    not to mention that Canelo has been most likely juicing for the last several months to bulk up.

    Canelo is too fast, too strong, too slick. I think he may knock out Kovalev within 3-4 rounds.

    Krusher has not been the same since the Ward fights IMO. Forget the low blows and the decisions of the SOG fights and just look closely at Krusher.

    Canelo and Oscar are not dumb—-Krusher has slipped big time and now they throw in the mix this FKN fast turn around after watching him take a few deadly shots from Yard and the deck is set.

    Respect to Canelo who just 28 months ago claimed to be too small to be a full “MW” boxer and was killing Khan.

    Canelo has jumped up above the MW class and even took a bigger [paper] champ down and now going to fight another champ @ 175...This is exciting and well thought out by Big Red and ODLH.


    Big Red will win by one of the three ways:
    1-Late TKO around the 11th.
    2- Strange controversy stoppage of Krusher around rounds 9-12th.
    3- Pre filled scorecards MD—

    I know Canelo is short but man he has turned into heck of a boxer minus the gas shortage here and there at times.

    Damn I hope Krusher is not going in just to cash out and has the mentality to WIN.

    Win, lose or draw he SHOULD retire after this massive fight with The Big Red Machine before he truly gets hurt

    Not that quick as Big Red is slow out the gate and couldn’t even KO Khan that quickly

    Big Red will win and I can see a late TKO or stoppage that sends Krusher into retirement

    If anyone isn't expecting funny business here they're either a fanboy, new to the sport or in denial. Unfortunately Krusher probably loses here. He's at the end of the line and the ball is in Clenelos court.

    Any guy that likes having an egg beater stuck up his ass, in my opinion not intelligent.

    Catchweight? Crippling rehydration clause?

    Sums it up well.

    The cards are always bizarre and they always just "coincidentally" favor the ginger one.

    Sure, you can flip a coin 5 times and there's a chance it will be heads every time. But at a certain point, other explanations become a bit more probable.

    Kovalev will get robbed again if the fight goes to the judges. He needs to K.O. Canelo to win it.

    Canelo calls the shots and rightly so. I expect Canelo to go on survival mode after feeling the power but I'm not going to completley dismiss him, he may have enough defense to frustrate Kovalev and catch him with some good shots as Kova opens up.

    Good honest assessment, that's pretty much the way I see it. I truly hope there's no catchweight or anything like that, and if there isn't, when Canelo feels the power, I think like you said, he'll go into survival mode. I'm glad he's pushing himself here and taking a risk, but I'm not sure if he thinks it's as big of a risk as we think it is, and may end up paying dearly for it. There's a lot of guys, even top guys in the sport that make these kind of "it seemed like a good idea at the time" miscalculations like Chavez's bone headed move up to face Fonfara and Mikey taking on Spence, and they end up regretting it big time. But whatever, if he loses to Kovalev, no big deal, it doesn't mean he can't be a player at SMW, but if he does beat a faded Kovalev, then he should immediately drop the belt and move back down, because he doesn't have a chance against guys like Beterbiev or Gvozdyk.

    Are you completely disregarding that Kovalev just fought two weeks ago and wont even have half of a full camp to prepare? I'd be shocked if his jaw and ribs aren't currently still sore. There's absolutely no way he can fully prepare to fight someone in a month and a half. I was cool with the fight if it had been next year but the guy was damn near knocked out he shouldn't even be sparring for a couple of months.
