    Kovalev has wrecking ball fists .Matched up against Jones ,would we see a Tarver type ko of Roy on the card s ?Or Jones just to good ?

    I feel Kov`s jab would be too much for Roy who could be easily trapped on the ropes with the jab, it could depend on who had the better reach, I feel Kov would of beaten Tarver and Roy maybe.

    U know, its probably one of Roy s hardest fight s IMO here. I see Kov really kicking in here, beating Jones to the jab again and again. Then pulling out the killer punch from no where that drops Roy ,A similar ko as from Tarver .

    Nah, Kovalev is too fragile.

    I don' think so, I think this fight ends in round 5 with an unconsious Russian. If Roy was really serious he would k.o. him within 2 rounds honestly

    How I see it to. Kov nails him eventually and puts him down.

    I think Kovalev would get discouraged and lose. He’s too orthodox for Roy to not figure out.

    Primes Jones is to fast and to slick. Kovalev would never catch Prime Roy with many consecutive big punches. If Kovalev was open enough to be hurt by Ward's counter punching then Jones can stop him, Jones is faster than Ward and hits harder, it'll just be up to Jones, to either win on points or really put it on Kovalev.

    Jones would outclass him confortably.

    Agreed, Kovelav has a puncher's chance obviously but 9 out 10 Jones stops him late after winning every round.

    Jones would win easily if he's not playing basketball or acting in the Matrix 2.
