I see Kov winning big tomorrow

[Boxingraya]

What other 175lber can say he’s better than Kov after he wins his title back

I expect him to win and be the #1 in his division again

Beterbiev, Browne, Bivol and Olek would have to be favored over Kovs at this point.

Too much hanging over his head. I expect he’ll look like Corrales against Floyd.

If only alvarez was even in the same stratosphere as floyd to be able pull off a performance like that but unfortunately for him, hes not.

Kovalev can easily do it, it's just a question of whether he is mentally there. Ward, the ref and the judges in the first fight took his soul lol. inb4 "That Russian cracka ain't got no soul brutha!"

I agree. He might have to retire soon rather than face the gauntlet of big hitters at LHW

[MulaKO]

No I just don’t see it
Kov is not their mentally first off
And if true , Kov doesn’t train well and Buddy McGirt is not the answer imo

I think Kovalev will win but I think Bivol is the best light heavyweight and also the best at 168.

I think Alvarez is gonna mow him down early.

Who has he beaten?

When Kov reclaims his title he still has the best claim to being #1.

All the other guys have extremely weak resumes

I'm with you. I think Kovalev will fight a lot smarter this time and win a UD. He's just a better boxer than Alvarez.

100%. Other than not being super heavy handed, I see no real weaknesses in Bivol. The way he uses his footwork is something beautiful to watch.
