In what round will Canelo stop Kovalev?

[walrus]

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

You guessed correctly.

Here's a link. https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41083295-4

"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.

Yea I'm pretty disappointed, I'm impressed it was kept quiet this long. I'm sure team Canelo was saying there was no weight restrictions (although I could be wrong).

I agree with you Tito, Kovalev should just blow it off, pay the fine, if he wins it's all gravy.

His anointing on high goes all the way back to the Trout fight. Before that actually but the trout fight said it all
