Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Will Lose To Dmitry Bivol In Rematch, Shawn Porter Predicts

Did you actually watch the fight? Those were genuine punches, which scrambled Kovalev's senses. Exactly as it had happened in Kovalev vs Ward II and Kovalev vs Eleider Alvarez.

No more punch resistance from Kovalev since those days. Vodka is a bad beast.

I definitely watched it, and it appeared as though Kovalev successfully kept him on the outside all night, tapping him with nothing that contained anything meant to due harm, and got hit by 2 punches, mind you Canelo doesn't generally have 2 punch KO power, and acted as if he couldn't continue. But I'm sure it was well worth it.

That tapping translates as "fear of being countered", if you ask me. Still, he was outboxing Canelo for good chunks of the fight... The payday was definitely great, on this I do agree with you.
