How the hell is Canelo going to beat Kovalev?

[elfag]

Canelo had a razor close fight with Jacobs (who has a glass chin) at 160, and went 12 with a drained Chavez Jr at a catch weight of 164.

Now he’s suddenly going to 175 and KO Kovalev with no rehydration clause?

It’ll also be hard to outbox Kovalev since Kovalev is much taller, rangier, has fast feet and can fight going backwards.

I think Canelo and his team are biting off more than they can chew here.

Why would he KO kovalev, he will decision him. And if he said he will KO him, so what, fighters say that chit all the time to promote fights. Who cares that he went 12 with Chavez, he won all 12 rounds.

He won’t, he’s getting laid out like my Sunday’s best clothes!

Well, good for you. Knowing Canelo and seeing the way this Q has been ducked, it's entirely possible there's a rehydration clause, which could significantly favor Canelo.

If you want to cover your ears and close your eyes, then by all means. I'm curious to find out what the rules are for this fight though.

Wow, woke up this morning to Red K over...what exactly? Your own garbage reading comprehension? What a ****ing dork you are, dude. Let me break it down for you, since you're having trouble. I was stating that I still haven't been able to find a reliable source confirming that there is not a rehydration clause. People keep running around stating that there isn't one as though it's an established fact, and I was saying I'm not yet convinced that's correct and am still holding out for concrete conformation. I agree with you, you idiot. **** off with that childish bull****. Is your wittle internet ego that fragile? Pathetic. Sympathy for the wife/SO!

If Kovalev can take punches from guys who can hit, why would he not be able to take punches from this roided guy?

Unless there is something in the contract we don't know about, Kovalev should win this one.

[KingHippo]

Upper body movement, superior reflexes and speed, counter punching ability, toughness, and stamina.

[MulaKO]

He picked this fight because;
-Kovalev is weak to the body. Canelo has body KOs on his record.
-Kovalev has lost 3 fights in the last 3 years. Canelo has lost none in several years.
-Kovalev is well past prime. Canelo is prime.
-Kovalev doesn't have the same speed and power he used to have.

People are running on this illusion that this is still the Krusher who fought Pascal, Hopkins, Ward, etc. He's still decent but not the fighter he used to be.

All these boys living off nostalgia
This will be brutal imo , over by the 6th max
Kovi can’t fight off his back foot and he certainly will not be jabbing Canelo’s head off like the young lion lol Yarde
Canelo will bully his way in and yes probably get caught a few times but the damage he will inflict will be way more than Kovi
