That looked staged as hell.

[Barristan]

Kovalev just said in the post fight interview that Buddy McGirt told him to not open up to avoid body shot counters. The gameplan was to box Canelo and keep him off balance with the jab. How ******ed are you people?

Jesus how are people so phukin ******? A fake KO really?

Not the KO. But the whole fight Kova was fighting without any motivation to win. No meaningful punches. He was not fighting to win.

Looked suspect to me and the scorecards were hilarious. Even if the “KO” was left he lost 8 or 9 rounds against a shot fighter.

[Dean_Razorback]

this was a super expensive sparring session.

[Sadiqkingofko]

every single time Sergey threw a right he got countered hard, Canelo was the more dominant fighter

[Vlad_]

So weird, because in the Yarde fight, Yarde landed more power punches in the body and head to Kovalev than Canelo ever did and he's a legit monster puncher in LHW. And Kovalev GOT his second wind during the 9th-11th to knock him out in the 11th. And then this fight.......so weird.

Exactly. He fought as if he had zero intention of winning.

Don Trella didn't seem to score enough rounds and tried to stick two scores in one space in Round 6.

Canelo made your boy go limp. Deal with it, Vlad_.

It looked like Krusher was on the back end of his career and his confidence had been taken from him by SOG, and Alvarez...he was a punch or two from getting stopped by Yarde as well...Krusher can’t be Krusher forever...The fight played out the way Ward and many other boxers and trainers predicted it would!!

[A-Wolf]

Kovalev sold the KO well. Incredibly well but Canelo did not appear to load up very much. Looked potentially suspect. The right passed through the target and I know for certain I could sell a fake knockout with the same guided motion at the same speed with no real power behind the shot.

It's not like 300+ million dollars is part of this overall equation. It's not like they needed to add some value somehow. Right? That this fight was even happening in the first place was suspect. These two probably spent weeks choreographing this.
