Kovalev on the black leather couch

Kovalev knew that he had no chance to win, hence he was relaxed and smiling.

 

He was thinking about the dollar sign plus the ‘extras’ so he didnt give two shts about nothing.

 

Never liked all the smiling and touching prior to the fight.

 

After last night, this may be the next couch he's delegated to: https://images.app.goo.gl/iq6V6bpPhaT3hNyF9

 

Would Sergey be the caster or the castee at this point?

 

"I'm not really ready for this fight and I know I'm declining but I'm getting 10 million dollars. I'll just fight safe and hopefully not get stopped."
Ironically Kovalev did well enough that Canelo had to try to stop him to insure the win. He was content to let Chavez go the distance.

 

I genuinely think that Kovalev believed it would be an easy win (with a huge payday).

I mean, who would've thought some tiny Mexican would drop him like that.

I knew Kovalev's chin wasn't great, but really? Completely KTFO by someone who belongs multiple divisions below you?

 

According to the betting odds, Canelo was a huge favorite. The main problem was the time which didn't have Kovalev since his last fight

 

Lol Canelo was already up on the cards

 

Oh, I favored Canelo to win by decision -- but I really didn't think he could ****ing KO Kovalev like that.

I still believe Kovalev thought it would be an easy win. And that's why Kovalev was relaxed and smiling.

 

You're one of those who has a tendency to believe only your score cards have any validity. Is it really that hard to fathom that the judges might be seeing what most viewers saw and that was Kova doing nothing but retreating while throwing pitty-pats.

How's your leg by the way?

 

I didn’t score cause I didn’t see it..merely saying what I read on the BBC.quite frankly I’d be fuming had Kovalev won the fight by fighting the way he did.
Prognosis not good.im in good hands though.

 

The knockout came out of nowhere, Canelo is a solid puncher and I thought he’d be able to hurt Kovalev but nothing like that, however I expected Kovalev to at least sit down on his punches.

Canelo is built like a tank, great defensively and punching without putting your weight behind them is a recipe for disaster as we saw last night, I had Kovalev winning at the time of the stoppage however you could see Canelo was the boss.

 

Agreed. Canelo was looking to take him out 2 maybe 3 rounds before from what I could see, he started landing the left hooks with venom to body and head walking Kov down or walking through what he had anyway. Tank is fitting, one tough *******. He looked fresh as anything at the end to !
