No way is the fight this Saturday. That's crept up quietly. Good fights coming thick and fast atm. Hope Alvarez finishes Kovalev's career. Never liked him and always thought he was an over rated bully puncher.

Originally posted by Offic.Scorecard View PostI think Alvarez stops him. If you watch the first fight, Kovalev started winning every round from the 3rd round on, at least in my opinion. But my problem is, he didn't started winning rounds because of his skills, but because he hurt Alvarez in the 3rd round, who then went into full survival mode and kept covering up for 3-4 rounds, so Kovalev was simply outlanding him as a result. But before he hurt him in the 3rd, Alvarez was outboxing him and countered him a hundred times with his jab. He was looking fresher and was beating Kov to the punch up till that point. Kov was looking very slow, slugish, and his reactions and timing were way off.
I expect Alvarez to win, probably by stoppage, and Kovalev will struggle to win any big fights against top guys for however long he continues.

Also it was round 4 that Kovalev hurt Alvarez.

Alvarez takes this one again. Kovalev and his team are saying Alvarez landed a "lucky punch" in the first fight...im-possible. No such thing as luck in this sport.
As Ward mentioned several times, Kovalev can't be corrected or taken to task about coming up short in training and during fights. He's STILL making excuses for his losses. Not a good look.
