    If you put in zero body work against Canelo you’re gonna be in trouble.

    Wonder how much of a Bonus Kovalev got for the scripted WWE dive he took?

    Kov just never learned to fight on the inside.

    Well I though Kovalev boxed Canelos head off, wasnt even close on points but waht a KO, Cant argue with that, was brilliant, very beautiful, fair play Canelo.

    What a turn of the tide by Canelo. I’m no fan of him, but that was very impressive.

    I don't think it's fair to say he "fought scared". He just got to the point where he knew he was losing the war of attrition, and Canelo turned the heat way up that round.

    yeah, i honestly think it's such a shame all the promotional and dodgy **** surrounds him, amazing fighter, but just such an easy to hate person, it's hard to root for the person you know has all the cards stacked for him

    Guys, there's no way you can fake that kind of reaction. He was out.

    Really makes you think doesn't it.....they were declaring it a KO within miliseconds of the FIRST punch landing. They fukin knew

    THAT FIGHT WAS A FIX.

    What kind of performance was that by Kov? He's shot. I'm sorry. I like Canelo but that was looking like Kov was shot or almost fixed to me. I can't say it was fixed now with that KO. But Kov looked neutered. He didn't commit to ANYTHING. The way the ref stopped it looked very strange. But the replay showed pretty convincing punches.

    I had it 5-5. Canelo deserves a **** load of credit for this win, but no way this is the same Kov that fought Ward in 2016 bro. No way.

    Shame Kovalev didn't unleash his power, but the goal for him was to keep his energy and not tire out so that he could avoid what happened at the end.

    Strategy was good, just broke down at the very end. Credit to Canelo for a good punch to set it up.
