Comments Thread For: Duva: Canelo, Kovalev Want The Fight; We'll See What Happens

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - Kathy Duva breathed a sigh of relief late in the 11th round Saturday night. Three rounds after it looked like Sergey Kovalev was on the verge of getting knocked out in his hometown, the Russian veteran put his promoter's mind at ease and accomplished a rare feat when his jab knocked out Anthony Yard...

I thought I was the only one too. She’s a sneaky one that one.

That said, I think Kovalev will KO Canelo. Kovalev is not a shot fighter. A 4 inch advantage is too much to overcome against a heavy handed boxer like Kova. And a pretty decent boxer too.

I’m not sure I buy into Canelo wanting the fight but we’ll see.

Canelo would be a fool to fight Kov without any advantages besides refs or judges going in!

I know his defense is A level but how will he keep Kovalev honest unless Canelo is able to avoid jabs for 12 rounds?

I get it Canelo prolly will have the speed advantage and better defense but Kov can box and punch at the same time I say that’s a deadly combo for Alvarez who struggles with boxers!

I would insatiably pick Kovalev by late KO!

People nuts thinking this is a cherry pick for Canelo!

Even a past prime Kovalev is much better than the likes of Andrade, GGG, Charlo or the guys at 168!

Bold move from Canelo really unnecessary with his resume and status but I don’t see this going well unless his team tells him to get a rehydration clause in!

Sorry not sorry

Canelo destroys Kovi
That’s why he ain’t calling out the other champs
Kovi is the weakest champ of the division
When he wins , he’ll drop that belt , he won’t go anywhere close to Beterbiev or Bivol

If Kova-Canelo fight will happen I think it would be a 10 lbs rehydration limit clause and the fight may be at a cw of 170 or 172 lbs. Something like that. They would probably try to weak Kova as much as they can to basically fight a zombie.

I'd be very surprised if this fight gets made at the weight of 175 lbs with no rehydration limit clause.

Kovi’s team was already asked and they refused
I don’t think Canelo needs that advantage anyway in this one

Struggles? Canelo has better fundamentals than Kovalev and is in his prime. Kovalev is in dangerous territory with perhaps the best counter puncher in the game. This isn’t 2013...

canelo will drain kovalev..kova will accept a career high pay day

Would you prefer Canelo want Kovalev as Ward vs Dawson? Anything above 168 is an improvement in comparison considering Canelo didn’t start at the same weight class as Ward or Kovalev.

Canelo is the face!
