Comments Thread For: Canelo: Fighting Kovalev A Huge Risk, But We're Ready!

[kushking]

Odds don't have anything to do with probabilities? Thats hilarious and plain ignorance!!! Oh yes - the Vegas oddsmakers are in it to lose $!! So the Patriots being huge favorites to beat the Jets this past mon nite had nothing to do with "probabilities" ? Lol!! 33-0!!! Nice logic Bro

You're wrong,odds only have to do with getting ppl to bet on both fighters at an even rate so the house isn't bankrupted when 1 fighter with way more action on him wins. Odds only have to do with probabilities in that the favorite is usually also the fighter expected to win. If you knew anything about betting youd know a popular fighter is always given better odds to win than he deserves,which gives extra incentive to bet on the underdog,if the favorite whos more popular was given odds based strictly on probabilities then nobody would bet on the underdog & the house would go bankrupt because everyone would've had the same bet

Anyways im done arguing with y'all for the day.

You don't know wtf your talking about,odds only have to do with getting ppl to bet on both fighters at an even rate so the house isn't bankrupted when 1 fighter with way more action on him wins.

So with ur whack logic - U must think Canell(being the popular fighter) would have been the betting favorite over prime undefeated Kov of a few years ago?? Or Canelo would be the betting fav over unpopular Beterbiev?? Whack??

You don't feel ashamed about showing everyone you're a casual? There is no weight stipulations which means kov will be a cruiserweight on fight night,& if Nelos cherry picking then why don't you clowns name anyone doing anything remotely comparable esp. as the cashcow A-side & after fighting the best 2 mws in last 4 fights 3x? Name me someone that demonstrates kov is a cherrypick?

Don't understand why you're so defensive here bud... I asked a simple question to someone else. I'll wait for an adult to get my answer!

They did not want to talk about it but couldn't deny it.
It was talked here and KDuva said she was not going into the details.

Good to know, Thanks!! green k sent!

Its one thing to hate nelo for millions of reasons,his resume & especially his choosing Kovalev instead of the leftovers of Jacobs are not 1 of them.

Did you intentionally leave out the fact that he is a proven juicer or is that something you want to pretend never happened? That is obviously the main reason why people dislike Canelo, along with his consistently favorable score cards.
Are you not a subjective Canelo obsessive who praises his every move? The truth is somewhere between the haters and lovers.

Smh as always at some of the narrow minded opinions. Canelo is doing great things. Jumping 2 weight divisions to face Kovalev is a big deal. He's coming off wars against GGG and Jacobs how can you not appreciate his achievements? Yes he got busted peeing hot but he paid the price. This is a risk and Canelo is taking it. Respect.

No he didn't. It was business as usual.

It's a good fight that I'm looking forward to.
The odds are about right, this is not a great fight between two fighters in their prime.

Obviously the 3rd fight with Golovkin would have been a better fight with closer odds...though judging by Golovkin's last fight, the time on that one may have expired also.

[AdonisCreed]

Canelo haters are trying downplay moving up two divisions

They are going to look real ****** when kovalev wins

Right lol I don't understand how this fight is not a risk. Kovalev has power and if he catches Canelo it could be game over. And also Kovalev is a champion lol It makes no sense to say it isn't a risky fight.

[Dean_Razorback]

maybe the extra weight might slow him down

¡PURO PODER! 💪🔥

'Canelo' presume su FORTALEZA y al ritmo de mariachi se prepara rumbo a la pelea contra Kovalev. 😎🇲🇽#BOXEOxESPN 🥊
