    maybe split, maybe majority maybe UD but Kovalev will get his hand raised.

    I think we get the same outcome as the last fight, Alvarez was beating Kovalev to the punch so much!

    I’ll be amazed if krusher has somehow mad his jab quicker

    it wont be just about the jab it will be about Kovalev picking his shots better. tying alvarez up. keeping it at a slower pace. Kovalev showed really good movement I think he underprepared for Alvarez and he trained really well this time. who's to say alvarez will even improve.

    I had Alvarez win the first two rounds (hbo was being biased) Kovalev was doing much better Then Alvarez body work really paid it's dues. Krusher is an eight round Fighter. I'll give more details later. Kovalev only has a punchers chance.

    Maybe Kovalev will not be so overly confident & outbox Alvarez? I doubt it though. EA Stops Kovalev in late rds imo.

    Kovalev may win, it is more than possible. But if he wins, I highly doubt that it will be by a close decision.

    Kovalev was doing better body work than alvarez and it really paid it's dues. I think you mean the other way around if you're trying to make a point.

    as for round 1 and 2 I actually agree. Alvarez won both of those. but Kovalev got his distance and hurt Alvarez badly. I think he didn't train properly for the fight and that's why he looked weird taking a jab early but he regained focus until something happened I think he thought back to time in jail lost focus. I think his mind is only on alvarez who he for sure took lightly.

    Kovalev on points. I think he'll try to box a lot and stay out of range

    I think he paces himself better and alvarez isn't able to time him ever, maybe alvarez trys so hard for the one punch he doesn't get it even.

    Although it's not Kovalev's usual style to move and box, I think he'll have to because if he trades tonight he'll get stopped again

    Man, then he's screwed. Kovalev only knows how to do 2 things there in the ring. Only two. He does it next to perfection, yes. But he can only do those 2 things, nothing else.

    And one of those things is not to move and box.

    When I say move and box I don't mean he'll turn into BJS or Fury but you'll definitely see more movement from him tonight

    It will be a good fight. I would like to see kovalev proving me wrong and doing things that I'm not used to watch him doing. I've always criticized him for being too robotic, somewhat. I would be glad of watching him being creative and with "flow" in the ring, he has talent for tha, I dont know why he doesnt let it go more often.

    Hate to say it, and I get predictions wrong as much or more than anyone, but this is 100% fact and not opinion -- Kovalev is getting BLITZED again. Once a fighter/athlete begins their decline, there are things said fighter/athlete can do to slow the progression and consequently they can also accelerate it with other things or activities. Kovalev bullet trained his physical decline with an actual case study: "SELF IMPLOSION, ACCELERATED" -- by "Krusher."

    Alvarez is an incredibly fit and fresh fighter/athlete for his age. He's also VERY skilled and Kovalev isn't so advanced over Alvarez in any single area at this point to make up for the deficit he is up against. Kovalev is folding faster than France with a single loaded water pistol pointed at them.

    I will give you credit if you are right since your statement is so bold. I just know you're wrong :)
