Not sure about that. In the ring, Canelo quite possibly is just as heavy as the average Kovalev opponent. I think at the very least Kovalev is going to have to respect his power.
I believe that with Canelos low center of gravity plus head movement he will be in perfect position to Mike Tyson Kovalev to the body. Canelo will attack kovalevs Achilles rib and ko him by round 8!
Might be a boring fight because both guys are going to play it safe... Canelo because that's what he always does, and Kovalev because he fears shots to the body... Kovalev will work off the jab and Canelo will counter. If that's the case, it'll probably be a controversial MD for Canelo.... Kovalev will get his bag (and another couple, cos all the 175 champs will be down to fight him at this stage of his career) & everybody will be happy but us.
kovalev is fading fast. late 20's early 30's kovalev would have never been caught with those shots against yarde.
Canelo is far more skilled and goes to the body well. He will attack the body off of counters all night and Kov will cave.
That's what I'd bet on, too. For an older fighter who hasn't taken great care of himself between fights, it's a marvel Kovalev has as much left as he does, but he's too far past it.
I like all good fighters I just cannot bear blatant cheats. No one can deny Ward BLATANTLY attacked Kov's testes & should have been DQ'd. No one can deny Floyd cheated with his illegal IV use. No one can deny Clenelo's TWO failed drug tests. But not one of them suffered for their cheating. Corruption covered their asses This crap is ruining the greatest sport in the world
Do you know Lennox?? obviously you dont. Well I do & he's a very intelligent man. You are insulting him by mentioning that creep Ward's name in the same sentence as him
He can... Kovas never been good at taking body shots.. And canelos got some of the best in the business
No he doesn't. He says he can.... IF. Then lays out a whole slew of reasons why he might never get to Kovalev's body to do that. Hence why he has more questions than he does answers. Far be it from me to defend Ward, I'm not a fan, , but to me it sounds like he's just running scenarios in his head.
My fighters dont cheat to get success Your pathetic heroes have to have every advantage legal & illegal, use Ped's have state commissions backing them so they cannot "lose". Fight fair or forever be known as a coward I say
I'll Put my house on Kovalev winning by decision. Canelo isn't any better than Andre ward or Eleider Alvarez, and Kovalev beat both of them.
