Alvarez lost because he thought he had become the Krusher

[johnbook]

Alvarez forgot what got him there. Didn't box and defend as well as the first time. And loaded up on right hand too much which kov trained well to duck.

Ironically made the mistake that Kov made before.

Interesting that I didn't hear talk of a third fight.

Alvarez lost because he became Joshua Clottey.

The second fight looked similar to the first fight, except Kova didn't gas as bad.
He got a good knock out over a tired opponent and he forgot that on his worst Day Kovalev still hits harder than him. Way harder. There's a reason he waited til Kovalev got tired in the first fight to really open up, he was scared of getting hit. He just got the desired result the first time so people didn't notice. Plus, Alvarez has never been a puncher, and all of a sudden he comes out and looks like Thomas Hearns..right..
