But even though I think Kovalev will win I really like how Canelo has stepped up and given us big fights over the last three years. Lara and Cotto were his only interesting fights between Floyd and GGG. Then he puts up Golovkin x 2, Jacobs and now Kovalev in just a little bit over two years. Beautiful.
Provide video evidence of more than 2 clear low blows. Not inconclusive ones you wish we're low, but actual, definitively low shots
One thing I come to understand in boxing. When you hope a cheater and punk in his prime like Canelo gets knocked out, it seldom happens when he faces a much older opponent. And we know how the judges are going to score this one. Great fight on paper. Yes, I want to see it, but don't expect justice. Poetic justice would be a treat. And poetic justice is semi-rare.
Shoot man give up. The foul line in boxing is the navel. Ward's punches were landing on the advertising on his trunks that was level with his family jewels 6-8" BELOW the navel Just watch the fight those fouls are BLATANT
You Clenbutrol Kid addicts who try to claim there is no corruption & conspiracy connected to his "success" need to pay attention to the knowledgeable people in the sport. I have not seen one unbiased fan that thinks Kovalev can ever get a decision win in this fight. Many believe Kov is capable of winning the fight by decision but that the judges will not give it him regardless. Boxing as a whole is corrupt but Vegas is the cess pit. Be honest folks everyone knows its that way . I would LOVE to see a fair fight, officiated fairly with the better man getting the win he deserves BUT how often does that happen in Vegas?? That is why I do not buy any PPV fights or DAZN as I refuse to contribute to the corruption
Think you mentioned the key word, prime. Only one of them is in their prime. But let Kovalev has a little bit more left on the tank. CA should still get credit for the win.
Canelo is going to stand right in front of him like the second ggg fight and he's going to spank kovalev. Come back after the fight and realize I was right. Bank on it.
Here's the catch, Kovalev will not stand right in front of Canelo. Not because he's scared, but because that's not how Kovalev fights..... anyone.
I keep coming up with plausible reasons for why Kovalev can win this fight. Size, weight, jab etc. But then some things keep pushing back: 1. This is Canelo (cash cow) 2. This is in Las Vegas (cash cow) 3. This is boxing (cash cow) Not detracting from Canelo’s ability but there’s plenty more money to squeeze from Canelo. I’d be amazed to see him lose this, particularly on points.
I respect Canelo for fights this at the 175 weight, as he should for the title at 175. I don't believe in catchweights. It is a form of cheating. Leonard perfected this in 1988 with Lalonde and then tried to weaken Tommy at 164 in 1989. Yet Tommy came in 162 1/2. Canelo really thinks Kovalev is a shot fighter is what I think. The Kovalev who fought Hopkins or Ward in the first fight would have been hell for Canelo.
Canelo vs Mayweather - 114 - 114 CJ Ross If history tells us anything, the judges will be 20-30% in Canelo's favour before the bell rings.
