    Seems like as of late, 2 major fights that were very much anticipated failed to deliver in terms of the action in the ring.
    Which fight for you was more disappointing?

    How Kovalev dropped like a sack of **** randomly lol. Maybe it was a real ko but I don't trust kovalev after that. I picked Canelo to beat Kovalev though

    If indeed it was an act, Kovalev will probably make more money in Hollywood than he has his entire career as a boxer.

    In all honesty I have NEVER seen a boxing movie with a KD or KO as realistic as Kovalev against Canelo.

    Fair enough the actors are always stiff as hell & box like 10 yr old girls lol
    Kovalev is a drunk with bad stamina it just seem funny.

    People on this board just have hurt feelings because Kovalev lost. That was a nice competitive fight that ended in a sudden ko. No disappointment.

    Joshua said on video before the rematch that there would definitely be a Trilogy with Ruiz!! Don't trust any of the Mafia type backroom deals that go on in boxing, you'd have to be a fly on the wall to know for sure what goes on...

    Just saying, I've seen lots of Fights that seem like scripted Rocky movie fight scenes bordering on WWE scripted matches...

    I wasn't disappointed by last night because it's the fight we all knew we were getting. Joshua wasn't going to stand and trade like he did the first time.

    The Canelo was disappointing because I didn't feel like he was any danger. Even though I thought Kovalev boxed well, the intrigue was whether Canelo could withstand the power of a big punching LHW. But that part didn't really unfold.

    You know I wasn't even surprised the rematch didn't include any knockdowns and went to a decision but Ruiz put on a very disappointing performance especially after just being freshly crowned the new king at heavyweight

    Ruiz didn't show up and if you're a fan of the sport, you expected more out of him
