Kovalev punishes Pascal as “Chickenson” watches

January 31, 2016 by Paul Strauss

Adonis Stevenson, Jean Pascal, Sergey Kovalev - Nothing unexpected, but still a feeling of mild astonishment when once again we witness the power and skill of Sergey "Kusher" Kovalev (29-0-1 17KO). He seems to excel at all aspects of the sweet science. His balance is good. He controls distance. He has a knockdown type jab and decent speed. He throws sizzling combinations, started with either hand. His punches are thrown with precise accuracy. His defense is good, and if he is hit with a counter punch, the effect is lessened by the fact that he sees them coming (focus), which makes him ready for the impact. Then of course there's his power. Undoubtedly fans jammed into the Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada and viewers tuned into HBO's telecast were wincing with the impact of each of Krusher's destructive punches .

January 30, 2016 by Abdi Haid

Gennady Golovkin, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez - Letting Canelo, a much more popular fighter, have his way in the negotiations would seem like a normal thing for most fighter’s management to do. If Canelo wants a weight advantage, then it would make sense to allow him to have the advantage in order to get the fight. Golovkin is said to be lighter fighter than Canelo, so it shouldn’t be a big deal for him to agree to the 155lb catch-weight that Canelo requests for the fight.

WBC middleweight champion Saul Canelo Alvarez is going to need to decision whether he wants to defend his WBC title against his mandatory challenger Gennady … Read more
