Does anyone else think Canelo is going to take an absolute beating against Kovalev?

Normally a big man like Kov willl beat the crap out if a smaller boxer but Canelo isnt your tipical fighter and Kov is older fighter now. It it was 5 years ago. Kov would of killed Canelo. Not so sure now.

I don't know man. Kov just recently visiously KO'd Anthony Yarde with a jab...

If Canelo toes to toe with him it’s good night Canelo BUT we all know that ain’t happening.
This is going to be a BOXING exhibition. Won on points.

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

I know he will. Canela is really overrated and has gifts and robberies littering his resume.

And Kovalev is now underrated because most boxing fans are stuck in the 80s and don't realize you don't drop off a cliff anymore after 30. He is still an elite fighter, devastating puncher, high ring IQ boxer.

And Kov is also just selling the fight when he says Canelo will be his biggest win, in reality, Ward, despite being legitimately boring most of his career ( and this is coming from a guy who loves defensive high IQ fighters), Ward is levels above Canelo. Completely different fighters, but Kovalev should walk through Canelo and if he doesn't, he should consider retirement.

Canelo wins. No way in hell does Oscar or DAZN let him take the fight unless things are stacked against Kovalev. Look at the damn ref. Judges are rigged too. Canelo would have to get KO'd to lose, but Kovalev is capable of doing that. The risk is there, but the odds are stacked against Kovalev. He definitely needs a KO to win.

This is EXACTLY right. A whole lot of truth right here!

A lot of good arguments in here. Can't wait for the fight!

[Marchegiano]

Yeah, I mean even if Canelo wins it's not like he'll go dustless. Krusher will hit him and it will hurt. It's a good fight.

It's a rigged fight dude, you don't need to have a brain to know this.

I'm actually thinking about putting big money on Canelo early KO ...why? Well Canelo can't even hurt middleweights, so the "casuals" think that he is in a challenge against Kovalev (and yes smart marketing from Canelo's camp to hype up the fight)...

What is Canelo's aim in fighting Kovalev? It's the only fight he knows he can win and make it appear as being a challenge.

Kovalev - has he even recovered from hist most recent fight?

Canelo - still doing PEDs, hence the very late announcement of the fight (as drug testing doesn't start until fight is announced).


Canelo early KO .. rigged, yeah, but this isn't the first time and it's WIN WIN for both fighters.

Canelo is 5'5" with trex arms. Kova is gonna beat his face in with his jab and straight right

[MaksBox]

Lets not forget... Oscar did not want Canelo to take the Kovalev fight... it was Canelo with his big balls trying to make a legacy for himself. I think everyone in his camp/team said not to take the fight. As someone else said, Kovalev was the only choice he had left (after not fighting GGG).
