That looked staged as hell.

[MMA >>> BOXING]

Totally wrong game plan. I think everybody knows you have to knock Canelo out to get the win, if your name is not Mayweather.

so ur saying that kov shouldve come throwing haymakers from the start? nice way to tire ur self out and getting starched.

[MulaKO]

How’s about the guy is fughin done , finished , finito
And definitely wrong fughin strategy from McGirt
They knew that by him throwing harder , he would open up and be susceptible to Canelo

I thought he would of been ko’d earlier , but that’s why he wasn’t
What I don’t get is it’s the same people arguing that he was winning the fight on the scorecards but that they were pillow fisted shots , then it’s a fake ko
Sorry people , you can’t make this chit up , it’s either right or left
You can’t have it both ways and then try to justify it by bullchit

This is what Buddy McGirt does to every fighter he trains. He trains them to be extremely passive, never use their power, and he throws in the towel at the first sign of danger. Never gives his fighters a chance.

I knew Kovalev had no chance because he was with McGirt. Just the absolute worst game plan you could possibly conceive for this fight.

Even Kovalev said as much in the post fight interview. He doesn't have great stamina, why waste it all with pawing jabs?

Give Mc Girt credit: he followed the Abel Sanchez blueprint:

"We're not going to let Canelo see the cards: we're absolutely going for the KO"
After the fight: "It was too dangerous to throw bodyshots: we tried to outbox him and we did. Judges robbed us."

C'mon man........

+1.

Boxing rigged ?

Seriously ?

That's the ******est **** i ever heard in my life.

Kova seemed to be holding back all night. He became wobbly too fast. I don’t buy it. Too weird. Even his post fight interview was weird as hell.

You don't buy it cause your an eastern euro d**k rider.

People could literally hear you short-circuiting over your full-volume Khabib Nurmagomedov highlights video playing on your laptop.

A bunch of you Golovkin ball-swingers, still in wreaked havoc from your nightly drinking binges, were hoping, praying Kovalev would get the job done.

This s**t must have soured your whole damn week.
Let the butthurt flow freely.

Canelo fought guys like Lara, Trout, Cotto, GGG, Jacobs. Couldn`t stop none of them.

His management decided he needed a KO win against world class name. They chose Kovalev perfectly.

How was it staged? Canelo took away kovalev's right hand, kovalev fought scared as he don't want to eat body shots all night, was too concerned about canelo's body attacks that he neglected his head, and canelo took advantage, hitting kovalev square in the temple and chin. Kovalev didn't recover after that temple shot. Go watch the fight again. Kovalev was sent to a hospital after the fight. How was getting hurt like that staged? Please...

Edit:
To the people who said that kovalev was holding back. A lot of guys fought cautiously against cannelo because canelo is a good boxer who could counter, accumulate punches and win on points or hurt them. GGG, jacobs and now kovalev all fought cautious against canelo. Please understand your boxing....
