Kovalev was clearly ahead. Not that it matters now. Everything about this fight was always going to favor Canelo. Kovalev is clearly not the same guy. He knows it himself. He wont even try to open up. He gets stopped the first.big punch he takes. Like Ward said, he is Kovalev. He is not the Krusher
Fat boy Dan is a GGG Stan that's been hating on canelo forever and is always wrong. Kovalev wasn't landing shyt volume punching that misses hitting gloves and air don't win rounds. Canelo landed more and more importantly landed the much cleaner harder shots backing the big man up and broke Kovalev down and then iced him making corn ball hating chumps like fat boy Dan irrelevant. LMAO
The reason it won rounds is because it clearly wasn't Canleo's game plan being implemented it was Kovalevs. Even if its not being implemented particularly well, it was controlling the pace and distance of the fight.
It was a bad game plan, it sort of worked, but it did nothing to drain Canelos tank, and just created a situation where you had to hope Kovalev had the stamina to do it all night, which he didnt.
Having the older bigger fighter outwork the smaller younger fighter was a bad idea.
Kovalev was probably ahead, but they weren't dominant rounds, they were Canelo wasn't doing anything so Kovalev barely doing something was winning rounds rounds.
I don't understand why go with a gunshy McGirt who is coming off having Dadashev die on him. Of course he is going to train Kovalev to be the most risk adverse fighter he can.
Hes not going to advocate for him to go in and mix it up and use his power after he just had a fighter die on him.
McGirt had a bad game plan. It was "winning" rounds just because Canelo was doing nothing. It ended up gassing him out and getting him knocked out.

A bit wide had it 6-4 up until the 10th, I could even had it 5-5. But wasnt wide for Canelo or wide for kova.
Either way Kova looked like shiet in the 11th. Most probably Canelo was going to win it on the scorecards. At least in mine.
