What was your scorecard at the time of the Kov-Canelo fight stoppage?

I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I really don’t think it was fixed because I think the KO was real. Fighters aren’t going to allow their opponent a free shot to actually knock them out. I know that most of the oddities can be explained pretty easily but whatever. I give Canelo credit where credit is due. It was a legit win. Most fighters couldn’t go up in weight like that and beat even a faded Kovalev. I get that and am not denying that fact.

Kovalev just seemed happy to be there. His Krusher mentality was completely gone as was his chin. He didn’t seem like that even with Yarde. He still wasn’t anywhere near the old Kovalev, but he seemed to really go for it against Yarde and survive a much bigger onslaught of punches. Maybe the rehydration clause really wore him out or maybe at his age not getting enough time between fights really was too much for him. Either way, Kovalev was a different fighter that night. I think we all saw that. I’ve seen his other losses and he looked depressed afterwards. This loss he looked completely fine and happy. Just strange.

Respect.

You see, Miles, this how a non-snowflake took my perfectly reasonable comments and observations.

I had Snow-nelo down 6-4 at that's time of those knockout. Means I had Kov up 6-4

You can obviously add Alzheimer's to your list of ailments then, Beanz/Fenster. I was saying pretty similar things to begin with and yet you got triggered and launched pointless personal attacks. Fuck ya.

Precisely what boxing pundits are saying. "Happy to be there"....... "fine and happy" after a devastating loss. And YES...... everyone saw that. Again, I didn't see the fight. But I've read enough accounts to know the story.

Besides, it's nothing vastly different to what I was saying would happen before the fight.

Kovalev is DONE. Canelo's timing couldn't have been more perfect.

Fenny lashing out in a thread about a racist who preys on women getting knocked out. Is anyone surprised?

Truss me, when "Fenny" lashes out, you will know.

Kovalev was fighting 'strangely' because he was trying to fight Canelo Alvarez just like Buddy McGirt fought Simon Brown.
