Comments Thread For: Eleider Alvarez - Don't Forget the Winner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - After what probably felt like forever in the unfulfilled role of mandatory contender to Adonis Stevenson, Colombia's latest boxing hero finally got his title shot. And he won. As is always the case when a bigger name loses a fight, it's easy to let the more familiar face become the dominant narrative. It's the story we've watched unfold longer, the one we've all been more invested in. In the age of social media, scores from well before the latest fight need to be settled as well, setting framework of conversation for hardcore followers...

enough of this ghost of ward shît...give Alvarez his credit..he dropped and stopped him 'convincingly'

I think I'm done with forums. Every thread I see is "alvarez must've been on steroids, a clean alvarez gets krushed by krusher" or "It was a one sided beat down and alvarez hit one lucky shot, big deal"

Kovalev was very overrated. If you look at his boxing record, he really hadn't fought anyone. Jean Pascal is hard hitting, but not the best boxer....and Bernard Hopkins was a hustling bum that fought defensively. Outside of those two, who had Kovalev really fought before Ward?

this article makes it seem like a fluke victory lol.. I saw a fairly competitive fight and the same way as Jones. and the same way as the boxing scene scorecard.

A bit overrated by most media. Vastly overrated by forum people who claim Kovalev should still be defeated he was robbed 3 times.

He fought everyone Stevenson the other top LHW would not. He won some and lost some. To call him overrated is moronic but if you see it that way at least he had balls unlike Adonis.

I give Alvarez all the kudos in the world for pulling off this win.

I had never seen him fight, I just knew him as the guy who waited an unacceptable amount of time to earn his shot.

I saw him remain calm and composed, and in his eyes, I saw a game plan, if that were possible.

It's quite simple- get through the early rounds, save your strength, and when you see an opportunity go for it. And he did.

He mentioned that Kovalev's punches became progressively lighter, which would suggest he was gassing out.

BTW, I have never thought Kovalev was overrated. You don't become the unified light heavyweight champion with a fearsome reputation if you're an overhyped bum.

Soo many fans come out after a named fighter loses a fight and claims like a tacky clairvoyant that they knew this would happen and they knew he was overrated etc.

A small minority of extremely savvy and experienced fans and pundits may have predicted it, but most were getting their pants wet over the possibility of a unification fight with Bivol, who is the real deal, and given the opportunity, I predict will be the unified champion within a couple of years.
