    Funny thing is this knockdown by bodyshot occurred around 2011, when Golovkin was 28-29 in his prime and Kovalev was apparently out of shape. This is the same Golovkin that beat Canelo's ass in sparring. These 3 even have a picture together. Canelo's time in camp with a prime Golovkin is why he delayed the fight for so long, and he also must have witnessed the sparring between Kovalev and Golovkin.

    What Canola doesn't realize is that he fought a very significantly faded Golovkin compared to the Golovkin of 2011. The Golovkin that fought Canelo isn't the same Golovkin that knocked down Kovalev.

    When Ward talks about Kovalev he has an interest as far as his legacy. If he said Kovalev was still good and Canelo stops him, he did something that Ward did and it matches his legacy in many ways. Although I think Canelo has already passed up Ward.

    Ward is an odd duck. I don’t think there’s a sincere word that comes out of his mouth as it pertains to Kovalev, who he’s been dogging like a bum ever since their second fight. He’s talking with his fragile ego. Not his boxing brain...probably angling for a Canelo fight too.

    Anyway. I don’t think Kovalev and Buddy took this fight on short notice to get into a phone booth fight. I think we’re gonna see a second consecutive jab KO from Kovalev here, and witness the passing of Canelo’s punch resistance as his chin gets irreversibly cracked

    Yes, they are. I remember Kovalev himself talk about it. But he claimed that he was sick/tired already/after a period of inactivity (I don't remember what exactly) and that's why Golovkin had some success.

    Fully expect canelo to stop him 7-12

    But if kovalev rolled it back and koed him... I'd probably wank harder than I did than when usyk koed bellew

    Still can’t get over how well Ward predicted Beterbiev / Gvozdyk

    That's my prediction too. Alvarez by late KO or UD at worst.

    I hold Wards opinion in high regard... I think he has made me the most nervous for this fight. If he said it will be close but Canelo will edge it based on youth... ok. But to pick Canelo by stoppage? Eeee. Not good. Makes me doubt my pick.

    Canelo probably didn't take in account that Golovkin's "cheat day" during training is to eat a scoop of ice cream and Kovalev's is to drink a garbage can full of vodka.

    1... Kovalev is not "my Boy"
    2... In a fair fight situation Kovalev won fight 1. Was leading on the cards in fight 2 despite Ward's impersonation of Golota. Ward is nothing more than an obnoxious, despicable, worthless POS in my estimation. A dirty fighter & a hypocritical scumbag. The SOG treating his terminally ill manager the way he did ?? The only thing he worships is his own ego
