Comments Thread For: Canelo-Kovalev Deal in Place Should Kovalev Win, Says Manager

[KO MX]

Canelo goin after old past his prime twice ko’d Kovalev - cherrypickn once again!! Would have been impressive when Kov was undefeated and on all p4p list.

and Canelo was fighting at 154 right

Now this is a PPV level fight. How can you justify charging 80$ for the Spence Vs Porter fight when a fight of this caliber can be watched for 20$ on DAZN. I sure hope Zuffa boxing fails, we know what model they'd like to follow.

What about Yarde if he wins??????

Yarde has no name value. This is a name plus title that makes this fight compelling. Just the title don't make as much sense. Specifically a no name guy like Yarde still is.

If there's not BS catchweight involved, I give Canelo a lot of credit for making the fight.

I hope Yarde wins and fks up these plans. Too much YOUNG talent at 160 and 168 for Canelo to be waiting around for this worn down 36 yr old.

Kovalev had no choice but to go ahead with this Yarde fight. You don't take the Canelo fight if your going to have to fork over a significant portion of your salary to Yarde for step aside fees. He has to win this fight though and it is a tough fight. I think Kovalev can knock this guy out though and if he does this will work out in Sergiy's favor. He needs to knock this cat out early. Yarde isn't ready for him at this stage.

So Clenelo couldn’t make the 5lb jump in weight from 155 to 160 for years now all of a sudden he’s ready to jump 15lbs. ��

Why not just clean out 160?

Yea same. I'd rather see Canelo focus on 160. Thats where the most interesting fights are. I ain't no GGG hater & would dig seeing a 3rd fight. I think Mall vs Canelo is a good fight. And I think Andrade is trash, but he gots a belt so yea throw him in line to. And I think Canelo vs BJS might be boring to a lot of fans, but I think that would be more competitive than most think.

And I'd love to see Canelo vs Benavidez when Canelo gets through all those guys at 160 in a couple years at 168. I don't envision Canelo seriously ever competing at 175. I think thats too big & this is just a vanity title he's looking to collect vs Kovalev.

Probably the weakest of the current LH belt holders but still better than anything GGG has ever done.

Back to this silly mindset again....stop, just stop it. Liam smith and rocky fielding didn’t have names either. Cut it out....have some self respect
