Canelo beats Kovalev decisively

Yes I do!! But with Crawford it was one blatant low blow
with Ward it was probably the 13th,14th & 15th blatant low blows when Weekes stepped in. Both Ward & Weekes should have been dragged before the commission & made to explain their conduct

 

If the fight goes the distance a Canelo win by decision is a certainty whatever happens in the fight I think everyone expects that

 

Canelo is smart. He will mix it up. Frustrate canelo. Im not a huge fan of either fighter but i would rather see kovalev win

 

First of all ^^ this, wich is kinda sad in and of itself

Secondly, the second fight against ward was low blows up the wazoo...it amazes me there are folks denying it or calling it old school craftmanship (this was a major televised bout and there for everyone to see). Whats more amazing still, is that folks are defending the stoppage on an illegal blow because "Kovalev got hurt by a right earlier and was almost out anyways"... Have these folks followed boxing before and never witnessed the grand fights where hurt fighters accomplish the impossible? Because it does happen and there's never an indication of "oh wait, this is so and so and he'll get over it". From the greats on down to the lowest level, everyone has witnessed fighters that were badly hurt, and then out of seemingly nothing, turn things around in the blink of an eye. Justifying a stoppage on an illegal blow because "he was hurt anyways" is simply nonsense!

Kovalev, in my opnion, is not done yet, I believe he still has some gas left in the tank. If Canelo beats him fair and square, I'll give him all the credit he rightly deserves for it. But even though I like Canelo, I have never been able to score neither of the two bouts against GGG in favor of him, first one plain and simple GGG, second one close but always leaning towards GGG, sorry fellas.
So let's just hope this one ends in a valid stoppage or a point score that makes sense. Both Kovalev ànd Canelo deserve it after their fights against Ward and GGG respectively

 

I was doing some boxing homework for this, checking out the history of middleweights moving up to light heavyweight. Came up with this list.

Middleweights Moving up to Light Heavyweight
Harry Greb vs Battling Levinsky W
Mickey Walker vs Tommy Loughran L
Solly Krieger vs Billy Conn L
Tony Zale vs Billy Conn L
Teddy Yarosz vs Jimmy Bivins L
Archie Moore vs Jimmy Bivins L
Jake LaMotta vs Bob Murphy L
Ray Robinson vs Joey Maxim L
Bobo Olson vs Joey Maxim W
Gustav Scholz vs Harold Johnson L
Dick Tiger vs Jose Torres W
Tommy Hearns vs Dennis Andries W
Ray Leonard vs Donny LaLonde W
Mike McCallum vs Jeff Harding W
James Toney vs Montell Griffin L
Bernard Hopkins vs Antonio Tarver W
Kelly Pavlik vs Bernard Hopkins L

But the best part, what put a smile on my face, was watching the two matches Jake LaMotta had with Bob Murphy.

I'm leaning towards Canelo now even though I want Kovalev to win.

Canelo has too much investment (commisons, PED protection, cartel backing, fixed scores, WBC support) and momentum behind him for it to all go wrong.

The true acid test will be if he can defend at 175lbs. Then I want him to run into Beterbiev and let this whole charade end.

 

I hope Kovalev KTFO the Golden Boy Ginger Snaps very brutally but Kovalev's whiskers aren't holding up like they use to...so we shall see!

 

Count me in with the other charcoal, I think golden boy team knows exactly what they are doing

 

So that means you will give full credit when Canelo beats him?

 

I can’t see canelo hurting kov unless his hands are wrapped in bricks.
He’s not moving to 175 and gaining some new found power....lol
