UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- As far as coming-out parties are concerned, unbeaten light heavyweight contender Sergey Kovalev's was something to behold on Saturday night. In his first headlining role on American television, which doubled as his first significant step up in competition, the Russian-born Kovalev demolished the usually slick and elusive Gabriel Campillo via third-round stoppage at the Mohegan Sun Arena. With a seek-and-destroy style and tremendous potential to become a TV-friendly fighter in the United States, Kovalev (22-0-1, 18 KOs), 29, had drawn subtle acclaim as a rising knockout artist with frightening power in both hands.
