REPORT: Canelo-Kovalev fight to be announced Friday

[A.K]

100 percent it’s a catch weight and they would be competing with Diaz vs masvidal

[minemax]

please be at full 175 with no rehydration clause
so we can see canelo sparked out

It will be at 175, but with a 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.

He is fighting for the LH championship of the world. Not the catchweight championship of the world. If he wants the title and the glory that goes with it then fight under the rules. Ironically when Canelo didn't want to fight Golovkin he cited the WBC imposing an artificial deadline on him so he gave up his title. Then he turns out to be one of the worst at imposing artificial weight restrictions on his opponents.

At 175 and not at a CW? Great if so, but what about rehydration?

This Friday, next or any particular Friday?

It was supposed to be on this Friday (the 6th), but looks like the report was wrong. But since then a lot of hype about the official announcement being made this week. I’ve updated the thread with recent articles and updates. And I will keep updating this thread as more news arrive.

Vlad you got it wrong, only more speculation so far.

Coppinger does seem to get it wrong way more than he gets it right.

Still didn't have that inside scoop you originally claimed to have.
