Comments Thread For: Kovalev: If Canelo Gave Me One More Month of Rest, Result Would Have Been the Same as Bivol's

Lies he wasn’t winning nothing all three judges had him losing up to the stoppage and Kovalev was landing 16 percent of his punches that’s he didn’t land ****

All 3 of canelo's judges had Kovalev losing? Even though Kovalev was clearly ahead on everyone else's card? Haha. Of course Canelo's judges had him ahead. When do they not?

Sorry Kov, 9 weeks between fights may be "crazy", as u call it, by modern standards. But in years past, fighters fought every few days sometimes. So now u wanna be a diva and a crybaby, saying it was too soon. What happened to fighters who stay in shape in- between fights, that don't ever have to drop 25 lbs to get ready for any fight? So your problem is lack of dedication and conditioning. U only train when u get the call for a fight. And in between calls, ur drinking potato vodka and probably sniffing blow too

You're forgetting about the weight restriction to weaken him too. That's huge. It shouldn't brushed aside like it doesn't mean anything. It meant everything.

Canelo never had a problem with fighting Kovalev with a longer training camp despite the phony hater narratives claiming the contrary. He had approached Kovalev with an offer 6 months prior but Kovalev said he preferred fighting Yarde first and put the fight off until afterward. Meanwhile it was DAZN not Canelo that selected the fight date. If he was unhappy, he could have passed and hoped to reschedule later knowing Canelo badly wanted it but opted to go through with it.

The situation wasn't even optimal from Canelo's end because up until he secured the win over Yarde, it was uncertain of whether Canelo would indeed be facing Kovalev at 175 or stay at 160. So not a lot of time to prepare for a huge leap in weight. At any rate, Canelo looked more on point than against Bivol and was beating him to the punch with swift hard counters that had Kovalev reluctant to open up and eventually broke him down. Kovalev was coming off beating two undefeated top 10 light heavies yet was taken out by the smaller man.

Yarde was the mandatory. Either Kovalev fought him, or he was to be stripped. Canelo wanted that belt. That's why the Yarde fight happened first.

Bivol vs Canelo he was never ahead on the scores.

Bivol vs Canelo he was never ahead on the scores.

All 3 judges had Canelo winning the first 4 rounds. They had it even after 10.

The training is a lot more sophisticated, the old days they would train at pretty much one level and fought easy fights frequently, a fighter today cannot train to today's intensity and ramping for 18-20 weeks straight without being stale, staying in shape and peaking are 2 very different spaces with different effects on the body.

U crazy lol

While the short camp was bu!!shyte on Canelo’s part. I doubt it makes any difference. The tools Bivol used to EASILY beat Canelo, Kovalev doesn’t have.

You think prime Kov still loses to Canelo?
