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

One thing you have to respect about Canelo though is his slipping ability. It's going to be super interesting to see how well he can slip Kovalev's jab, @bandeedo do you think Canelo's head movement will play a big factor in this fight?

 

These ****ing morons had Murtazaliev and Melikuziev fight off TV. Both won by early TKO but still what the ****

Edit: only Melikuziev fought off TV

 

Remember when Kovalev had that spear-like jab to the body around 2013-2016? That's a big key to beating Canelo imo, I feel like he's gotten away from that. Also Douglin said something about how he couldn't even raise his arms after getting punched in the arms by Kov. So I agree with you, he needs to focus just hitting Canelo even if it's blocked more than headshots.

 

undoubtedly. i think canelo is going to struggle getting in range the first few rounds. his head movement will keep him from taking much punishment as he tries to get inside, but kovalev will deny him the range by stepping back when canelo advances. eventually canelos feints and the pace of the fight will see kovalev take that back step less and less, and thats when canelo will start to do his best work.

 

Hell get close enough... Kovalev will be the one coming forward to Canelo imo, and in that case Canelo will use his best traits which is his counter punching ability.. Kovalev will have a tough time hitting Canelo clean, and when he over commits Canelo will make him pay.. well see though..

 

Good breakdown. You make a prediction yet?

 

Who are you officially picking?

 

Can Nursul turnip go for a knockout, please.

 

@CST80 I feel like a jackass hating on young fighters, but am I the only one that would find it funny if that goofy ass lanky gen z kid Tristan Kalkreuth got knocked out.

 

That Kalkreuth dude is rated as a LHW but only fought at cruiser thus far

how does that work?
