Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Kovalev Finalized For November 2 at MGM Grand

[Verus]

NO CATCHWEIGHT NO REHYDRATION CLAUSE.

That must disappoint a whole bunch of GGG groupies and other assorted haters.

I'm checking hotel room prices at the MGM Grand. Of course they got rather expensive for that particular weekend. :/

Screw the hotel. Gonna have to AirBNB this joint

Canelo is doing it to get in Kovs head. Canelo is playing mind games. ........is the way im guessing they Will try to spin it.

[kushking]

last reigning super middleweight to do it? Adonis Stevenson? Andre Ward? Not as impressive lol

You're starting to become among the saltiest nelo haters around. Canelo is much tinyier & a fighter who nobody would realistically expect to fight at lhw unlike Ward/Adonis who are over 6' tall & naturally much bigger.

[Murcielago]

If Canelo wins, he'll be in good company with Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and Mike McCallum as the only ones to have won belts at 154 and 175.

Canelo is a 4/1 favorite

He's a bookies favorite because people are willing to lay down big money on Canelo vs anyone. I slightly favor him, but it's a massive jump in weight from where he normally fights and against the hardest hitter at 175

[BaguMka]

I really dare canelo to stay in light heavyweight if he beats old past prime kova and fight with the best of this division. I bet he will move back !!!!!

[man down]

Yes, but will he do it the honest way or will he do what the emperor did to Gladiator in that movie, before they fought in the Colosseum, by putting a knife in his rib-cage to bleed out prior to the battle.

If it's honest fight at 175 with no re-hydration clauses, and no catchweights, then props.

I agree 100

[PittyPat]

No catchweight? Siiiiick.

Kovalev, 36, will participate in his 17th consecutive world title bout

This stat astonished me, yet I feel dumb for having forgotten it, even as a longtime supporter. Kov's been fighting a who's-who of opposition since 2012. An insta-HOF'er and ATG at 175 in my book.

Salute to Canelo for stepping up and that too challenge a current champion..
