Eleider Alvarez will likely win this bout due to a combination of his hand speed, being fresher and also possessing superior conditioning.
Sergey will be dangerous early and perhaps build a fairly big lead on the judges’ scorecards during the first half of the bout. The Russian might even hurt or floor the champion at some point in time during the contest.
However, Alvarez knows he has the power to hurt Kovalev and I feel he’ll gain ownership of the winning momentum of the fight from round six onwards, which is when I’d expect Krusher to start fading, with Eleider inevitably emerging victorious by scoring a late stoppage.
That being said, Sergey Kovalev is capable of scoring an upset! But he’d need to actually listen to his new trainer, Buddy McGirt, make a few small adjustments, box smarter and safer, then this might be his last hurrah, meaning that the Krusher is certainly capable of winning this fight by decision, but he’d have to manage his stamina levels carefully in order to accomplish this remarkable feat. I just think that Sergey to too set in his ways to make these necessary changes, but I could be wrong.
Taking a break from being enlightened?
I’m sorry, I am sorry of I’ve anyone upset anyone else with my opinion.
I have to be honest, my opinion in regards to this matter is not only accurate, but it cannot be challenged.

Alvarez gets little respect, no matter what happens tonight. That is amusing.

Feels like Valdez opponent any moment will get hit big and fall but he’s doing well defensively so far.

Went down a couple of times but neither was particularly heavy. Does feel a matter of time.

Pretty excited for this fight (the main), not fussed who wins. Think it will be action packed. Lhw is a great division - they throw big shots but pace is not as measured as higher weights.

Huge Lopez round - throwing huge punches and landing. Arguable 10-8 round because of the beat down.

Lopez is bombing Magdaleno with damaging shots from time to time, but wisely not forcing it. The stoppage looks quite possible.

The bell saved Magdaleno, he was badly hurt.

Tiny_Acres and Dr. Duke
I got a friend who has a small investment in Lopez and I don't have TV when you can, can you give me an update?
The KO has finally happened. Lopez put him out hard right now.
