Sergey Kovalev v Saul Canelo Alvarez 2/11/19 Sky Sports/DAZN

[Batman]

It's actually 7/2 (3 and half to 1) in the article not 4/1 (sorry to be so anal).

Kovalev is seriously being overlooked here, little Canelo has to get to his body first. Kovalev doesn't just have big power but a great jab and skill. His revenge over Alvarez was superb. He's folded twice against an all-time great and a world-class 175-er, in neither did he have such physical advantages.

Having said that I fancy Canelo to win, he's in his absolute pomp and looking better and better with each fight.

Odds are 4.33 on paddy power

kov should have this

I don’t bet, but if I did, I would for sure put some money on Kovalev. As I’ve said before, if he stays sharp and disciplined, he should be able to use his jab and win the fight pretty easily. Canelo wears out just like Kovalev does. Also, Canelo is probably bulking up which will be even worse for his stamina.

[Beanz]

It is a fascinating fight but I can see Canelo being disciplined enough to win on points and outbox an ageing Kovalev.

[Primo Carnera]

Kovalev will be paid a very good retirement purse to lose.

[Spicoli]

Really convinced this all boils down to Kovs current mental preparedness. He is going to have to push through with the same focus he had the other Alvarez and we all know those two are worlds apart. I have no doubt he'll get seriously hurt in the body at some point but if he can revert a bit and fight with a nasty but smart two fisted attack behind the jab and those subtle half steps to get the shorter guy walking on he's as live as anyone and wouldn't be shocked to see Canelos nose and forehead implode. Both of these guys can throw plans out the window and fight thickheaded. Head says Canelo via stoppage late, heart says Kovalev fights with surprising discipline and gets crooked on the cards.
