    Canelo is a good body puncher. He's going to attack that body. Kovalev has stamina issues. Ward already put the blueprint out on how to beat him.

    Canelo doesn't have that blueprint and he's not Andre Ward.

    I hate to say it but Canelo beats this version of Kovalev. Canelo has some of the best upper body elusiveness that will mitigate the range difference. Once inside Canelo will tear him to the body as he has been proven an effective body puncher.

    Wards attack was blatantly to the testes not the body

    Canelo bodies Kovalev. Literally.

    Kovalev is slower than ever, doesnt pack the same power as he once did, and has stamina issues.

    Canelo just needs to be active, keep chipping away and then jump on Kovalev.

    Kovalev from 3 years ago would have done Canelo, but not this version.

    kovalevs stamina is no good anymore. he got tired in 3 of his last 5 very bad. It comes down to how well canelo can take a punch but kovalev is getting real old

    Great match up
    Canelo body pinching vs Kovs jab and size
    I can see either fighter getting stopped

    That is what he would have to do. Use the jab and try to bust him up with the jab and then maybe start to use his strength to wear him down. Canelo's sharp punching would be a problem for Kovalev. It is hard to predict that fight.

    I pretty much agree with the consensus.

    1) Kovalev is getting old. He's still got the skills but the speed and stamina have gone to hell.
    2) Canelo is going to catchweight and rehydrate clause him into a stick of jerky. Dehydration amplifies stamina problems and we've seen it time and again how a few pounds turns a fighter into a shadow of themselves.
    3) Canelo is a pain in the ass to land clean on. I have no doubt that Kova will land a ton of jabs through the fight but he's going to have to throw even more than usual to do so. If he's dried out, his stamina is going to deflate super fast at a higher work rate
    4) Kova is soft to the body, it's pretty much a fact now. Canelo is an excellent body puncher

    The early rounds will be fireworks and I expect Sergey to take them. After round 4 its going to be all Canelo.
