My initial pick was Canelo by KO...however i'm reminded of Kovalev vs Yarde and how this enormous LHW, just couldn't get it done against the old man. Coupled with Garcia's surprisingly poor showing against the larger Spence and bear in mind, Garcia had looked really quite special prior to that.
I'm flip flopping and going Kovalev on points
Kovalev by KO.
Can certainly see Kovalev winning 8 rounds and there will be a "draw" setting up a trilogy.
Does Kovalev have a rematch clause? It is a voluntary defense of course. Perhaps this is why DAZN has rights on Kovalev as part of this?
It is possible Las Vegas will pay Kovalev back after screwing him twice against Ward and for giving Canelo questionable calls in the past.
