So let me get this straight.... MW Canelo Is Stronger More Powerful than Prime LHW's

Kovalev's turnaround time from the Yarde fight was short, and he was not fully hydrated. Simply put, dehydrated fighters are at a significant disadvantage compared to their normally rehydrated selves. There's a reason A sides play weight games.

 

Yet it wasn´t a one punch KO...
And Alvarez is leagues better than Yarde.

And Eleider? Well he actually KOd Kovalev... Unfortunately for him, he got pretty much schooled in the rematch.

Alvarez applied pressure all night and landed some good power punches, particularly to the body.
In the 10th and 11th it was obvious that fatigue had caught up with Kovalev.

 

It's a strange one, isn't it?

P.S What about Canelo vs Yarde?

Do you think Canelo would ever take that fight?

 

Or... Kovalev has a weaker chin as almost every 160lbs opponent Canelo faced.

 

The only theory that makes sense is Kovalev's passive doppelganger took his place against Canelo.

Kovalev is shot like Roy Jones late in his career and Alvarez is roided up to the eye balls.
Look at AJ, when he was off the juice he couldn't punch at all. In UK he brutally stopped most of his opponents.

 

that kova is gone with the wind

 

The only other chinny guys who Canelo fought in the last few years+ were Khan and Kirkland. They both got lit up.

 

Canelo wasn't stronger , Kovalev moved him back easily when they were in the clinch.

 

When the money changes hands

 

Or Kovalev is weaker than WWs at this stage

 

OF course not. It was fixed

 

OP is the biggest spin doctor on ESB this dude never ceases to amaze me how disingenuous he can be.

the punch was as full powered as canelo could have made it for the type of punch it was. it was one of those fully wound, rotating from the torso and hips type shots (as opposed to a wild unbalanced Windmill wilder haymaker) that dudes throw at heavy bags. i don't care if it's canelo who did it, he's a big guy (180lbs isn't exactly small) with speed and above average power. A guy with a faded chin like Kovalev isn't taking that kind of shot.

not to mention it wasn't a one punch KO, he followed the huge initial one with a free shot right on the money while Kova brains was already rattled.

 

KO was legit, but fight itself strange as hell. Kovalev was super friendly to Canelo inside and outside the ring, he was lovely tapping his gloves all the fight with a weak ass jab, that looked more like push than a punch. Was bowing to him after every small fouls etc... I am not making excuses for Kovalev like many other posters, Kovalev gave up. Talentwise he was a a great fighter and champ, but mentaly not really champ material. Remember how Martinez, who couldnt stand straight was begging his coach to give him one more round? Thats a champions spirit. Kovalev took money. Good for him doe, his life is a wreck anyway now.
