That looked staged as hell.

[Toffee]

anyone who thinks this was a fixed fight has a single digit IQ

And anyone who thinks that PRIZE fighting can't be fixed is living in a dream world.

If he made a fortune, did he lose?

You're acting like Hillary fans Vlad.

Not a good look.

So the pathetic weak jabs that Kovalev was throwing from the opening bell seemed normal to you?

[davef]

canelos a beast i didnt think it looked staged just the krusher isnt what he was but still to go up to 175 and brutally ko him like that was pretty impressive respect to canelo not even a fan of his but he is taking on everyone

[JJRod]

NSB never disappoints, when it comes to the excuses for a fighter losing.

[sargo]

Kovalev looked like he was afraid to hurt Canelo. The size disparity was so obvious that it seemed if Kovalev wanted to take out Canelo he could have anytime. Then suddenly he forgets how to fight and gets knocked out.

The Garcia-Duno knock out was also strange. Glancing blows knocked out someone who was never dropped before.

this is ridiculous lol.....

kova couldnt land chit because canelos defence is tight and kovalev can only throw straight punches and canelo is a slick counterpuncher. bro sometimes taking the L is better than making up conspiracy theories...this chit is fuccing insane, hed be better off knocking canelos ass out and then getting a rematch for a second payday

It sucks when one of your favorite boxers is in a suspect fight, but the reality is that boxing has always had some fixed fights. This one was simply not convincing, no matter how much Kovalev is past his prime he will always be a puncher, and he clearly was holding back almost everything and was clearly instructed not to go too hard. Canelo is not hard to hit, Kovalev is a crushing puncher. He was holding back and never even tried to hit him with anything meaningful, and the finish was not convincing. One thing deniers have to hold into account is that fighters can throw fights with REAL punches, they just try to sell it better when it's time to lay down. I already felt something was up seeing Kovalev in the locker room looking uninterested before the fight.

Didn’t see the fight. Just caught some highlights and the KO. Interesting that people are saying Kovalev wasn’t trying. I’ll have to see for myself. But the KO was real. I think that’s pretty clear.

[Szef]

Kovalev seemed too friendly. I get that you respect your opponent etc but you don't have to touch gloves with him after every damn round

Kovalev has dropped guys with body jabs. The body was there for him all night to switch up to once they realized the head wasn’t there. Did Mcgrit even say once that he should go to the body? I think he landed every single bodyshot, and everytime he did the next shot to the head would land, but he three maybe 10 body shots all night.
