REPORT: Canelo-Kovalev fight to be announced Friday

[icha]

I thought Canelo was his own boss?

Let the old man recover from that tough fight, November is way too soon. They even say Kov wasn't really feeling that but accepted anyway because of the money ffs

so you think that canelo should do his fight on december , same month dazn has aj-ruiz so that fans get 2 fights for the price of one ???
dazn has 2 months reserved for canelo, may and sept, csnelo had to move his september date so he has to use a date available from dazn, you wouldnt expect dazn to reserve all year for canelo just in case he decides to move a date, is reasonable from canelo to to stick to what dazn has available...

No I think it should be in January or February

No I think it should be in January or February

Whenever the fight happens, if it happens, I hope Kovalev is in his top shape, and not fatigued/weight drained.

i think both dazn and canelo need to do a second fight this year, it might even be in the contract to get at least 2 fights a year...
they will want to offer 2 canelo fights per year in order to sell those yearly subscriptions...

please be at full 175 with no rehydration clause

so we can see canelo sparked out

If only we could be so lucky. Watch, 170-172 with a 10 lb rehydration clause.

I love how dumb people are on here that think this fight wouldn't be legitimate if there was at catchweight. They take no consideration that Canelo would have to put on a sht ton of weight at his disadvantage. It's fking pathetic that they think Canelo has to take the maximum disadvantage in all his fights in order to give him credit. Same sht for GGG, Canelo gave GGG everything he asked for in the second fight and GGG still got his ass whooped.

If this fight is at Catchweight, that is Kovalev's choice and it will only make the fight more even.

You haters are morons and if you don't want to watch the fight then don't. Also don't sht on other Men's aspirations to do something fcking challenging and risky, when you would never do the same.. Thats probably the most pathetic part.

Kov is up there with age, him and Canelo were not on a collision course, this fight is about two popular fighters not p4p fighting each other, if Kov takes a cw he will do it because the money is worth it even if he loses. It would be again the rich A side making the B side sacrifice. Challenging is if he goes up in weight with no stipulation.

Damn, I hope not.

Kovalev is coming off a war. this is too soon. that'll diminish the credit for canelo if he wins. should've done it for January 2020. and we still dont know at what weight
