    Kovalev was clearly instructed to take EVERYTHING off his shots. He threw and landed only one right hand to the body (around round 3 or 4), and it clearly had an effect on Canelo. He then spent the next few rounds throwing half-assed jabs, never working the body once.

    The finish was legit, seeing as Kovalev has a cracked glass chin these days, but the fact he telegraphed any hard right hand he threw = planned. And they got the perfect trainer for the job. Buddy McGirt, the guy who tried to get Gatti to out-jab and outbox Floyd. Of course a guy that brilliant would advise a puncher to eliminate his greatest assets in order to "win rounds" against one of boxing's biggest cash cows.

      Kovalev looked limp from the first bell. That’s my problem. He didn’t try to win at any point.

          These guys are pathetic, man.

          They will go to ridiculous lengths just to avoid giving Canelo any credit.

                A bunch of dumb fans coming together to talk about boxing like they know anything about it.

                My guy didn’t win, so the fight was fixed!

                  Kovalev looked terrible, I mean he boxed ok from the outside, but thats not the krusher we know at all. He looked timid. Demetrius Andrade even stated " Why is Kovalev fighting like he is fighting a sparring partner and just letting him work"....Maybe the rehydrartion clause...but canelo didnt look great by any means.

                      It all depends on who a person is rooting for....

                      If it was GGG who ko'd Kov = Genuine.
                      Nelo and it's a fix.
