That looked staged as hell.

Kov's number 1 asset in this fight was his power.

Team Kov intentionally decided to NOT use his number 1 asset.

Then we had the announcing team talking the first 20 minutes of the fight explaining why this was a great game plan for Kov.

Canelo over there throwing real shots and Kov throwing like he is sparring a welterweight for fun or something.

Its boxing, youre GOING to get hit, Kov might have to eat some middleweight shots to land his own bombs... so what?

I get mixing it up, throwing punches at varying speeds and intensities to keep your opponent confused, but not pulling every single shot. Like in the 10th round, last punch, Kov landed a flush right hand counter. That could have dropped Canelo, had it been full force. But of course it was a pulled arm punch. What were they thinking? I suspect they were paid off to throw this fight.

The high step did look a little odd

Even other boxers thought the fight was very su****ious:

It was a strange fight to watch. Had a weird feel to it.

At the highest levels in the world of boxing, it’s hard to come out winning by KO. You’re trained to not be KO’d for most of your career. When Canelo is forced to high guard while struggling to find his range for 11 rounds it’s beyond me how Sergey even received enough damage to be put in a spot to be K.Od. Everyone says stamina... once again Canelo didn’t do any body work, didn’t land much of anything. In fact he did land harder shots against kovalev earlier which would of easily been more power driven and technically better shots. Kovalev just got put down by a man who couldn’t knock out an old Cotto. At this point I imagine Kovalevs chin to be weaker than amir khans. Amir khan gets knocked out by his own division. Kovalev had resistance versus guys two times bigger than Canelo. But couldn’t take a middleweight shot?

Lol at the YT comments.

Anyone not paid to be a forum troll like here is telling it like it is: it was clearly a fix (like every Canelo fight of the past 4 years)

[pasawayako]

Yeah lol very fish fight but I still try to give Canelo and Kov the benefit of the doubt.
