Comments Thread For: Alvarez Felt Kovalev Had Faded, Lacked Power in Second Half

This is not news. Cryvalev has faded down the stretch “consistently” over his career because he is an undisciplined fighter. And is arrogant. He thought he could go into fights intimidating his opponents and overpower them and stopped honing his boxing skills. He wasn’t a greatly conditioned athlete either. So when he finally got into the ring with someone that wasn’t 49 years old and could fight, he got exposed; simple as that.

Alvarez has a damn good chin. There was a right hand he ate in I believe the 4th round that would've KO'd a lot of other guys and he just kept boxing. I hope we can get Bivol vs Alvarez at some point in the next year

I never understood the hype about Kovalev. Who has he really beat that wasnt a bum or washed up?

Both guys landed good bodyshots, but Alvarez’s jab really punished and slowed down kovolev in the 5,6, rounds. I think the jab was the most effective weapon last night, as Kovalev had his head snapped back on a few occasions and walked into some while attacking, kinda neutralizing his assault at times And kovolev’s style of throwing hard shots does have a tiring effect, he throws a lot, golovkin throws hard shots, but is much more calm and cerebral abou it

I just watched the fight again. Alvarez threw that punch like 9 times before he caught Kovalev. He caught him with it good at the very end of the 4th but it didn't have an effect. The first KD punch caught him best. He also landed 2 vicious uppercuts after the first KD. He hadn't thrown any uppercuts the entire fight before that but it helped speed Kovalev's devise. The second KD was from a vicious left followed up by a right. He was catching Kovalev with the left jabs and a hibrid left jab the whole fight. Alvarez is a really good fighter but Kovalev was a perfect opponent for him because of his aggressiveness.

... Nah... it's vodka!... he looked sloppy since the Chilemba fight...

Who’s the Krusher now? Anyway, I hope Kov is ok. No nervous breakdowns and hope he’s physically ok. Time to accept the truth then give it up.

Wait a minute, let’s blame his new trainer for this disaster. He could not readjust to Alvarez, which left kitty Kovelez with no answers. His new trainer is trash.

All that dirty racist talk.Did you turn on Mayweather when he made a number of racist comments toward Pac?

Alvarez didn't say that it was a 2-punch knockout. He said that he had been working on landing punches with his two knuckles. But HBO's Spanish interpreter sucks ass and has trouble keeping up with the fighter's train of thought. Exactly right.... God, i hate that guy. He does a terrible jobs.

Who he going blame this time

John David Jackson is somewhere still laughing his azz off! Karma is a mother...

Enjoyed this beat down. All that dirty racist talk and that "if he dies he dies", comment stuck with me. Ward knocked this idiot back into reality and Alvarez nailed the coffin.

i feel for him tho. loosing every year

Kovalev is done!!! Ward took his soul away. That's exactly right. No more chin, also.

Clean old Kovalev without a game plan made you run for 5 rounds

Well done mate.
