    No not dive at all. I don't think Kovalev adapted to Canelo being smaller, he just couldn't get his big shots off... Canelo should get full credit for staying right in front of Kovalev and for that monstrous left hook that setup that sweet right hand down the pipe that sealed the deal!

    They try and give Loma credit for beating Rigo who was 2 visions lower and older than Kovalev, but they won't give a lick of credit to Canelo for jumping up 2 weight classes.

    Fix & a dive? @Mods we need a Sunday forum break. Kovalev was seriously hurt and Nelo refused to celebrate and checked for 2 minutes if he's okay.

    HE TOOK A DIVE? FFS didn't we have like 4 deaths this year?

    Dirrell has nothing to do with Kovalev eating a left hook and flush right hand that put his ass out. Absolutely nothing.

    It's not hard to fake slump.

    Why beat around the bush, anyone who really believes that was a dive is clearly an idiot with an agenda.

    Knockout was real imo but the previous ten round sparring match was odd.Im looking at Canelos reaction and he did not look overly happy with the result.whatever it explains why they took on a seemingly impossible challenge as Kovalev threw maybe two right hands the whole fight?

    First it was the he got robbed in the first Ward fight, then it was the low blows, then it was whatever excuse for Alvarez and now its he's taking a dive. Im quickly realizing Kov fans may just be the most delusional fans in boxing.

    Who says he's faking? Nobody is saying that the punches were fake. We are saying that the fight was fake and went according to a pre-determined script. Your obsession with the two second conclusion is blinding you to a half hour of theater.

    That's not how betting works.
