Andre ward Vs Carl froch was a bigger fight than this and it happened in Atlantic City in 2011

and only 5600 people went to that flop. what a star give him 6.5 million!

Atlantic City? WOW? I bet AC hasn't had a fight of this magnitude in over a decade! Should be a good one! Classic "Boxer vs. Puncher" bout!

hopkins vs kovalev was there

Alvarez will go for the "belt" ... Hoping that liver has healed properly since Ward because Eleider will be all over that soft spot...

kovalev is a boxer too...dont set up self fulfilling prophecies like some people did with kovalev-ward and when kovalev easily outboxed him they thought ward was winning cause he was the "boxer" and doing amazing things when in reality he was eating more punches and holding to run out the clock

I've never read or heard any boxing analyst, anywhere, at any time of Kovalev's career, describe Kovalev as a "Boxer!" He's a devastating "Puncher" with a "Deadly Right Hand!" I can hear Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman right now! I definitely never heard RJJ describe Kovalev as a "Boxer." He should know one when he sees one!

I'm not trying to diss AC! I really didn't realize they had some good fights. They just are so much different then when I grew up! The Tyson Era Atlantic City! I wish them well, especially after Sandy!

This sucks. I was really looking forward to watching kovalev lose to Marcus Browne. Now I have to settle for him fighting another pedestrian opponent.

Not sure why everyone thought Stevenson ducked Alvarez. I chalked it up to behind the scenes politics or whatever. He would've KO'd this guy easy. Now if kovolev KOs Alvarez we're gonna hear him, his promoter and his moronic fans claiming he took care of a guy that stevenson ducked. Caveman logic....

Kovalev would beat up Browne and **** him up much worse than Browne beats up his women...

GREAT FIGHT!

Alvarez always brings it and Kovalev just might be on the downslide.

At no point in time did andre or Sergio easily outbox one another.

Don’t be fooled
Alvarez is no fughin pushover
A lot of anger and patience , waiting to get a shot at a title
I would not be too surprised to see Alvarez scoring a victory
He is a man on a mission and very desperate
Never underestimate a desperate man
I could see a points victory over Kovalev

liver? you meant testicles, right?
