How does a guy move 2 weight classes and take all these punches from a power puncher and stop him?
Malignaggi also said this before the fight this is fishy as hell.
If Oscar pays off the judges is he paying off Vada too?
Was there strict drug testing in place for this fight??? Didnt see it mentioned...
Good question...I wouldn’t doubt it if Team Alvarez made Team Kovalev sign a non-disclosure agreement about some of the drug testing.
If you make millions per fight, you can stay a step ahead of testing. Look at Memo...he got very quite all the sudden..?
Designer Drugs are expensive, but they work, all comes back to the mighty, mighty dollar
Canelo got caught roiding and it got brushed under the rug. If you mention it today you get called a number of slurs, people want to forget it ever happened. The man is clearly taking PEDs.
Yeah like Tyson Fury and his wild boar excuse. Should have had his Vlad win disallowed.
Some are totally protected and can get away with nearly anything.
Canelo got caught with PEDS and suspended for a very short periof of time and go back to boxing like there was nothing happened.. 100% sure that he's still taking those PEDS...
Guys here seem to have never watched an older fighter who's been KO'ed a few times start just losing their punch resistance completely. We've seen Kov get rocked by Ward, then Alvarez knocked him out cold, then Yarde had him on queer street, then Canelo finished him for good.
There's no conspiracy, Kovalev is just done as a top level fighter. Any of the LHW would have put his lights out even easier last night. He cashed himself out, good for him. Hopefully he retires now or we will start seeing him unconscious every fight he has against anyone B level or above
Y’all underestimating how shot kovalev is
Kov still knocked out a young LHW last fight. And threw actual right hands that fight.
He pulled punches all night last night.
Its not so much that he lost, its that he didnt TRY. If he went out on his shield in a blaze of glory, ok, but he fought scared vs a middleweight the entire night and didnt change anything when he was at risk of losing on the cards.
No doubt.
Just like most great fighters of the past 40 years.
Before Anabolic steroids there were other ways to cheat, loaded gloves, gloves laced with suspicious chemicals.
There's a reason fighters would be so careful with their water bottles.

Water would be spiked and you could get sick before the fight.
When there's so much money on the line these guys will do almost anything to win.
Wlad-Brewster 1 was the weirdest chit I ever seen. Wlad was passing out in the ring in like the 2nd round. And obviously they dont have to cut weight as heavies, so what the hell was going on. He is a consistent fighter in his training too yet never had this happen before or after. His blood sugar was all ****ed up and low and then they claim they lost his blood samples at the hospital.
Maybe he pissed off some russian mob or something. IDK what it was but it was weird. He was exhausted from round 1, it was not like the Ross Purity fight with him tired in the late rounds.

You seen the pulled power puff punches that Kov threw right?
Kov threw punches like he was teaching a boxercise class to somebody's grandma and didnt want to harm her
canelo couldn't hurt or even drop Jacobs, couldn't hurt old man Cotto, couldnt hurt JCC Jr. etc. etc. but he KO lhw kovalev with two punches????????? hmmmmmmmmmmm
Canelo did hurt Cotto, badly, which is why Cotto ran at points. Canelo did hurt JCC Jr which is why JCC Jr didnt fight..just covered up and moved for 12 rounds (like Clottey). Jacobs is not much smaller than Kovalev and he got caught with some good shots, but nothing like the final combination
Tbh I'm a Canelo fan, but it was a timely fight for Canelo.
Yarde almost KTFO Kovalev in the 2nd half of fight, Alvarez did KTFO Kovalev in 2nd half as did Ward. Kovalev has been trending down over the last 2-3 years late in fights and Canelo was able to maintain very high pressure
People whine about steroids, but if Canelo did use a PED it wouldve been something for stamina not power. Canelo was full steam most of the night - impressive.
Canelo can enter conversation for PFP #1 even if Kovalev was a shadow of himself...2 weight classes is 2 weight classes.
i respect your opinion and i think GGG won the first but the second one i think canelo beat GGG at his own game...
in a 3rd fight , id pick canelo by stoppage
Thanks...I wouldn't be surprised...GGG is kind of a tank though so it would surprise me a bit if he got KOed...but Nelo is looking stronger than ever right now
If they fought again I think Canelo would have to be favored...but idk I felt fight 2 was 50-50 going in but GGG still outworked him and won that one 8-4 again for me, just like fight 1.
But Nelo has looked better post GGG2...GGG looks a little old...though SD may have given Canelo a hell of a fight as well.

well , he already got caught doping so....
having said that , he is very skilled fighter and the argument of him being superior to GGG is way too clear to be true now IMO
