2019 could very well be the year Canelo & AJ both fall. This fight will change the trajectory of boxing in a big way.
Sergey has the power to end it at any time, even with his jab, Canelo will have to be ultra aggressive getting on the inside & avoiding big shots.
This will be a classic bout, book it. Canelo wins and he's on his way to Mayweather status.

Nice Knock Out by Canelo
Nelo isn't susceptible to getting hurt, much less ended and I don't think he will be fighting a version of Kov that will get caught.
When grown men throw punches at each other, ''anything'' can happen but I'm expecting it going 12.
Neither were JP, Cleverly, Alvarez, Ward, Hopkins & these guys are much bigger than Canelo arguably as talented or better all were stopped or hurt at some point.
You cannot forget, 160 is one of the weakest divisions in boxing. We've seen multiple 160lbers fall to 154lbers & 168lbers when they move up & down in weight. The supposed top guy ggg couldn't even stop Jacobs, took him 11 to stop Murray, 9 to stop Lemieux, got in a 10 round war with Ouma etc. The guy isn't very good. Sergey would steam roll DJ in 3.
I get what your saying but alvarez was a no name before his first fight koing kov, and yarde was a relative up n comer had never fought at an elite level yet nearly had kovs head off in the 7th. Canelo is a seasoned elite level fighter in his prime a whole different beast to alvarez and yarde. It's a calculated and well timed challenge to kov imo.
Alvarez had quality wins over JP & Bute, both him & Yarde were also really large guys that hit much harder than Canelo & are probably more durable. They were also very aggressive & still got knocked out.
Canelo couldn't put a dent in Chavez, Jacobs, ggg etc. He has respectable power but going from 154-175 in such a short time is dangerous.
I go back to Jean Pascal because his power didn't carry up nor did Hopkins & several other guys. They got walked through & rained bombs on. If Canelo can't hurt Kovalev or counter that jab he will make easy work.
His worst is better than 99% of people's best.
He's got 2 really good wins over Alvarez & Yarde, big, hard hitting, durable high pressure guys.
I could see some weakness because he fought Yarde so recently as someone else said but he's still major major threat.

GGG wore sunglasses at the midnight post fight press conference to cover the two black eyes Canelo gave them.
just lol at wearing sunglasses while complaining you were robbed.

Waa waaa I was robbbbed
How many fights did Arturo Gatti win after looking at his face thinking he lost?
A prime kovalev yeah but that was years ago he's not the same animal now.

I'm talking about recently. We can go back further than Ward Kov 2 if you want.
But how many of them involved a guy leap frog 2 divisions after moving up from 154 to fight a legit champion and puncher like Kovalev?
I'm just basing it off what I've seen from recent MWs & SMWs that moved up & their struggles and Canelo is initially a 154lber. What he's doing is almost unprecedented.
Only Roy Jones Jr. Has done such a thing & he didn't attempt to fight a top 2 guy in the division.
Canelo went life and death with GGG

Canelo taking so many risks in this historic bout, he is looking to surpass SRR as a middleweight lineal champion defeating the light heavyweight lineal champion.
Haters are already coming up with their arguments to steal credit away from Canelo should he win. Lets list the hater make believe arguments and discredit them.
1. Canelo isnt jumping 2 weight classes since he fought at 168 a year ago - Fake News - Canelo fought at 160 his last fight and is the reigning middleweight lineal champion.
2. Canelo has a mystery rehydration NDA clause in the contract - Fake News - list your sources and prove it
There is more money in canelo ggg than this fight. Kovo biggest weakness is
Body shots and canelo is probably the best body puncher. Kovo is folding early mark my words.
I get that Kov is past his best but he's still a true top 175 pounder. A drained Chavez Jr didn't even wince at Canelos power shots in their super middleweight fight. 175 is way too big of a leap.
oh yea like people were real about the kovalev ward robbery? although you could tell they were grasping for straws when the normal "he schooled him" talk was reduced to "it could have went either way" when it coudn't but a small capitulation
Don't forget the, "It was borderline low, not low!" because there is a difference between being punched partly to the groin and fully to the groin lol.

... "Kovalev-Canelo is ending in knockout" only in case Kovalev would seek to stop Canelo -- which I don't believe...
... normally, this will be a "clean boxing exhibition fight", with Canelo winning a ("hard fought") decision...
ggg has gone too many rounds with guys like Jacobs, Murray, Lemieux, Ouma etc. To make me believe he doesn't hit anywhere near as hard as Kovalev.
Kovalev is also a far superior boxer off the back foot & has fought some big durable guys with power. Yarde hits harder than Canelo by a mile and he could just barely hurt Kovalev.
Jean Pascal didn't even have the power to get Kovalev off him, I'd say he hits just as hard as Canelo if not harder.
A prime kovalev yeah but that was years ago he's not the same animal now.
Ward vs Kovalev ended in a stoppage.
But the reason for that is most champions aren't KO artists.
It ended in a stoppage because Ward was going for the balls the entire time.
Canelo is an actual top guy who fights clean.

Yes sir
Totally agree
My feeling is it won’t go further than 6
I really believe Canelo will bully his way in and catch Kovi
Not sure how people can compare this fight , Canelo to fughin Yarde
Exactly who did Yarde beat and where exactly does he come from
He starts ripping him in the 4th and it’s over by the 5th or 6th
Top guy vs top guy hasn't led to any kos/tkos (Andy wasn't and still isn't a top guy).
Ward vs Kovalev ended in a stoppage.

King Kov is going to have his way with Canelo. Abuse him. He might stop him by jab, thinking about it. Kov is a mean fighter too, he won't be forgiving like Spence was with Mikey. He's going to ruin Canelo.
