    It's amazing how many people here are brushing off this fight saying that kovalev is washed up. Yeah he looks washed up against fighters in his own weight class.

    I have a feeling that Canelo is going to take an absolute beating. Weight classes exist for a reason. Massive respect to Canelo for taking this fight though with no catchweight and going to full 175. But this is going to get ugly

    there is a real chance for that, but canelos speed, chin and defense could play a good factor here... kovalev is also a great fighter but canelo is faster... but it will get really ugly if kova lands flush, canelo needs to be almost perfect for 12 rounds...
    i think canelo is going to box the first half of the fight with ocassional body attack, and maybe get more agressive and fight on the inside on the second half...
    i doubt that he is going to make it an inside war early on the fight..

      I'm a huge Canelo fan but i don't think Canelo is going to dominate the way some people think he is.
      In fact i wouldn't be surprised if Canelo gets hurt/dropped in the first five rounds...
      But i see Canelo working the body constantly and winning a unanimous decision....

        I think Kovalev will beat him. The reach size/advantage is going to be the biggest problem for Canelo. He's going to be eating big shots trying to get inside. Kovalev has a great jab too.

          I think Canelo is in deep if Kovalev can get his powerful jab going. Kovalev has all the advantages physically.

          Canelo can certainly win but just one big one Canelo and I think he will be iced. People forgot Kovalev packs tremendous power, a man that smacked the dog **** out of Pascal, Hopkins.

                It's a very dangerous fight for ginger, no doubt

                    Nope, I see Canelo stopping this version of Kovalev.
