Post fight Analysis: Sergey Kovalev vs Ismayl Sillakh: Kovalev by KO round 2;


   Unbeaten Russian knockout machine Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev(23-0-1(21 KO) stays unbeaten after a very impressive KO round 2 win against very fast but poor chin Ismayl Sillakh. Kovalev successfuly defended his WBO light heavyweight title. It was his first title defense after he took this title from at that time unbeaten Nathan Cleverly on August this year. With such impressive wins Kovalev is rising very fast. After this brutal victory he is thinking about some big name next. He is willing to face Adonis Stevenson who destroyed Tony Bellew by TKO round 6 the same night. I was hoping this fight to go for some more rounds as I like both fighters, but Kovalev is just a monster.
 
   I mean round 1 was as I expected. Sillakh was moving a lot. He was much faster then Kovalev as was able to land some nice punches in fact. He moved a lot, went very fast in and out. Landed his combinations. But once when Kovalev was able to land his big shot I saw Ismayl hurt a little. But he came back fast and finished the round. I mean I like Kovalev very much but I believe Sillakh was a little bit better on that round. So I gave first round for Sillakh...
