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

[Joe Beamish]

Kovalev will not do enough to sway the judges. Please.

[ramplamp]

Should be interesting. I tend to think someone is going to get destroyed, but I'm not sure which guy it will be lol.

How will Canelo's confidence hold up once he gets hit REALLY hard?

And who did GGG Bud spence loma fought that’s equal to the risk of moving up 2 weight classes against a champ there?hmmmm...

I don't give a crap about moving up weight. Moving up in weight means something when your weight class sucks. There is a very reasonable argument to be made that GGG should have moved up earlier. But now middleweight has Charlo, Andrade, Dervychenko and will probably be getting Jarrett Hurd and Jaime Mungia soon. Moving up two weight classes means even less when you're ducking a weight class with Callum Smith, Caleb Plant, Billy Joe Saunders and David Benevidez. And then instead of Bivol he chose "a champ" coming off of 3 losses in his previous 7 fights with two of those losses coming by way of KO.

He's cherry picking. Stop changing the subject and deflecting.

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.

If Canelo can't hurt Kovalev he might be in trouble.

All of those guys you mentioned will get KOed by kov too... and are afraid to move up two weight classes to fight him. So????

[Blond Beast]

Nel o is due a loss. That's all I'm saying.

I like that. I look at it that way often also. Course Mayweather was due to lose also. Still right now I honestly feel that Nelo is The Pope.

[MDPopescu]

nah Kovalev is basically cashing out, there might even be an extra under the table bonus for Kovalev after Canelo gets the win...

...basically, yes...

If Canelo can't hurt Kovalev he might be in trouble.

... Canelo can hurt Kova... or at least it may look like that...

[anonymous2.0]

I see it two ways:

Canelo breaks Kovalev mentally before physically breaking him down for a KO

Kovalev's jab and occasional straight right keep Canelo at bay to eek out a close decision win
