    Even in defeat props for him for taking a huge risk, we need more fighters like this in boxing

    Short counter puncher vs rangy power puncher with a good jab and good control of distance. Could easily play out the same way. I think Canelo may at least take a risk somewhere in the fight though.

    Nah. I dont think it will be on par with those two fights.

    I do think Kova should win... but Canelo will make it interesting, imo. A win wouldn't suprise me either.

    I hope so. But my instinct says there's something fishy about this one.

    Kovalev is descending and Canelo is a lot harder to hit than people give him credit for. If Canelo can take GGG best shots he`ll take Kovalevs and likely fewer as Kov is a bit slower than GGG. I like Canelo by decision.

    There is always something fishy about Canelo fights.

    Who cares if there's a hydration clause? just violate it. Danny Jacobs did it. not that that helped him... but it will defiitely help Kovalev, he can swell up to 188

    Nobody can dominate Canelo. He's the World Class fighter. This fight is not gonna be easy for both fighters. Kovalev should use his physical advantages to beat Canelo.

    I'm telling you now a Canelo win is 99% certain.

    There absolutely will be a rehydration clause. I can't just imagine it otherwise.

    If not specifically for Kovalev (who's known to struggle to make even 175), to demand to a rehydration clause for a fight like this, is not even something ridiculous – Canelo is much smaller.

    Yeah. Oldtime HW's shouldn't compete in our modern SHW division.
