Sergey Alexandrovich Kovalev vs. Saúl Álvarez Barragán & Ryan García vs. Romero Caingcoy Duno RBR

Are they going to give it to Kov with these kinds of rounds though? I had Kovalev winning both rounds, but he's not landing any huge flush shots.

 

1-1

Win or lose you gotta give Canelo credit is walking down the bigger guy.

 

2-0 Kovalev

 

Kov can't miss with that short right hook behind the guard .

 

10-9 Kov

20-18 Kov


But in the back of my mind I'm thinking "Is Kov winning these rounds big enough" because we know if there is Any excuse Canelo is getting them.

Round 2

Álvarez is walking forward, still in hedgehog mode. Kovalev pecks at his carapace with jabs and strings together a few straight combos, trying to sneak the right over the back of Canelo's left wrist in breaking ball fashion to clip his chin. Álvarez is defending very adroitly, but only countering sporadically and getting outworked and controlled with the jab - and doesn't yet have a consistent answer to stop that Kovalev right from bypassing his guard when he draws it closed.

10-9 Kovalev, close

20-18 Kovalev

 

10-9
9-10.

 

2nd round for Alvarez. Still a very close round but I feel Alvarez blocked a lot of Kovalev’ jabs and punches. Alvarez landed some good body shots and caught Kovalev a few times. Good fight so far!.
