Sooo... about Canelo vs Kovalev...

[REdrUm0351]

If Canelo fights Kovalev at a catchweight and puts a rehydration clause on him Kovalev is done.

[MulaKO]

They aren't Canelo doesn't have the power or the reach to put down Kov, that jab alone will keep Canelo at bay...

Not when Canelo ****s that body
That jab will be non existent
Kovi fughin winced and pulled his shorts when Yarde bagged him to the body the one time early in the fight

[Joe Beamish]

Canelo is too sharp for Kovalev at this point.

[dannnnn]

Kovalev is past his best but he's not done yet. Do people realise how much bigger Yarde is than Canelo?

Everybody's talking about Canelo's body shots as though it's a done deal. First he's gotta get to that body which is much easier said than done against a much bigger, longer, heavy-handed fighter, and even then- Yarde is a good body puncher himself and hit Kovalev with some hard shots, so it's not like he'll fold to any hard body shot, especially from a middleweight.

If Canelo can land a good three punch combination to Kovalev's balls though he should get the TKO, that's the real blueprint.

[tatot]

Kovalev destroys Canelo in 10 rounds imo.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Let`t get real, yarde punches much harder than Canelo. Canelo is 160 fighter that fought at 168 once. Yarde is a true 175 fighter.

Kova beats Canelo just like GGG beat Brook.

[Phenom]

Kovalev is there to be taken

[R_Walken]

My Opinion hasn’t Changed

If Canelo / Kovalev happens , Canelo will beat the brakes off Kov , Kovs is just a name at this point he’s done,

Despite the KO He wasn’t impressive against Yarde , He Looked old / slow and seemed even weaker to body attacks then previous fights and was almost taken out. Kov gets Props for gritting this one out but next time he fights a top shelf fighter he loses

I don’t even get how people think Kov even stands a chance

Yarde whos untested has absolutely no experience against any decent opponents and was only the slightest underdog going into the fight. That should Tell everyone all they need to know about where Kov is at.

This is Just Canelo Team Doing What Canelo team does and having fans think this is a credible because it’s a fighter with a Name but who isn’t anywhere near What they were and at this point just low hanging fruit waiting to get scalped and picked off. Who’s name will look great on a resume and will have people fooled about Canelo place in the sport

[Sheikh]

canelo's power will be nothing for kovalev. his power will not let him get a KO. the only chance he has if Kovalev gasses out and that IS def a very real possibility.

I lean towards kovalev by UD or tko but if it goes 12 no way canelo loses a decision. The scorecards are already written even now.

Yeah, but Yarde is a big, hard-punching light heavyweight and Canelo is a middleweight. Canelo is most likely a better body puncher, but I just think the weight class differential will cancel that out, and he's also going to be fighting a reach disadvantage and a hefty height disadvantage. I think that's going to be too much to overcome, especially against someone with a hard, fast, accurate jab like Kovalev.

This is how I feel, very good post. The only other x factor is how much has Kovalev got left, if he gets old over night then Canelo could pull it off,but I lean Kovalev, I think he UD's him.

The size difference is crazy, and Kovalev has got great feet and ability to win rounds. Hes a very difficult guy to take rounds from.
