I'm not screaming "Fixed" BUT people proclaiming Kovalev was winning when he was jabbing Gloves. If he was landing all those jabs then Canelo should've had way more Damage to the face. He was mostly jabbing at Gloves!
I've only seen the fight live but this is what I saw. But this is typical boxing fan schtick, most dont pay attention to what's landing, they score via I guess what Kellerman calls the "story of the fight". And when you're ignoring the punches landing you can basically write your own story.
Don’t think he threw the fight but I don’t think he cared too much. On the copp podcast they said he didnt get paid anything for his first 17 fights so all he could think about was the money.

Think you meant to say Kovalev in the bolded. I agree 100 % Canelo is a masterful counter puncher with power ,and was countering the **** out of him .
Righto - thanks for the catch.
Except against Canelo his jab was pathetic from the opening bell, and he was fighting small, crouching himself to be on Canelo’s level, instead of fighting long and keeping Canelo at a distance by hitting him from the top. His jab was lazy from the opening bell. Kovalev came to lose.
I disagree that his jab was pathetic. Some of them were good jabs. Others were feeling out jabs. Most fighters threw both.
And yes, he did fight small, especially in the beginning. I chalked that up to protecting his midsection.
Don't think he came to lose. He boxed well and was ahead on my card. His activity level did drop. In the postfight interview, Kov blamed the short turnaround from Yarde fight, which can be true.. but at the same time, he gassed early in his last 4-5 fights too.
Well, that was a fixed fight. Anyone who really follows and knows boxing Saw it. Just a little ashamed of the pro boxers and analysts who were going with the flow of thinking that the ko was real.
This. Fight was fixed. DAFIX is the Cheatelo network now. Please subscribe to DAFIX because we are losing money lol
Disagree. He had the same gameplan against Eleider as well - box him and stay on the outside. Canelo was smaller, faster, and a known body snatcher, which made Canelo never load up on his punches. I believe Kov got hit with a hook in the 2nd round too.

To those saying why Kovalev didn't have a rest after his most recent fight, well is because Canelo needed the short notice as the drug testing only starts when the fight is announced.
They KO might have been legit...but the process leading up to that "KO" seemed suspect. I saw Kovalev throwing punches at Canelo as if afraid to hurt him the entire fight...kinda like how a dog plays with his pups...
This! Green K.
Pacquiao only started taking OSTD after Marquez put him to sleep. He was afraid of needles, but has some tattoo in his body. Canelo beat Golovkin, Jacobs, and Kovalev drug free. You are just jealous that Canelo has the potential to have a better resume than Pacquiao if he beats Bivol, Beterviev, Callum Smith and win a title at Cruiserweight.
On your previous statement, you said that Pacquiao was using PEDs in the late 2000's.The great Marquez KOed Pacquiao during their fourth meeting in 2012. Now, what's OSTD again?Do you mean OSDT or Olympic drug testing? Are you okey? Or do you have some flash backs of Manny Pacquiao fighting? Man, you're avoiding my second question. And didn't give any evidence to support your claims that Pacquiao was a drug cheat, I'll ask you the same question again.
1. Have Pacquiao ever been tested positive for any banned substance? 2. Are you aware that Canelo has been suspended for 6 months because of a doping violation?
You mispelled stupid and comprehend in the same sentence. You're clearly describing yourself. You can't do anything simple when you can't spell the words right, and you babble about things that you can't even understand at first. Idiot, Farewell.
Lmao. I figure if i start typing like a ****** youll start understanding me
i already did. My first response to you gave my reasonings against a fix.
You are too stuoid to comphrend.
You are too stupid for me to talk to.
I cant put it any more simple.
Youre the only person in the thread that cant comphrend my first. Read it aloud to yourself, s.l.o.w.l.y
no wonder you think its a fix. Youre dumb ****.
I tried. Youre stupid. Lmao.. Bye

Canelo is just a better fighter at higher weight classes. I think he was weight drained at 160.I suspected he was having trouble making 160 when he passed on fighting any middleweight to fight Kovalev instead. I doubt he ever fights at 160 again. He looked good at 175 and is probably now a natural 168 pound boxer. He has very good power at 175 and the punches he KOed Kovalev with were very fast hard punches.
Right two *******s spotted on my thread, now answer my questions. 1. Have Pacquiao ever been tested positive for any banned substance? 2. Are you aware that Canelo has been suspended for 6 months because of a doping violation?

Obviously. He's possibly the DUMBEST person i have ever talked to. No wonder he thinks the fight was a fix. Lmao. He perfectly represents anyone calling it a fix
Lol. you know what's dumb? You fools have not been able to see that the fight has been staged. In addition, what was more savage, the cards of the judges, Cheatelo was in two of them.
Most of us know what a hard punch looks like. It's fast with lots of weight turned into the punch. Anybody who has seen Kovalev fight knows the speed and body weight he puts into his strait right and left hook. I never saw Kovalev throw a real KO punch with bad intentions at any time in the entire fight. If he did throw a hard punch I missed it. So what's up? Did a guy know as the crusher for his KO record and punching power lose his power or just decide not to throw hard punches for some reason?
