1. vs Daniel Chavez
The Krusher started his pro career in July 2009 against another debutant, Daniel Chavez. The fight ended with what was one of the Russian's best knockouts of his career to date, a clean right uppercut just 45 seconds into the opening round.
2. vs Francois Ambang
The standout knockout in his 2nd year of the paid ranks came against Cameroonian, Francois Ambang who had never previously been stopped. Kovalev now 5-0, forced Ambang to retreat following some clever combinations and counters and ended the fight with a left hand which sent his opponent face first into the canvas.
3. vs William Johnson
The third knockout we bring you came a year later in 2011, the victim this time was journeyman William Johnson. Kovalev had accumulated 12 straight wins and was beginning to make a name for himself. With punishing raw power combined with a rare ruthlessness, the Krusher knocked down Johnson in the opening round and ended it in the second with a beautiful right-left combination.
