Canelo won’t even give Kovalev time to prepare

[mathed]

Canelo Alvarez’s last fight was in May. He’s known he was going to fight Sergey Kovalev next since late July.

Kovalev’s last fight was August 24.

So of course the fight date is the first weekend in November. That means if Kovalev started preparing for Canelo today he barely has eight weeks.

Canelo will have been preparing for Kovalev for 12 weeks by the time the fight happens.

Canelo is such a chicken *****

But Clenela is la vaca del oro doe, pulling Flroid Mayweather type antics to gain advantages..........

CONTINUING FLROID’S LEGACY

Did someone put a gun to Kovalev's head and force him to agree to fight on that date? Call the police!

It's a quick turn-around for a guy in his late 30's but it's not unreasonable, unless he's draining him.

Come on, we should all know by now there WILL BE A REHYDRATION clause and most likely a CW of 170 or 172 as well.

And Lalonde fought SRL at 168 and Chad Dawson went to 168 for Ward.

Only for the big dogs!

It is what it is at this point. Still no announcement. If Kov agrees to it, its on him. BUT, still shady af on Saul's part. He fought the best 168lber in December of last year, not sure why he cant fight Kova in December as well. And as long as there's no catchweight or rehydration clause then at least we have a "decent" fight.

Because Ruiz/Joshua is on Dec. 7... They need Canelo to fight during a different billing cycle, so it's either Nov. 2 or after January 11.

[SUBZER0ED]

If Kovalev doesn't want the fight in December, he could just say no. Or, he could say yes, fight his ass off and take that $10 million, win lose or draw.

DAZN is demanding this date, Canelo probably wants to fight sooner rather than later. Take it or leave it Kovalev, you're the B side, you don't have any say in the matter. Kovalev himself chose not to take the fight in September, the money was there to tempt Yarde to step aside.

Rumors are swirling there won't be a catchweight, but there will be a rehydration clause. 10lbs is not unreasonable. Does anyone know what the fight night weight for Kovalev has been in his past few fights?

[Pigeons]

Kovalev doesn't have to accept the fight. He's a free man.

And both those guys looked and boxed like zombies in the ring....and both got bombed out.

So is Kovalev fighting at 168? Or is the different pair of socks on Canelo night going to affect weight too?
