    I had a bad feeling about Alvarez having a look and catching Kovalev like he did Bute. But that feeling subsided after Kovalev started to take over and control the fight... Can't fault Alvarez for his win, he won fair and square. But man... I'm gutted right now. ****!

    Don't care. I've been on the verge of losing interest. This seals it.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to say Kovalev is trash or anything.

    He's just far from p4p material.

    Wow, I was sure the fight would be harder than the odds suggested, but I didn't expect a stoppage... :shocked:

    This is ****ing up my percentage in Kirk's league. I was just at 80 percent, dropped down to 76 percent. This could drop me further.

    Nope.

    Despite the 'official' decision in the Bicol fight, we had two upsets of sorts.

    He isn't. Kovalev didn't use his guard properly and got hit with a flush shot on the temple. Kovalev put up a lazy guard and Alvarez punched around it. Kovalev also doesn't bend his knees enough either, which is why those overhands kept landing.

    Kovalev regressed so much. No stamina, no defense. Ward took his soul.

    Alvarez was outboxing him in the early rnds in my eye. He looked a lot faster that Kovalev.

    Kovalev was eventually able to wear down Alvarez with superior punching power. That speed eventually paid of when a well timed right cause the end to Kovalev.

    Bivol stops Kovalev, it's too bad Kathy couldn't get her big cashout fight for Main Events and Kovalev against Bivol, but they waited 1 fight to many. Gvozdyk destroys Kovalev, I think we see why Stevenson has ducked Alvarez like the freaking plague for years now lol.
