    Ward said that the Krusher was gone and that Canelo is fighting a faded Kovalev.

    Ward is picking by Canelo by later stoppage or decision.

    You can probably put the house on it then as Ward rarely gives predictions on fights.Actually that’s one of his better attributes as he often says with 50/50 fights that none of us inc the fighters can know what’s gonna happen on the night.
    Expect Kovalev to get DQd if looks like hurting Canelo lol.

    I past giving predictions for this fight.Logic would say even an old faded version of Krusher should be able to bully Canelo around but the mind thinks Canelo and Oscar know what they’re doing here.
    I’m kinda hoping that their delusions of thinking Golovkin didn’t do enough over 24 rounds for a rematch and Kovalevs perceived weakness to the body has given them a false sense of invincibility.Im also hoping they are expecting to win by knockout as oppose to winning between six and seven rounds and relying on what the judges see.

    A huge part of the taking the fight is not giving Kovalev the appropriate amount of time to recover from the grueling Yarde fight. 3 weeks isn't much time off to recover from a full training camp and fight in which Kovalev was badly hurt. And Kovalev is old, which makes the recovery period even more important.

    I've said several times that the Kovakev jab is the key. If Kov can get around 30 jabs off a round, Canelo will lose.

    Canelo will stop him in the later rounds. Either way I can't wait for this fight.

    Yes and can you imagine the backlash if Kovalev weighed in with needle marks in the expected places?
    I’m hoping the quick turnaround might actually work in Kovalevs favour but for sure this is just another example of A side calling the shots.

    Kovalev had one bad round in his last 2 fights and people act like he’s completely washed up its ridiculous. Canelo has zero experience at 175 he should not be the favorite.

    Kovalev can land his jab on anyone in the business. He's also KO'd two dudes with it. That's pretty much end of story for me. I'm really excited for the fight. Even though I hate giving Canelo any of my hard-earned, diaper-fund, money. (That's purely because my pewsey is still a little sandy from the GGG fights.)

    Ward is nothing but an obnoxious egotistical dirty fighter in my opinion. He knows himself he should have lost BOTH fight with Kovalev the second by DQ
    He is the #1 on my list for being the one I'd love to wipe that smirk of his face

    Canelo has surely heard stories of Krusher being krushed in sparring by Golovkin. Giving the ol' triangle theory a go in his mind, he might be using his two defeats (in his mind anyway according to some people?) of Golovkin to bolster his confidence. If the guy I beat TWICE crumpled a prime Kovalev, how can't I to a faded one?

    Are these rumors or truth? Sparring and fighting is different and I don't think this had to be said.
