Comments Thread For: Kovalev-Yarde Finally Confirmed For August 24 in Chelyabinsk

[skinnystev]

obviously fishnets and the convicted drug cheat alvarez backed out of the deal

[QballLobo]

And that’s why Chad Dawson pleading that 168 against Ward should’ve been for LHW and SMW like SRL vs LaLonde?

No I don’t think so.

The last fumble I believe, in which bigjavi973 said, was one of the Chino vs Floyd bouts was for a 147-154 two strap(s) merit. I don’t recall Chino being marketed to be fighting for 154 supremacy

I recall that being news to Floyd as well that he was defending his 154 title against Maidana in addition to the 147 strap.
Almost got Leonard “sensual chest rub” Ellerbe fired.

I have Yarde stopping and retiring Kovalev...and I guarantee you there won’t be any talk of facing Yarde from Golden Boy when that happens

[Oldskoolg]

yes , I'm not 100% but I think cotto won the middleweight title against Martinez at a catchweight too

Sugar Ray Leonard also won the lightheavyweight title against LaLonde while also winning a super middleweight title as well

[Thuglife Nelo]

Cotto weighed in under 154 for Canelo - 153.5, if I remember right - and the fight was made at a contracted catchweight of 155.

But it was a MW title fight, so the official sanctioned weight was 160.

Canelo could fight Kovalev for the LHW title at a contracted weight of 164, or even lower, if Krusher agreed to it, but the official sanctioned weight would be 175.

Yeah and Kovalev could fight Spence with at a catchweight of 160 for the LHW.

Lol. You guys are going full ret@rd. Ward might as well have had the Dawson fight at 168 and just coined a LHW bout.

Canelo haters and Kovalev lovers reaching with ******ity. Even Pac’s catchweights weren’t this dumb

[Thuglife Nelo]

Sugar Ray Leonard also won the lightheavyweight title against LaLonde while also winning a super middleweight title as well

However that was the first 168 belt introduced if it serves me correctly. That was a unique transition for boxing.

If the practice was ok. Ward and Dawson would’ve fought for two straps too

[Eff Pandas]

Yea I'll be taking bets on this fight not happening AGAIN.

Might happen but not in Chelyabinsk on Aug. 24. Might as well announced it being in Saudi Arabia.

I double guarantee it cuz there ain't no money in fighting a guy no one knows in a division Canelo ain't in.

[Golden Boi 360]

Main Events, Kovalev's promoter, & Golden Boy still are negotiating for a 9/14 fight. Golden has increased its initial offer twice, but they're still apart on the money. If they come 2 an agreement, Yarde will be paid a lot of money to step aside 4 fight that was announced today. https://t.co/mvUBWJ4IgO

There’s talk of Canelo going for the heavyweight title.An all Mexican shootout with Ruiz at a catch weight of 184.Ruiz is considering having one of his legs removed.

Hahahaha that's funny
