    I don't think the ending was fixed. But I agree that neither looked their best, although I do think Kovalev executed his gameplan for 10 rounds. It just may not have been the best gameplan given all the circumstances (judges).

    It's like you are incapable of any type of earnest discussion. It's just phoniness.

    You could've fooled me. What? Do you hack the people you actually dislike up with a fence post digger and dissolve them in acid?

    Exactly like Round 5 I gave to Kovalev. Canelo landed that great left hook but didn't do much else. I had Kovalev up 6-4 after 10 I thought he edged a couple rounds just by Canelo not doing quite enough landing but since Kovalev wasn't landing much in the way of clean shots himself they were essentially low output round in terms of landed punches.

    6-4 after 10 but you can't possibly fathom someone having it 7-1 after eight, if they edged a couple more of those close and undramatic rounds Kovalev's way? Huh.

    Who is Logan Paul?

    Fact is Canelo has been bleeding his people dry for years of money they barely have.

    I don't get why a guy who, all he's known for is his power punching ability, didn't throw one power shot and decided to jab the whole night? Power was his only advantage; so why wasn't he using it?

    I had it 6-4 Kovalev. 7-3 Kovalev is reasonable.

    It’s rather common for highly popular fighters to never get credit for winning. He could go up and beat Wilder and still you will find a crew of mindless trolling haters claiming “he’s only fighting him because he clearly lost to Fury”. Waste of time bothering with haters, especially ones that picked Alvarez to lose prior to this fight. The majority here picked Kovalev to win if you look back at the polls.

    No because I had Kovalev winning rounds 8-10.

    The odd flurry in a round doesn’t win you the round to an unbiased eye. Round 4 for example - the only reason people score it for Canelo was because he improved and showed something but still lost the round imo. No need to give sympathy rounds. All this conjecture is mute though because Canelo knocked him the f out...

    That's why a fight with Beterbiev is pure disaster for Canelo. Those looping shots from Artur and brute strength would crush Canelo.
