    Official scorcards in, 2 had Canelo ahead, one had it a draw.

    Kovalev couldn't win here without a KO.

    :lol: Canelo was up on 2 cards and a draw on the 3rd. What a farce.

    Shock horror! Clenelo was ahead on 2 of the cards and even on the third judge's card.

    No, I wouldn't say that at all, and I think that view point does Canelo and Kovalev both a great disservice. I thought Canelo fought smart and poised the whole way through, even if he lost most of the rounds. It was the right approach - I said I believed as much earlier in this thread.

    I'm impressed by both. Neither has anything to be ashamed of.

    Kov cant take a punch anymore man it’s pretty obvious. Hurt by Ward, stopped by Eleider, hurt by Yarde. Obliterated by little Canelo. It’s a wrap

    As far as punch resistance goes. That got what they were hoping for. So.... yeah, cherry pick.

    Kovalev seemed really lethargic in his interview. Doesn’t even seem disappointed...

    That was a very dodgy the knockout and fight if everyone can be honest with themselves.

    Why wasn't SK throwing power shots the entire fight? Not once did I see SK sit on any of his punches and instead decide to throw pitta patta pancake punches?

    Why suddenly collapse in a heap after being slightly touched when he's been taking those EXACT shots throughout the entire fight?

    Score cards 96-94 Canelo x 2, one judge had it a draw.
