Comments Thread For: Canelo-Kovalev Announcement Expected Soon For 11/2

[Freedef]

agree totally...Canelo going after the old man who has been stopped twice in last 4 and was in serious trouble against a green inexperienced youngster in his last fight.

Serious trouble, he Yarde won max 2 rounds. Yarde caught him in 8r, but in 80% of fights someone gets caught and is stunned. Smh

Major risk for Canelo. Props to him if this is at 175 without a rehydration clause. If he wins hopefully he fights GGG again. We all know GGG deserved the nod on at least one of those fights.

Ward initially hurt him with a head shot.....Kov was done with or without the low blows

Maybe, but my point is that the fight ended on illegal low blows. What could have happened is irrelevant

[BigStomps]

I look at this is a GOOD thing??? PLENTY of fkn SUKERS!!!! Too bad NONE of these POS GGG fans EVER pay up??? You know how many still owe me and just changed their names???

I'm sure ALOT! That's why I don't bet with any of these lowlife Canelo haters on here who don't got nothing going for themselves. They all a bunch of losers who live off welfare and have no pride in themselves... Lol

Wake me up when they announce the rehydration clause for Kovalev. Let me guess - 175.5?

Aiming for the weakest champion in the division equals chasing greatness?

Don't get me wrong. This is a great fight to test the waters at LHW, but we all know he doesn't plan to unify 175. Too small to beat any top dog.

You know you’re a great fighter when people takes you fighting 2 divisions above in your 5th weight class against the most decorated and arguably best in the division as a got damn cherry pick!

Boxing fans can be the worst fans period sometimes!

I guarantee you will watch it even though it’s a so called“cherry pick”!

Rising 2 weight classes to take on any champion is commendable. Kovalev is no doubt on the slide, but he's still Kovalev, and based on his 2 outings this year he hasn't lost a ton. At least not enough that he'd wind up being an easy night for an Alvarez who's only weighed as much as 165 as a pro (IIRC), and never faced a 175 fighter. Andre Ward is the only guy who Kovalev couldn't beat, but Ward was lucky to get away with that win (and I say that as a HUGE Ward fan from Oakland). He's still technically sound, has a 12 round engine, and just showed that he can overcome adversity when dealing with talented younger guys that are his size. Alvarez will have his hands full, and isn't guaranteed to win IMO.

What's the catch weight gonna be, because there definitely going to be one AND a rehydration clause with a $1 million per pound over penalty.

With catchweights and penalties, this isnt gonna be a real fight.

In all honesty, wouldn't you insist on them if you were Alvarez? We will have to wait and see how drastic they are, but if Alvarez is moving up this far, forcing Kovalev to come down to 170 and fight at an actual 175 would not be offensive. Maybe even 168 and then rehydration to 175.

If it is something crazier than that, surely Kovalev would not agree to it? I mean Main Events is not what it used to be, but they ain't new to this boxing stuff either.

Wait, you honestly think Alvarez has only weighed as high as 165 as a pro?

[fernandtg]

Your fkn ****** if you think Kov. is the weakest LHW??? I'll match you $$$ against ANY of the other WHEN he fights them.

I even HOPE you cant pay so you can suk dic to make that $$$ WHEN you lose.

When did I say thay Kovalev is the weakest LHW? What a dumb little hoe.

Why would I need to suck anything to pay up? I'm not a broke mf; you must be projecting your miserable existence on others. I love how you quickly started fantasizing on another dude and oral *** tho'. Try being a little less obvious next time, little f@ggot.
