Comments Thread For: Hunter on Kovalev: Russian Fighters Don't Do Well in Dog Fights!

[BluDivision]

I didnt say it was Canelos problem, it just explains the wear and tear issue isn't the way you explain it. It was still a 35 year old lasting the pace better than a 25 year old, retaining he's titles and beating him in the eyes of most. Trout is Canelos best win because he didn't really deserve Lara, and even if he did it was an awful fight. Saying youre likely to get the short end of a decision against a guy who had a draw on one card with Floyd is a reasonable assumption, and so it turned out, the only judge that had Canelo winning had an outrageous scorecard. Nobody told me who won, I watched it live an had Golovkin winning. My prediction was Golovkin by stoppage as it always was, Canelo showed he's tough and slick. But the GGG haters had him being "destroyed" before the fight. Not quite how it turned out was it? Shame your predictions were off the record. How do you see a rematch going?

Canelo by split decision. Better defense and counter punching! Still will be controversial! Just like Toney vs McCallum!

The 2 styles don't mix well at all! Not much of an entertaining fight!

No Standing 8 Count....

Also he turned his back in the midst of a fight a couple times! That's a signal he doesn't wanna fight!

A fighter sitting on the ropes or being supported by the ropes is down. The standing 8 count rule is not relevant!

Kovalev definitely did not turn his back on Ward a couple of times. Only time he had his back to Ward was once, at the start of the 8th, when he was spun round off balance from a clinch and turned away briefly to avoid Ward following through with his head.

Gave 3 examples, and none of them were actually Russian, in order to support his condescending, racist, **** opinion.

Rigo ducked the fight 2 years ago when it was offered at 126. But who cares, they are fighting now, Loma doesn't duck anyone.

And how does GGG duck Charlo? He barely had his first fight at 160...

Not sure if trolling, or straight up ******ed.

GGG's team been making all sorts of excuses not to fight Charlo since he became the mandatory. He clearly has ever intention of ducking Charlo.

Loma ducked Rigo. Rigo wanted them to meet halfway at 124, as both would give up 2lbs. But Loma pussied out and wanted Rigo to give up everything while he didn't give up anything.

Then when Loma moved to 130, again Rigo offered a 50/50 split in weight where they would meet at 126 with Rigo giving up 4lbs and Loma also giving up 4lbs.

Loma's team refused and said 4lbs is too much, Rigo then said okay let's meet at 128 then, I'll give up 6 lbs you give up only 2. Loma still ducked and said they will only make the fight at 130lbs.

They didn't think Rigo would call their bluff but he did, he said okay 130lbs then. Then Loma's team tried to use the purse split to discourage Rigo by offering him a small cut of the purse. But Rigo called kept on calling their bluffs until they had no choice but to take the fight.

It was ok coming on the back of Mayweather Mcgregor but your right I didn't think it was nearly the classic we all hoped for. It's possible Saul can raise he's game he's just got to be more active in the later rounds, Golovkin out worked him and has a great chin, he's unlikely to fade but he's not going to get any better at he's age.

Although Charlo still hasn't got much of a profile theres no getting out of the fight if he's the mandatory, they're not likely to give the belt to him because that would be the height of hypocrisy. Im not sure why anyone would be afraid of Charlo and why some people seem in awe of him. He looked average versus Trout and beat a chinny Williams. He's last fight he took ages to stop a one legged man. I don't get the fixation with him. Suddenly he's Tommy Hearns around here.

Seriously! I didn't even read a word of it. Are people really this desperate to heard?

Uh, who cares? There hasn't been a moment in time where the fight with Charlo could have happened, so it's dumb to scream ducking.

Uhhh, the point is, Rigo got offered a fight at 126 and declined, despite the money being right. Loma was already getting ready in camp, but Rigo didn't want to move up.

And why would Loma move down from 130 to 126, Now that Rigo is desperate? That's ******ed. Once you move up and have been acclimated to a weight class, you shouldn't go down, because you never went to cut weight if it involves losing muscle mass. If Rigo was a big name like Floyd that would give him ****** money, then by all means go for it. But, he's not.

If Charlo were average....Canelito would have fought him already.
