So it's fight week. What's your official prediction for Kovalev vs Canelo?

[boxingnumber247]

canelo by ko in round 3

[Born X Raised]

GGG would have done the same thing to Hagler, that he did to Rolls

I can tell by the eye test

and Kovalev is shot... so, beating him is worthless

meaning... GGG > Canelo

These dorks will somehow feel vindicated if Kovalev beats Canelo. They’ll count it as a W on Golovkin’s resume, lol. Pathetic bunch.

[REDEEMER]

Canelo picks up where Yarde left off in round 7.

Canelo 8th round stoppage. I'll give Kovalev an extra round before getting hurt . Should be a good one with more back and forth in this one.

Its Canelo, but I voted for Kova just to root for the underdog

[allanperlee]

i really don't see canelo stopping kova cuz his power is mediocre at best at mw, will be even worse at lhw

my heart says kovalev by ko or wide ud after putting down ginger on his ass a few times, brain says canelo by vegas decision

going with my heart tho i probably shouldn't

He couldnt even dent Cotto in his made up 155 division. His power is overrated.

[HarvardBlue]

The only way Canelo loses is if he gets stopped or it's a landslide. I don't see Kovalev stopping or dominating him at this point in his career. This would've been an interesting fight 2 or 3 years ago but it seems to be a forgone conclusion now. Canelo will either look good enough to warrant a victory or make Kovalev look like the shot fighter he is.

Remember, the ONLY way Kovalev won his last fight was because his opponent ran out of gas.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I like both fighters, Canelo more.

I don't see Kovalev withstanding those concentrated, hard body shots from Canelo. Kovalev was picked because, like most Eastern Euro boxers, he's pretty weak to the body. I guess that's not something they concentrate on, given their long amateur career. Also, look at how even Loma reacts to any meaningful body shots. Canelo is the second best body puncher in boxing. No joke.

Kovalev will fold before round 8.

What is your final prediction? I got Canelo by decision.

I got Canelo by stoppage. He outworks him, pounds the body and Kovalev will wilt.

[SceneBoxer]

i got Kovalev winning this....

[chaosisme]

I like Canelo by decision
