Sergey Kovalev – Boxer: The powerfully built 6’0″ Russian is an aggressive bomber with concussive power in both hands. Kovalev, 32, is an offensive machine with fast hands, accurate combinations and devastating bodypunches. Kovalev has a punishing jab that is used as both and offensive and defensive weapon. Kovalev can be hit but is very sound technically and has shown a cast iron jaw. “Krusher” has blown out over matched competition and could suffer a letdown against a perceived no-hoper like Mohammedi.
