          No way Kovalev makes it all the way to fight day without attacking another woman who turns him down.

            People really underrating Kovalevs boxing skills

            I think if Kovalev isn't drained with a weight clause or rehydration clause he f#ks Canelo up

              No, Canelo is using Kov as a foil with GGG trying to age him further. Like I've said her won't give Gennady the rematch till he is close to 40.

                We know Alvarez thinks he can win.
                The diva has moved up from MW twice, Fielding and Chavez Jr.
                Both fighters were serious underdogs and the diva stacked the deck with A-side weight restrictions.
                So we know the diva sees weakness in Kovodka and a rehydration clause wouldn't be a surprise.

Canelo's got enough elusiveness to keep Kovalev's offense at bay & I don't think Kovalev will wanna hang with Canelo's body shots all night. Canelo likely stops him late or gets a wide decision.
                  This is some silly video game logic.

                  Canelo is gonna have a VERY tough time getting close to Kovalev who, unlike that joke SMW Canelo fought, knows how to throw a jab and use height and reach as an advantage.

                  Canelo will have to consistently eat leather to get inside and will take a bruising in this fight.

                  All Kovalev has to do is fight thr exact same gameplan he had against Hopkins. High output, movement, maintain distance, clinch on the inside.

                  I have it 70/30 KOVALEV and anyone who has it for Canelo is either a Canelo HATER or a fool

                      I wish we could bet on this in the future cuz I think you are off as f#ck, Bhop wasn't working with the same tools that would be effective against a guy like Kovalev at 74yrs old, but Kovalev is gonna eat it vs Yarde anyway so this is all for naught.
