    Ifeel Kov`s got to keep pumping the jab, he is one of the greatest offensive figters from the outside, but Canelo needs to evade the jab to get inside, like M.Tyson use to do.

    Using the theme from Dead Man at the beginning is a little bit of a classless inside joke, but still quite a witty touch.

    My thoughts are pretty much what the video says , Kovalev needs to jab often and I'd throw punches at his chest since he is good at head movement. Kov needs to keep moving forward always. Canelo has a tendency to become stationary at times and lets see how he likes the taste of light heavyweight power.

    Here in NZ, Kovalev is paying $4.33 for every $1 I put on, and Canelo only $1.20

    Seems a bit wider than I imagine the fight will be. Is Kovalev really that shot? I don't see it.

    If Kovalev boxes smart and keeps it outside, he can land more jabs, keep it varied up and down, to keep Canelo guessing.
    Unfortunately though it seems whenever Canelo fights, he gets credited with "power shots" which often don't really seem to land (although he is an excellent counter-puncher)

    I guess the loss to Alvarez has everyone worried the old man will gas, and that he won't have the power to hurt Canelo, which means Canelo will win the later rounds and possibly stop him.

    I see this one though, as Kovalev getting up "one last time", and leaving it all out there. If he does, I just don't understand the odds.

    A lazy fiddy from me.

    Do you think Kovalev should come out fast and try to impose his superior power on Canelo? Sort of how Hagler stormed out against Hearns.

    Hagler didn`t have superior power to Hearns and Kov and Hearns punched hardder than Canelo does.

    Yo @OscarDeLaHoya how come no UK tv broadcasters have picked up Canelo v Kovalev? Eddie and Sky have said they don’t want it and BT aren’t paying for it? That’s criminal right?! Tell Eddie and Sky to dig in there wallets.

    I'm talking about aggressiveness, I'm talking about taking the fight to Canelo and see if he can handle the power of a true lightheavy. I think he should try and punish Canelo early and stop him in about 8
