Kovalev vs Ismail Silakh knockout


Fighting Weight

Recommended Posts

Kovalev is the brudda thats killed someone as a result of his blows aint it

 

this fight NEEDS to happen, never really knew about 'Superman' was glad to find out hes a natural light heavy

 

Yeah, the guy fell into a coma & died 3 days after the fight...

 

Spoeaking of Which, Mago is still in a coma after being beaten by Mike Perez...

stevenson don't want no part of kovalev from the looks of things

 

bellew is considering a move up in weight, it may suit him cos he looks DRAINED in lots of his fights and is tall for a light heavy

In the AMS he was a HW, I think he's about 6'3 or 4

 

He will get killed at cruiser though, so will cleverly

 

I don't get why these guys with no power and shit defence want to move up into a division where they are going to be fighting guys who are 200lbs on fight night, Bellew is scared to be hit at LHW and stinks out most of his fights anyway

 

They will both get mullered

cleverly will get ruined past domestic level, guy was originally a light middle ffs  :lol:

 

In the Am's bellew allegedly had decent power as a heavy, apparently  he KO'd all his opponents in one ABA tournament. How true that is i dunno, just what i read.

 

maybe being a light heavy left him drained and weak?

The look on his face though as he dropped.

 

I don't understand why the Light Heavyweight division as a whole gets no love?

 

It's difficult really, at LHW and above you start getting into the weights dominated by the larger guys, and this is where the American / Mexican influence generally starts to decline and the European influence begins (wherein there isn't huge promotional backing or casual interest)

 

 

I mean if you look at the Ring (snigger) rankings at LHW, you have

 

Stevenson

Hopkins (not crowd friendly)

Kovalev 

Cleverly (lol - moved up)

Dawson (lol at being below cleverly, but never had a huge fanbase anyway)

Cloud

Bellew (moved up)

 

 

Stevenson & Kovalev will probably bring as much interest to the division as there is possible to be at the moment, which is good. I actually hope they don't fight too soon as some more fights against other opposition would generate some decent buzz in a division that looked like a wasteland 10 months or so back
