People comment on fights they haven't seen I swear to god....everyone is acting like Canelo beat him from pillar to post when in reality it was a tough night for Canelo until he clipped Kovalev.
Bivol would stop that Kovalev. Now the Kovalev that beat up on Nathan Cleverly would dominate Bivol IMO.
It was a tough night for Canelo, but I think the reason people talk about it like they do is because it was clear from the opening bell Kov was a shell of his former self… His experience and boxing ability just carried him for a bit….
He looked terrible, had 0 snap in anything he did………..Beyond that I can’t imagine a prime Kovalev would opt to jab and play defense vs a guy coming up from 160…. I’m no Canelo hater but this is plain to see.
He had zero snap because Canelo has a blockhead that basically deflects shots. Bivol was rattling off 6 punches on him and Canelo just stood there.
current bivol who is in his prime vs a clearly past his prime Kovalev. boring question obviously Bivol. now make a thread asking about Kovalev after knocking out pascal twice vs bivol now.
look at the specefic question he's asking about a clearly past his prime kovalev vs bivol. nobody else is pointing out his BS question. Prime vs Prime Kovalev clearly wins
Almost, but Degale and Abraham where never elite. Prime Kovalev was levels above either of them. The shot Kovalev that Canelo beat beats any version of Degale.
I was right, Canelo got his rear kicked. I was forecasting what was going to happen to Canelo. Comparing to make people see that Bivol is far more dangerous than a shot Kovalev.
