In what round will Canelo stop Kovalev?

[holmcall]

it’s a typical canelo match up. He will fight a guy who used to be a good fighter, but over five years into his decline. Kovalev hasn’t looked good since well before the ward fight, and by all accounts he abuses his body in between fights.

He has a good jab and is a good ‘backwards and forwards in straight lines’ technician.

But he has shown weakness to the body and an inability to fight at short range. Canelo will beat him up if he walks him down like he showed he could do the second time against ggg. Kovalev is quite easy to hit, and he has shown lots of signs of quitting when he isn’t getting his way. Canelo does have a good chin so i don’t see how kov can stop him.

Incidentally, i don’t agree that kovalev will be the biggest puncher that alvarez has faced - i always thought golovkin hit harder, and with more accuracy.

In between X joke, porn and travel post's, he gets around to boxing and writes some of the most articulate and succinct posts ever. He should do it more often.

GGG does not hit harder than Kovalev.

Does A.Stevenson hit harder than Wilder?

Canelo fades after the 6th round and that’s the same with Kovalev.

Just imagine how prepared Kovalev will be for this fight..

Kovalev arguably beat a former P4P fighter in Ward in the first fight and will not tolerate being outboxed by a smaller franchise champion.

I rate Canelo but the sick, corrupt organisation behind him is allowing him to do whatever he wants..did we forget he’s a drug cheat.?!

If you do not think Canelo can win then you should be happy that he is taking on Kov and you will be proved right?

With NO CLAUSES! Fight him at 175. No hydration clauses or CW's. Fight the man. I dare him.

No.

If Canelo does loose it’s the weight excuse..Canelo should be beating the best in his division..stay at 160 and beat Andrade, beat up GGG (convincingly) and fight BJS at 168 for another belt..then after that, around early 2021 Kovalev will be old enough and less of a risk for the fight to be happen.

It’s all talk at the moment..nothing signed.

No way. Don't let him use that chance to 'beat' Kovalev. Fight him now at 175 and get done what he did to Khan. Look cheeky for a few rounds and then get Krushed. It's what he wants. Go for it.

Id rather see canelo fight at middleweight rather than this kovalev fight, it'll just end in some stupidity like the kov ward fights, and kov will probably just get bummed out of it due to some daftness
