or something?

    exactly...reflexes can only take you so far. ask roy jones.

    solid fundamentals and basic skills will carry you much further. bhop is a testament to that.

    So, how does Mayweather not have good fundamentals?

    Or Willie Pep?

    Or even Whitaker?

    :lol: don't get your panties in a bunch.

    floyd has solid fundamentals. bhop has solid fundamentals. they use reflex and timing....but where reflex and timing fail as they progress...they have the basics down to carry them further.

    a guy like roy jones was all reflex and very little of what he did was based in the fundamentals of boxing. same with ali. as their careers progressed and their physical attributes failed them...they didn't have the fundamentals to carry them forward.

    willie pep hand great legs and relied primarily on his movement for defense. he was great at using his foot positioning to take him out of harms way. his fundamentals were decent as well.

    whitaker used great footwork and amazing head movement to avoid punches. as he aged..he had fundamentals to fall back on but was never really put in a position where his defensive wizardry failed him. an amazing talent who did things very unconventionally defensively speaking.

    Kovalev has not been tested. He got floored with headgear on. So that means he has a glass jaw waiting to be exposed.
