Sergey Kovalev prepares for his upcoming fight against Nadjib Mohammedi on July 25th at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. Follow UCN UCNlive.com / ucnlive / ucnlive / ucnlive / ucnlive
I agree but the only thing that lets him down is his balance. He has got knocked down a few times and all of them were from his feet being square or being off balance.
I actually disagree, I think him, along with Golovkin, have amazing balance, which plays a big part in where their power comes from. They can both throw those hard shots, and not be worried about missing and falling over or being exposed to a counter due to their balance. Kovalev's only knockdown that comes to mind was against Caparello, in which Caparello's lead right foot stepped on Kovalev's lead left foot, which resulted the knockdown. If I'm missing any, please enlighten me!
+elmaleh33 Golovkin has great balance yes, but I really don't think Kovalev has. Yes his only recorded knockdown is against Caparello but he has fallen over a few times but they have been correctly brushed off as just slips, it's not horrific but when he comes to face a technical master like Andre Ward it could be the difference. If you look at his last fight with Pascal, there were a few incidents where he was seen going off balance, I can't name the round but I'm sure I recall him missing with a punch and going scrambling into the ropes.

I think many people don't notice Kovalev's defence because of how aggressive his offence is, but he avoids many punches by jumping in when he wants to attack, but also jumping out right away when his attack is done. That isn't possible with bad balance, as your body weight can't be too much over your lead leg, nor can it be too much back over your rear leg. I think the fact that he's able to establish his distance in fights, and fight at his range, also really helps with his balance.
I compared Kovalev's workout with Ward's workout - no comparison! Great and impressive as Ward is during his training sessions, he's way inferior to Kovalev nonetheless. Kovalev's intensity of exercise, stamina, dedication are unrivaled. And Kovalev's workout is more diverse and versatile; unlike Ward, he does a lot of stretching exercises. I just don't see how Ward can beat this guy.
Ward can't take those punches if they fight someday. His punches really hearts. All blacks keep talking about Andre Ward that he beats kovalev, I know why. Cause Ward is a last hope for blacks. They think he is like Floyd M. They are wrong. And you will see how Russian fighter knock Andre Ward out.
Klash716 I know there were many black greatest fighters in history. I meant nowadays there just not so many fighters who could be called the greatest. I mean Ward is good, but fuck this dude hasn't been fighting since 2013 ? You ca't just return to your perfect time when you fought (super 6) and do nothing. time is ticking, and Ward is 32 years old. fuck i just don't get him. what is he waiting for?
Lol, the not too many great black fighters had me rolling! Ward, mayweather, Mosley, Terrence Crawford , Errol spence Jr. , one time Thurman , Shawn porter , Deontay wilder, Anthony Joshua , come on man lets not be foolish.
his punches are so crisp... they're like gun shots
Good choice of music Kovalev!

Kovalev has everything, foot work, power, defance, chin, great technique, flaxibility... ultimate package
