The Chilemba fight was boring as heck. The other guys corner probably should have stopped it. He wasn't even trying the second half of the fight.
I missed the Cunningham decision and was
in here reading he didn't get the victory. I picked he other guy in the pick 'em thread, but no way Cunningham didn't deserve that decision.
Great fight for the main event. Kovalev was unloading on Pascal with far more bad intentions than he did vs. Hopkins. I still think he may have let Hopkins off easy out of respect. Offensively Kovalev as a boxer is extremely underrated, but his defense needs a lot of work.
The stoppage wasn't horrible IMO. Pascal looked done. Kovalev gave someone outside the ring the
look after he got up from slipping and wanted to let people know it wasn't a KD, then saw Pascal jelly legged.
I still think Adonis is highly overrated, but he always has that puncher's chance. As a boxer I don't think he is any better than Kovalev, just different.
His chin is extremely suspect and I think he would need to hurt Kovalev first, otherwise I don't think Adonis could hold up.
Beterbiev vs. Kovalev would be interesting. Even if Kovalev is more skilled as a pro, you wonder if Beterbiev holds a psychological advantage from those amateur victories.
