    Boardwalk Hall is tiny. Can't really put big fights there.

    Alvarez is a solid fighter. Better than Pascal, Shabranskyy and that last guy. Anytime a Champ is fighting a legit top 10 guy in a stacked division, it's a good thing.

    That fight should have been in Montreal. There would have been more money involve.

    I like it. We will finally see if Alvarez is ready for the big work.

    I hoped it would be in Montreal since Kovalev is well known here. After all, he fought Jean Pascal 2 times here and destroyed Sillakh in QC.

    I wanted to go see the fight live :(

    Hey, let's play Boxing Hangman!

    _________ glass will shatter.

    Hint: the demonym "Russian" is two characters too short, although it does have the same last three letters as the answer. :deal:

    I think Kovalev still has more than enough to beat Alvarez, either by wide decision or late stoppage.

    That doesn't look like it holds more than 5,000 people:

    Coincidentally, the article addresses the point brought up.
