Canelo vs Kovalev - final predictions....

I'd lean towards Kovalev , his jab could control the fight . I expect Canelo will try to counter it with swarming attacks . Good chance of headbutts playing a part.

KOvalev by decision close.

 

Canelo won't go within 100 miles of Beterbiev.

 

I'm rooting hard for Kovalev, put some money on him as well (and some on a draw, because Vegas). Go Krusher!

 

Canelo KO9.

 

Canelo tko 10

 

I'm having trouble picturing Canelo stopping Kovalev, but it seems so many "experts" and pundits are picking this. He hasn't stopped any of the top tier guys he's faced. Beat some of them clearly, obviously, but stopped? No. Closest he got (and that's using "close" very loosely) was maybe having Trout on shaky legs post-knockdown or hurting Cotto with a bodyshot in the 12th.

If anybody gets stopped here, I think it'll be an exhausted Canelo in the second half of the fight when he can't offer up much movement to stay away. Kovalev may not have the snap and timing he used to, but his hands are still quite heavy, and I'm sure he hits harder than GGG. If I'm totally wrong though, I'll give full props to Canelo.

 

Russian wrecks the Mexican,canelo will never be the same

 

I think it goes the distance and we get a close decision. I could see people on here arguing over the outcome

 

Canelo UD or TKO 10-12

More likely to be a UD

 

Rooting for Kov but hes shot IMO Canelo may stop him. Hope I'm wrong but Canelo took this fight for a reason. Just like he ignored Bivol for a reason

 

Kovalev tko 6 Canelo

 

Kovalev TKO

Every once in a while justice must prevail by any means and tonight it's long overdue.

 

Alvarez by late stoppage or decision.

 

You have Kovalevs last fight to use against him however vs a new ground territory Canelo who does things better then Yarde but will need to hit Kovalev more, cant see why Canelo cant win this one based on that.
