    6-4 or 5-5 was a realistic score 6-4 Kova wouldn't have surprised me either

    Don't get all worked up my man. I had Kov ahead 96-94. Spectacular knockout though, memorable.

    I expect Canelo's next fight to be at 168 pounds.

    Why was he playing patty cake for ten rounds?

    With Canelo its show business and the business is to make sure he wins again for his fans, and to pick an older opponent that would have beaten him in their prime....and then fix the rest on the cards.

    Bro, when the commentators started questions with why isn't Kova putting any power in his shots it was obvious.

    I’ve never known anything like it.Knockout aside how do you get the commentary teams to go against the obvious action so much?

    Canelo was the baker's man who can pass a drug test as fast as he can!

    ha. I'll watch it.

    Also, Beterbiev is close to 35 years old, right? That would seem the preferred age range now for Canelo's opponents.

    Beterbiev would not be fighting to preserve energy as Kovalev did, I'm sure.

    Exactly. Everybody says that Kovalev was just tapping Canelo the whole fight which he mostly did. But if you tap a guy all fight long and then all he does it just follow you around the ring and barely throw then how do you win rounds? It's not like Canelo actually pressed until the 11th.

    Yep shot to bits

    It’s been clear since the 1st Alvarez fight and in the Yarde performance that he is done.

    He is just cashing out now

    Fakest knockout I’ve ever seen this felt incredibly suspect to me, I know it was a clean punch but i was waiting for it to happen even though the fight wasn’t going that way.
