Clen boy up on two cards with one a draw at the time of stoppage what in the actual ***** how possible
He was actually wobbled right before the ko. 3rd last punch of the fight and his leg wobbled slightly then last 2 shots finished him
I can't believe how many idiots are on this forum.. That right hand that sent him to sleep landed flush on his chin. Wtf am I reading
No dive there. But there was something not right about the fight. Kov just didn't look like he wanted to take his man out. Maybe he can't anymore, but there were a few times early in the fight when I think he could have gone harder for the KO and maybe got it. And the judges scores pointed to, at a minimum, bias. We'll have to wait and see how Canelo does against Bivol...Beterbiev level LHWs. No matter what, it is a significant achievement on Canelo's part to capture a LHW title.
Can’t believe the poll is almost even. There are many things to not like about Canelo, but he won fair and square tonight.
All those who voted YES are the same ones who said they would give Canelo credit if he won the fight fair and square.
I just suggest a look at the facts. Kovalev 36 years old, he spent three fights this year. He had about two months after a hard fight with Yardé for preparing for a fight with Alvarez. My "verdict" is: Kovalev was in poor condition (it was obviously seen in the weighing procedure where Sergey Kovalev was slightly overweight) And if Kovaled tried throwing power punches , he would be knocked out in round 5-7.
I thought the ref stepped in way too quickly (thanks Oscar). But I don't think it was a dive, retrospectively. It was a great counter punch, and it may have been like Walcott - Marciano 2 where Kov is like 'I got nothing left'. Still, I'd be happy to change my mind with a clip lol.
yeh i knew canelo fans would start a thread like this, but canelo is not diving he will be krushed. no excuses. i am on round 10 now, kov is lining canelo up to get smashed right now, cant wait.
No dive but boxing is ****ing ruined. Celebrating a drug cheat every time he wins. After this win he now also has to be Pound for pound number one, no questions asked. Drug cheating scum
