Kovalev vs Canelo: Tale of the Tape

[boliodogs]

Is Nelo really 5'9" or 5'8"?

He is 5'8" so whoever made the chart is wrong. He is short and stocky and nobody grows an inch at age 29. He has always been listed as 5'8" before and many think he is an inch shorter than that.

like the guy who interviewed Badou Jack said...

fighters/trainers are all saying that Canelo is in a REAL gunfight

only the bookies and casuals are heavily favoring him

Canelo is a stud for going after Kovalev

yes it is a calculated risk... but it is a BIG calculated risk

I have said it MANY times... the gameplan they used to nullify Hopkins was incredibly simple/effective... a similar gameplan should be even easier to implement on a smaller man like Canelo... countering that, Canelo has youth/speed and a style better suited to Kovalev, than Hopkins had

intriguing fight

Canelo UD12 in a MUCH tougher - and possibly controversial - fight... than everyone expected

I honestly think Canelo and his corner know that this will be a very tough fight... they are not taking Kovalev lightly at all, they will be 100% ready

Canelo is 5’8”.
He wears lots of platform shoes tho. Like Mayweather.

[-DSG-]

Kovalev will smash him.

[Damn Wicked]

Is Nelo really 5'9" or 5'8"?

and is Kovalev really 6 ft or 6ft 1" ?

It seems like these stats are often changing. They should have standardized measurements for all fighters.

[F l i c k e r]

Is Nelo really 5'9" or 5'8"?

I don't believe it. He's probably barely 5'8" if that.

[SceneBoxer]

Do You guys have any idea how much HGH He injected since those fights.
HE was 5'7 for Floyd, 5'8 for Golovkin, will be 5'9 for Kovalev, 6 feet for Cruiserweight debut and 6'5 for HW debut - and We will all have to pretend it's normal.

bwa ha ha ha ....

[Marchegiano]

Why are the heights in feet and inches while the reach is in centimeters? Pick a lane.

Against Golovkin he was said to be like 5’6’’, wasn’t it? And a true junior middleweight.

1. Canelo is 5’8.

2. Canelo do not have as much power as Kovalev.

3. For all the people saying Kovalev can’t take body shots and Canelo will KO Kovalev is far from the truth. Kovalev has been taking punches from guys much larger than Canelo for his entire professional career. So let’s agree the power advantage goes to Sergey Kovalev.

4. Canelo has never fought anyone with the Height and Range with a great powerful Jab. Chavez and Fielding both didn’t execute the effectiveness controlling range and the Jab against Canelo which is why Canelo was able to just Walk threw them with constant pressure.

5. KOVALEV has a far better jab and boxing Abilities than Chavez Jr and Fielding.

Just my two cents. I got Kovalev
