The biggest question in this fight is how well Canelo can take Kovalevs punch. Canelo has definitely had his chin tested. He took big shots from GGG. Kovalev is a whole other animal though. We will see what happens.

---

Yeah, I have no questions about Canelo's chin either. To me the biggest question is Kovalev's durability. He's shown a tendency to wear out, especially when hit to the body which I'm sure Canelo and his team are well aware of. Whatever aura of invincibility Kovalev had was erased by his TKO loss to Ward in their second fight. Otherwise this fight would not be happening.

---

I probably forgot yes, he did take a few hard shots from Golovkin, yet he took them well, he rolled with the punches. So I can see why you he abover posts are saying they haven't a question about the chin. still Kovalev is bigger and badder and power is the last thing to go on a fighter and Kovalev has that in the bag just waiting to strike early for the upset. I'll bet the odds come out at 3-2 Canelo favor

About the body shots yes, the classical Mexican left hook to the liver may also end it all for the beaten up Kovalev as you said, but durability point I have to disagree on it any man determined if professional caliber as Kovalev can whip himself into shape for durability on such a big night.

I hope Alvarez takes on Andy ruiz for the Mexican heavyweight title after this, I'd watch.

I can see Kovalev fighting smart, ramming that jab from a distance. Canelo will want to get inside and work but Kovalev is underrated as a boxer Imo and Canelo can be a bit flat footed. Maybe he thinks he can walk Kovalev down, I don't know. Kov is much bigger and this is close to fight time and fresh off a fight, so the size won't change all that much. It is a strange fight for Canelo and certainly not something GGG would have considered doing. It is all a bit wild and weird.

Not sure about anything being wild or weird here I don't know what that's the right words for me to use? Agree with you on he is flat-foot style but got on bicycle often against Gelovkin, so can move sideway or lateral at times. Maybe weird is to us to be seeing Canelo dance while Kovalev is cutting the ring and missing long punches , especially that long overhand rights and lead-off rights. Did you see Kovalev leadoff rights against Yarde? He can't try that type of punch on Canello because Canello would lefthook to the liver underneath, it's lights out for Kovalev liver if he does leadoff rights and misses and his right side is wide open for counters to the liver. My view is Canelo can't win unless Kovalev throws lazy carefree lead off rights and gets counted out from a Mexican classic body punch (left hook).

I don’t want to get religious here but please lord let kov win

This is why I find it strange people say that Canelo is certain to win and that he has handpicked Kov. This is an exciting fight and challenge for Saul and brings much more intrigue than a normal defence at middleweight.

Give the guy a break and I am a triple G fan.

Agree wholheartedly on Benn and Kov your points both , those said "Canelo certain to win_ are then forgetting how much bigger of a fighter not fame but SIZE is Kov. Stats I have found are Kov, Krusher, 6 feet even, 72 inch reach, but age 36. But Canelo , short 5 ft 8, and reach 70", but advantage 28 years old. given all that, Krusher has it.

Sorry don’t want to go through the whole thread again but since this is a canelo fight it’s DAZN which is internet only correct. I’m really interested in DAZN but all these services with the monthly charges really add up. I’d really like to see this live but may catch it the next day on allthebestfights.

This is definitely no guarantee win for Canelo. When I say handpicked I mean a low risk high reward fight against a named opponent who he matches up well stylistically against.

In that case in that is what you are saying I agree extremely high reward but I would not say a low-risk. I didn't agree when it said it was weird and wild a few posts above this one. I think that stretching the reality of what the nuts and bolts really are.
About the styles is hard to predict. I re-watched the fight against Yarde 2 times today and kovalev was missing a lot of looping overhand rights which is bad for like I said he is leaving open his liver for the Mexican classical left hook. If and when he keeps his elbow in tight I mean his right elbow in tight to his liver then he can avoid Canelo left hook as a counter shut everytime kovalev miss With that looping right. Leadoff right hand he threw more like a jab I don't know if that will work either with canela

So if Canelo loses you think that’s a huge blow to his career?

No because kovalev is just such an icon. Canelo can be forgiven for getting sparked. It's like when holyfield beat Tyson in the first fight. Tyson could be forgiven because holyfield still had a magic night inside of him

Weird and wild in that you have a short fighter unproven beyond MW (last fight was a joke) against someone who has been very stromg in his division. On Canelo's part it looks somewhat wild and weird. There was no request for this fight from boxing fans yet here it is and it is a tough one for him. Wild and weird in quite a fascinating way.

wild and weird now I know what you mean , Wild and that kovalev will be throwing some wild punches! , may be weird due he to may go down from a body shot. As you say on Canelos part but I think he is grabbing for the glory to beat a name brand fighter at 175, cuz he got sick of hearing criticised about catch weight. "won't go over 160 blah blah blah" now he wants to silence his critics

It's very strange because he publicly denies it, but surely Canelo realizes he lost twice against GGG. Maybe then again he doesn't and with all the gifts and nursing he really thinks he is something else. I see a good fighter, but one that tends to lose his biggest fights. I hope Kovalev stops him. It would be good for boxing to see that happen at last and Kovalev deserves his moment having been 'Caneloed' Golovkin style against Ward, who though I dislike, is a better fighter than Canelo.

He is been coddled and pampered and now believes the hype and truely believes he can beat akovalev. Kovalev Krusher has a magic night left like I said same as Holyfield had 1 magic night in '96 where the people said he was dead already. He shock up the world beating Iron Mike. Krusher can shock the world and destroy Canelo.

Exactly. So it’s a low risk fight. If he loses, nobody will think anything of it because of the size difference. If he wins, it boosts his rating a ton

No issues either. You understand that it is weird and wild and we thus agree. It is a wild fight in that you have a man who has only only fought at MW against a man that had Bernard Hopkins running around confused and who appears to at least put down most of the opponents he faces and has beaten every opponent he has been in the ring with.

The equalizer is arguably that it might well be a Toney/Holyfield story. We will see. Toney was of course a rather wild chap as was Manny as he tore through the weights and orbital bones. Wild for me means taking on challenges and with an additional e an Irish playwright and novelist.

OK got it.

As much as I'd love to see Kov keep that telephone pole jab to head and body and keep Canelo on the end for his right and left hook I just can't. To many intangibles for me and whatever Canelo is, he isn't a fool and is a master manipulator of peripheral factors. Kov will have the height but regularly gives up the range. Canelo has shown he can bulk up remain sturdy..officially and unofficially..and not suffer loss of hand speed, defense and a decent beard. He's been allowed to go up in weight as he pleases even to the point of 'new contracts' being rushed out on fight night as in the Angulo fight. Look I'm in a long line of those who see him a coddled diva but he always enters with maxed out pluses. I give him a big mental edge over Kovalev at this point and we know for certain that he is a top notch body investor and Kovs soft spot may very well be immediately above his belt line. Best bet for Kov would be to turn the tables and all the pre hypothetical and look to make Canelos gut target numero uno. Box off that superb jab. Else he'll overreach on Canelo looking for follow up..who will let him do just that early..and get himself into the a danger zone his backfoot and defense cannot get him out of repeatedly. Kov is a entirely different animal long pop and punch select wise compared to what he has faced..Jacobs comes close..but me thinks he'll get sucked into some mesh of being partly rattled mentally and partly forcing his 'big size difference' as he takes more and more counters and Canelo will switch on and off maxing out his mistakes. But in the end I hope I'm wrong and Canelo gets crumpled up in a heap. Any odds on an out of the blue delay once the fight nears btw? Canelo and Oscar..they squeeze every advantage out before the bell even rings :-X.

Smackdown points there. Like I said like you said, same thing really. kov will over reach, Canelo will counter hard left to vodka drinker 36 years liver. I said kov has looped shots like you said too, and rewatching the Yarde fight I saw kov missing tons of overhand rights and lead-off rights. Perfect for Canelo s left to the liver. Still I m praying for Kov to reach down one magic time again, and deliver the goods.

If Kovalev can actually stayed disciplined during training camp and during the fight, I think it should be an easy victory. The problem is that I don’t see that. He just came off a fight not long ago where he was almost stopped. Also, I’m going to guess that this big payday is more of a hinderance than a help. I think he won’t care so much about the fight as much as just being happy to get the paycheck.

yea he seems to get sloppy and lose focus at 36, his heart may not be in the game now look. He has to whip himself into the best shape ever to fight the young Canelo with less recovery time. He shouldn't train too hard or overtraining at 36 is a death sentence.

I really like Kov under McGirt, definitely strengthens his chances of victory for me.

Let’s hope. It is strange that just about everybody that I see is picking Canelo to win. Basically everyone knows that Canelo is a good body puncher and that Kovalev is very weak to the body.

I said it before but if Kovalev can stick to his jab, which is a very good jab, I think that he should be able to easily outbox Canelo. Let the knockout come but don’t go for it. Canelo is a lot shorter than Kovalev so he should be able to keep him on the outside fairly easily. But Kovalev’s worst enemy is himself.

Kov is suseptible to Mexico left hook on liver. Kov throws that's lazy leadoff right and whole side of Kov is open for such Mexico liver hooks. Vodka liver get hooking from Canello = Kov gets knocking the fuck out!

Kovalev will have been hit harder to the body than by Canelo who fights in spurts. If anything that laziness will be good for Kovalev. A single body shot from a man who couldn't stop countless others with one is unlikely for me. People are too taken with the Ward penile assault.

C a n n e l l is short and compact and he can that things deliver short compact Mexico left hook to 37 year old man liver

Cannello is slick like a snake. He will grease himselves up and quickness, youth, versus to old man Kov, I think Cannello can duck quick down to his left, step forward quick with his left foot, and Mexico hook to 37 year old vodka liver.

Grease himsleves up? ;D

It is true that the Golden goose is tragically underrated but I don't think even Oscar would try and squeeze some Paxo up his Cinnamon rum


Points to Canelo

Himself. I made that spelling maistake of "himsleves". And you have said a funny thing about Cinnamon rum ! :rocks:
I shoulder explain what I mean by grease-up himselfs. I mean somefighter like Waldimir Klitschok uses grease or you can call that's Vaseline. We do remember about that Lemon Brewer fight when Wald has greased-up his body and then what's that happened that HE could not to perspire, and he over-heat and gas-out and he then was crawl across on those knees to the canvas and got stopped by referee. So Canello may grease-up for those opposite raison, what is to slick and slip past the Kov punches of Krusher, the punches may slide off Cannello.

I originally got Kov at 5/1, and am actually starting to feel this could be easy money.

Had anyone else heard about a 185 rehydration clause for this fight? @TitoFan will love this.

You guessed correctly. ;D

"Canelo vs. Kovalev has rehydration clause in contract"



I don't love it, but fully expected it. In fact, I was surprised something like that hadn't come up to this point. After all..... what's a Canelo fight without some kind of weight-related clause stacking the odds in his favor? ;) ;)

Which is why I stand by my opinion that Canelo is one of the most, if not THE most handfed, coddled, overrated, pre-anointed fighter in the history of the sport.

The Franchise Champion tag was created specifically for Canelo. What other fighter can claim an "honor" like that?

So that's right. Hobble the already ripe-for-the-picking Kovalev (the poor fool) by putting a shackle on how weight he can regain.

If I was Kov I'd say fuck it..... show up at whatever weight I want..... and knock Canelo's ginger locks off his shoulders.
