Comments Thread For: Canelo Aims To Fight Smart, Not Go To War With Kovalev

[Eff Pandas]

Canelo will do what he’s good at
Slowly pressuring Krusher avoiding and slipping big head shots trying to make Kovalev wear himself out. Countering with fast slap combination and finally aiming for a bomb to the body

Yea basically this.

I need to go look at punch stats cuz Id bet Kovalev is gonna miss more punches Nov. 2 than hes ever missed in a night previously.

And I actually think there is a good chance to KO Kovalev here cuz Kovalev is like a f#cking video game character with a cheat code to beat him via body shots that I think Canelo is gonna show better than Dre did.

This is likely to look like the best Canelo weve ever seen cuz of how surgeon-like he'll be & how systematic he'll bring Kovalev down.

Gonna be a lot stick n move from Krusher but unless he surprises Canelo with speed and timing he indeed gonna cut a lot of air and get punished in reward

First off, we can all agree that the 4 division champion thing is a farce since nobody considers the wba regular title an actual belt. The chasing greatness line is also overrated. Yes, Kovalev is a credible threat but he's 36 and clearly his best days are behind him. Truly Chasing greatness would be facing the top champions who are still in their prime. Not facing guys when they're clearly on a decline. Does anyone think canelo would've picked Kovalev if right now he was the same guy who was beating pascal half to death?

Not sure what strategy kovalev will follow. His conditioning does not look great in recent fights imo and he has faded badly in the middle rounds.

Ok so he'll run away and hope for a gift decision like the first fight with Golovkin?

[Shadoww702]

The strategy is to go 12 rounds and get the decision that’s already been pencilled in for him.

Wow! So enlightening??? Do you ever talk REAL boxing casual clown??? Or is your hate that bad you can’t see past GGG balls???

Whos better at LHW then Kovalov??? Because your no expert and almost ALL have him #1 or #2. You need links or are you saying your better than everyone else??? You make it sound like Kov is Rolls Jr.

[Shadoww702]

I’m on board putting $1K on Kov at 10 to 1 odds if any of you F@ggots want to step up????

How do fans get excited about this circus act? The fighters lost face and are going for the money. Ok I get that, but they could have done it with a little more respect to the sport they are in. I get the feeling we're in store for a wwf smakdown not a boxing match.

With that being said the Krusher needs to come out the gates with a tremendous amount of pressure on Canelo

This is an intriguing matchup that can go either way. It is 50/50. Not sure if jumping on Canelo from the start is a smart move. Canelo's counters will find their mark if Kovalev does come forward aggressively looking for a quick knockout.
