Comments Thread For: Lara: If Kovalev Isn't Shot & Old, Might Be Too Big For Canelo

One word Corruption.

Yep but reality is Lara should have knocked out them no corruption everybody knows the game of boxing you leave to the judges you shafted.

Mayweather nearly happend to him against Canelo, only needed another judge and he would not be undeafeted

BTW, yes, you read that right. Billy Joe Saunders style is all wrong for Canelo and he beats Canelo fairly easy at any weight.

Utter nonsense. What is BJs’ best win? That question-catchphrase isn’t rhetorical btw...

Andy Lee? Lee had gone through too many wars before BJS. Was a boxer who could get dropped, dazed, and keep going.

Lemieux? David has in late years been irresponsible cutting weight and still fighting at 160. It was said that he collapsed, forgot which fight, and was cancelled while draining. I think that was the Ryder fight for the Canelo Jacobs fight.

Aside from all that, Lemeiux lost to Alcine and Rubio..

Yes styles make fights, and World Class opposition matters ffs. Canelo’s defense easily parry’s anything BJs can attempt. Cakewalk for Alvarez. BJS isn’t a disciplined boxer. His premature conditioning coming to fights here forward will be his downfall. He abused weight cutting agents that now at 168+ he looks dreadful.. if you want to talk about realistic styles..

Mayweather’s best round was Round 6. Thats the only replay Showtime has, the uppercut in the corner by Floyd. For whatever many highlights Floyd pot shotted against Canelo in a showtime replay highlight reel, the 152 Alvarez also had tagged Floyd in clever boxing versus Floyd’s selected whalers like Guerrero or Maidana.

Kovalev has nothing inside and can't take it to the body. Canelo's head movement will allow him to close the gap and go right to the body.

... well, Kova does hit inside, but h doesn't have a skilled inside defense...

I can see that happening. Also Kovalev hits hard to the body.

... which he does...

... I remember that B-Hop was like 39 years of age when ODLH drained him at 156!...

... B-Hop KOd a 31 yo ODLH and captured the WBA, IBF and WBO middleweight straps...

(OK, I know, B-Hop held a totally different "genetics" as compared to Kova...)
