Canelo will NOT fight Kovalev at 175

[LetOutTheCage]

Its going to be at Caneloweight i.e. an Old Kovalev drained to oblivion. The usual morons will still call Canelo brave for 'moving up' Meanwhile Bivol who called out Canelo and is fresh and willing to fight at 168 gets ignored. We all know the reason why...

[KidDinamita]

Hope he doesn't start with the catch weight thing again. Like when he used to fight at 152Lbs.

[jas]

it will be at 175

but i can see there being a rehydration clause

kovalev should not accept a rehydration clause

canelo has publicised he wants kovalev

he turned down ggg for it

he would have to fight billy or andrade if he doesnt fight kovalev and those are difficult style match ups

so he doesnt have good alternatives

so use that leverage to demand no clauses

Get real, at 175 Kovalev would destroy him. Canelo couldn’t stop Chavez Jr or Jacobs, he doesn’t have the power to keep Krusher off of him.

Canelo will try to drain Kovalev down to a weight where he will be weak. He will leverage every advantage. If Kovalev team insist on 175, I don’t think the fight happens.

Chavez Jr. didn’t engage. He coasted 12 rounds wanting a bag and avoided getting hit. Canelo just had to score simple fancy points and not break a sweat. Had Chavez Jr. actually fought he would’ve been stopped receiving too many blows to the head, not even Fonfara is as accurate as Canelo.

Again, Jacobs too didn’t engage much. He circled the ring with just a jab.

Boxing fans need to realize that power punches exhaust fighters. If any of you have actually done extraneous sport activity or workouts you appreciate what boxers endure. Try hitting a heavy bag and see how easily it is to get tired when you’re swinging massive power punches. It’s not easy...try doing that for 36min.while avoiding or getting hit

If Floyd & Manny fought at catch weights, I have no problem with this. Let’s go, Canelo!

Those are considered the mitigating factors of their boxing careers though.

And one more thing - fans (Canelo haters) should not cry about rehydration clause of 10 lbs because:
1)It's morning weigh in at 8-10 am, fight will be at 11 pm so fighters can gain another 2-4 pounds.
2)Kovalev said he fixed his diet (after losses) and for Alvarez rematch he gained only 5 pounds (he was 81.5 kilos (180 pounds))

most of the haters are G fans, and they supported the IBF weigh-in

[Boxing Goat]

He has to fight at 175 or there's no belt at stake and the fight makes zero sense.

[Boxing Goat]

Canelo had rehydration for Jacobs. For Kov itll be 172 with a rehydration max of 180

So you think they won't fight for Kovalev's title then?

Try again, that's the only reason this is happening.

If so, then why persue a rehydration clause?

I honestly think it'll be at 175 with a rehydrate clause.
