Sergey Alexandrovich Kovalev vs. Saúl Álvarez Barragán & Ryan García vs. Romero Caingcoy Duno RBR

Lopsided? What fight were you watching? But yeah then BANG Spaghetti Legs BANG KRUSHER KRUSHED All Hunched over in the ropes and **** !!!

 

Did you see how Kovalev wouldn't throw a punch in the clinch either? That was weird. And how they kept touching gloves every round. I've never seen two fighters be so respectful and be so careful not to foul one another. Ever. I expected Kovalev to at least throw one punch to the body after Buddy McGirt begged him to.

 

How many fighters did he drain?.

 

It's a boxing forum not a dating site. I don't enjoy life near enough to be a group-hugging type.

 

This.

 

Well said.

The most disturbing moment of the fight, for me, was in Round 8 when Canelo started to pose and do the "walkabout" as he tried to rest up. With the concept being he's ahead and if he preens and struts he can just automatically bank rounds.

I had Kovalev up 7-1 at that point.

Knowing you have the judges in your corner helps a whole lot. A whole lot. Totally changes the gameplan, from both sides.

I respect Canelo as a fighter. But the Canelo "phenomenon" is more myth than substance.

 

He had 42 fights when he fought Floyd.

32 of them against no -hopers in small Mexican arenas.

He had 10 decent wins and was in no way the fighter he became since.

He was a very good win for Floyd AT THAT TIME,

 

You guys DKSAB.

Canelo has an iron chin
Kovalev has a questionable chin

It was obviously from the first two rounds that Canelo was much faster and slicker than Kovalev. Kovalev had obviously been instructed by Buddy to manage distance and built points by touching Canelo with the jab; which he did to great effect the whole fight (except on the crooked scorecards). It was a great decision and make Canelo look small and ineffective. Kovalev started letting his hands go in the 10th and 11th round and lost focus for a split second and it was over.

Kovalev noted post fight he didn’t sit down on his right hand to prevent openings to his body per instructions from his corner. Amazing victory by Canelo. Great performance and strategy from Kovalev but he couldn’t bring it home.

 

So you're the ultimate ends justify the means type of guy? That context doesn't matter? Well hell, if that's the case then just go look up boxrec gather everybody's records and then evaluate the fighters based on that. You're being intentionally obtuse.

 

Oh boy greener then frog poop

 

You see how they played videos of Canelo winning the title before the fight? Turned my stomach. I was like, "At least let them fight before you start making videos about how Canelo won the fight."

 

How much I gotta pay to have @ElCyclon, @shadow111, and @IsaL perm banned. I'll paypal you 100 right now.
