Kovalev had a built in legit excuse for this fight from the get go. Canelo wanted the fight for September, but it's just very much in character...
Well, if noone gets visibly affected by those punches, because one guy hits harder but the other is more sturdy, yea they should count the same....
Noone at 41 is close to his absolute best, that is just physically impossible. Especially someone like Wlad, who relied on his legs and his speed....
Punch counting in real time does not work, but with all camera angles, slow motion for close fights with a delayed reading of the scorecards...
It should be the same as right now. If you're banking on your opponent to tire, the pay off will come later in the fight. or not. The intensity of...

Yarde hit Kovalev with more shots than he has ever been hit with. Yarde is quite the power puncher, Kovalev took some massive bombs to the head. I...

I know, my point was that Kovalev was not even the same as in the Yarde fight. Beterbiev wasn't nearly as beat up as Kovalev was against Yarde....
Here is what you said in another thread: You were arguing the Canelo Kovalev was the same as the Yarde Kovalev. Well.
Interesting, Beterbiev is no spring chicken and coming off a hard fight, but Kovalev being old, almost getting knocked out and having a six week...
