    It looked fixed to me but the KO was unnecessary for a fix.

    IS that you being honest? :hang

    Let's "REALLY" be honest.

    Kovalev got brutally knocked out.

    Kovalev got knocked out the year before against another Alvarez who only had 13 KOs. Kovalev didn't take a dive then. And Kovalev didn't take a dive when he was brutally wasted by Canelo Alvarez the following year, either.

    And Kovalev will probably be knocked out brutally again really soon ... and he won't be taking a dive then, either.

    Elieder Alvarez was good enough to beat him in 2018. Canelo Alvarez was good enough to beat him 2019. Anthony Yarde came close in 2019, too, but didn't.

    None of those three guys are among the greatest light heavyweights in history.

    None of them needed to be to give Kovalev a bad night.

    Put the conspiracy theories away. Canelo didn't knock out a prime Michael Spinks. He beat Kovalev near the end of his career.

    I'm not talking about the KO, I'm talking about the fight. Is it possible Canelo won legitimately? Yeah. Is it possible the fight was fixed ? Yeah. Is it possible the fight was fixed and Canelo didn't/doesn't know ? Yeah. It's a business where promoters are creating stars that generate big money.

    You have a guy with money and legal issues who even in his biggest fight never made any real money and you think it's a stretch to believe the fight could've been fixed ? To say you were triggered by my post would be an understatement.

    Bingo. Noone would risk suffering a concussion in a fight that they throw away. Even if you were heavyweight taking a dive against a flyweight, you’d much rather do it via bodyshots rather than giving them a free 1-2 to the head, which can genuienly kill people.

    I honestly can’t believe this garbage is gaining credibility.
