    Alvarez is a very tricky and awkward fighter, I see either a late stoppage after a good back and forth or a close SD win for Kovalev. Either or it's gonna be a damn entertaining fight.

    Nope, Kovalev has problems with speedy boxers (Ward and Chillemba). And to top it all off Alvarez is a big guy, no way in hell is Kovalev not gonna go through a meat grinder in tonight's match. Like I said I think he's gonna win but it won't be a walk in the park.

    That depends on what type of punch Alvarez takes. I think a bit of the fire has gone out of Kovalev, but he's still good.

    I mean the guy is still arguably the best at 175 no question, and you're right, if Alvarez can take Kovalev's best shot then it's gonna be a really long night for Kovalev. I just think stylistically and from a physical standpoint Alvarez is a big obstacle for kovalev to surmount.

    Well it's pointless debating because you're about to get your answer.

    I used to think that but after he quit against Ward I lost some of my respect for him, although Kovalev have looked good since but, once a quitter, always a quitter...

    I just think Kovalev is a few levels above EA. Well see should be a fun fight. I have 300 to win 60 SK.

    Kovalev won me money when I bet on Ward Twice

    Same as this:

    So you're really laughing at yourself too LOL No one predicted that... Come on ellerbe don't hold grudges against people! Fair play to Alvarez but Kova is finished. Sad to see..

    Not holding grudges at all, you've just done the same to me. Stop being so sensitive. You're getting good at stalking profiles, how long did it take for you to dig that up. Also, no I'm not laughing at myself. Yes, I predicted Kovalev to win if he wasn't shot, but I didn't go around saying it's an easy nights of work. I also mentioned that if he was shot, that Alvarez had a possibility to win. Ward took his soul!
