Kovalev knows what he’s in for here, especially after the ward double. I think this is the final fight of kovs career unless he wins and wins every round it cannot be debated. He probably knows this but the cash is too much. Kov needs a KO. Canelo does indeed have an iron chin, but he can Gas and kov has an elite jab to keep canelo off him. Khans jab was giving canelo all sorts of trouble, and kovs is a level above
This's everything what's wrong with boxing: rather facing the best guy in your division you did NOT convincingly beat, you face a washed-up big name and sell that's a danger fight cause of the weight difference - it's Canelo's Pac-DLH. Same result. And yes, I predicted Pac by stoppage.
Canelo will be remembered as another corrupt Primo Carnera, getting gift decisions, benefiting from corruption left and right. Kovalev will beat Ginger from pillar to post only to get robbed.
A deserved Money fight for Kovalev. Hopefully he will take home more than $70,000 for this fight after his manager, and Duva take their cuts. Kovalev was getting absolutely raped on his purses when he was younger, while boxing writers were touting the family atmosphere at Main Events.
I really can’t argue with ya. Kovalev KNOWS what’s gonna happen unless he’s doesn’t box an A+++ game or ko canelo. If he wins by KO, or even better boxes so well he actually CANNOT be mathematically screwed, he will become a international boxing darling for breaking oscars heart and pet project. And get a rematch most likely or another massive fight. Canelo is tough enough to last the 12 I would guess....swing rounds are going to canelo. Absolute no question. Cannot blame KOV for taking the money and running If he loses
