It’s fight week in Atlantic City, and Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev is getting ready to take on, and take out, Blake Caparello. Right here, we have a couple of videos from HBO Boxing, as we take a look at Kovalev and Caparello, and hear from them directly to see what they’re thinking during the fight week.
For Kovalev, he’s happy to continue fighting in Atlantic City, but he also has more goals. He wants to get more and more fans, he wants to fight in Madison Square Garden, and he wants to continue getting better. His life is also getting more difficult with the demands from fans and celebrity, but he’s able to balance it out.
As for Caparello, most people are counting him out, but Caparello isn’t scared. He calls Kovalev the best, but he wants to fight and beat the best, so he called him out. Caparello wants to use his southpaw boxing to bring Kovalev into deep waters, someplace where he’s not that familiar. He also rightly acknowledges that the pressure is all on Kovalev to look sensational once again, and he’s simply looking forward to the challenge.
Stay tuned for more fight week updates here this week on Kovalev vs. Caparello and this weekend’s HBO Boxing card.
