Elieder Alvarez was always a live dog. That is why Adonis Stevenson has been ducking him for years. This was a very interesting fight where Alvarez was bothering Kovalev with his boxing skills early, but Kovalev seemed to be wearing Alvarez down with his power.
That all changed in the 7th round when Alvarez hit him with a perfect overhand right that caused Kovalev’s legs to shut down.
At that point, Alvarez just puts a massive beating on him and finally, the ref stopped the fight.
