Kovalev hasnt faced anyone with the supreme class to really exploit his body besides Ward. Ward and Canelo, these guys are master tacticians. Maybe Hopkins 10 years prior could've done it. Canelo's team is moving pieces on the chess board here. Canelo has opened a -400 favorite. When you have 2 of the judges in your pocket every fight you can take calculated risks like this.

Plus the quick turn around from the tough fight with Yarde for the 36 year old is the biggest determinant and advantage for Canelo right now...but f**k it Kov can win and he will get paid for sure..retirement money. I wonder what drug testing policy is in place for this fight..

I feel Canelo will do it

I don't think Canelo is beating anyone at LHW but Kovalev. If this fight was 5 years ago, Canelo gets mopped up. He has taken this fight precisely because Kovalev is on the back 9, seems to have lost some snap in his punches, some nastiness in his personality & has become a bit chinny. Bivol & Gvozdyk both handle Canelo. He cannot beat those younger guys at 175, certainly not Bivol. At the very latest, Kovalev should have retired after he avenged his last loss to an Alvarez

Canelo was at caneloweight 5 years ago. 155.. but even then he was still draining himself.

canelo will annihilate the old pathetic wino both physically & mentally but one thing is for sure, he will do it to the BODY.

ribcracking, soulcrushing, bonebreaking punches to the body!

canelo will eat jabs all night, if canelo gets to him to the body, kovalev is smart enough to get out of there, no way he knocks out kovalev.

but no doubt at the end of the night they will give it to canelo, no matter what no matter how.

margaret thatcher wrote: ↑14 Sep 2019, 18:33 I am picking Canelo myself, but I am not been able to convince myself yet in the stuff about Canelo easy blowout.

1. Canelo hasn't blown out top fighters at any weight, whether 154 or 160

2.Kovalev has never just been destroyed easy work. He's been competitive in every one of his fights, and in the Ward stoppage he wasn't even down. He's fragile and may be past his best, but it's not like he's some totally glass corpse of a man. He's still winning and even when he's lost he's been either well ahead or right in the fight. People do seem to exaggerate a bit about him being done. He hasn't actually even been dropped by a bodyshot.

3. People who say Canelo will destroy Kov often then act like Canelo has little chance vs other top LHWs, or they simply won't entertain those bouts. Why though? If Canelo annhilates Kov that's one of the best wins anyone has at LHW, and he will have shown himself to be much more effective than the likes of the very solid LHW E. Alvarez. Why then act like he doesn't have a real good shot to beat a crude, dropped guy like Beterbiev, E. Alvarez, or Gvo, etc.

margaret thatcher wrote: ↑14 Sep 2019, 19:07 Why would I mention all the names of the people who hold a certain common opinion? It's easy work to find people thinking Canelo beats him up, is there some rule of posting that I have to quote each person who believes it?
