    Round 12

    Álvarez is jabbing at the body from a turtle shell, not following his corner's advice to come out guns blazing for the knockout. In contrast, Kovalev heeds McGirt by staying relaxed and painting all over Álvarez's face with the jab. Even after stunning Álvarez with a 1-2 he stays cautiously planted at mid-range, not selling out to force the issue. Álvarez lands a right, and then so does Kovalev. Nice shallow uppercut from Álvarez, bang on the chin, snuck in after crouching in place and then bursting forward, but Kovalev takes it well. Kovalev loops a right around the guard, then dances away from Álvarez landing jabs on the chin and belt line. Lead right by Kovalev pinning Álvarez's glove to his mouth, then ducking away from a counter jab. Left hand by Kovalev.

    10-9 Kovalev

    116-112 Kovalev

    I thought Kova was done...props to him for proving me wrong. I didn't think he had it in him to bounce back like this.

    I thought Alvarez would come out with more urgency in rnd 12 but it was Kovalev that landed the harder head snapping punches.

    Man what a ****ing night for the old guard in boxing and the UFC. If you told me this morning when I woke up that
    Aldo
    and Kovalev would win, I would never have believed you

    Kovalev fought a great fight. I didn't think he had that kind of performance in him and really didn't think I'd be saying Buddy did a great job but he did.

    Which makes it even worse that he didnt press the fight.

    Not pressing the fight because you dont have a good chin and youre fighting a power puncher?.... .aight.

    Losing a fight because youre not pressing when you have a good chin and can take the incoming? Nah.

    Unless Alvarez got ward’s judges from their jest fight Kovalev wins this. He looked good better stamina and quicker feet. Also went to the body a little more when McGuirt asked for it.
    Solid win for Kovalev
