Do you think it had much success in the fight? I thought it became substantially less effective the more he got tired
I believe that to learn boxing means you should develop a range of skills to be able to avoid getting hit and to think that a shoulder roll is a one size fits all type of defence is slightly naive . I think it’s a good defence against an orthodox opponents straight right but there are better defences against their jabs and from the get go Kovalev had success with his jab.
