Comments Thread For: Canelo Brutally Knocks Out Kovalev in Eleventh For WBO Title

[alexnation]

lmaoo even McGrit said Canelo is ahead on scorecards cuz we are fighting in Vegas hahaha

[Redd Foxx]

Canelo not looking as crisp. His late-game strategy might turn on him if he shows stamina issues again.

[Thraxox]

McGirth confirming the fix is in.

Round 10 for Kovalev. He landed a jab.

Canelo landed a bunch of power punches to the head and body but not enough.

Kovalev up 10-0

[Sheppirino]

7-3 Kovalev. I'd say Canelo needs a KO to win but we all know that's BS.

[NC Uppercut]

Was there another contract? One that says Kov can’t throw anything hard? Wtf ??

[Robbie Barrett]

WTF McGirth. Saying Cnaelo is ahead and is basically just selling the fight to Canelo.

He didn't say that, he said the judges will have him ahead.

[BrometheusBob.]

BoxingScene live scorecard has it 6-3 for Canelo. I'm inclined to believe Canelo is well ahead on the cards as well.

[GrandmasterWang]

Kovalev is winning on volume easily.

Let's start the scoring..
1-0 Kov due to activity. Canelo landing a few nice shots to get Kov's attention. Feeling out round.
1-1 Canelo, very close could go either way. Canelo landeda few really good shots, while Kov's jabs were mostly blocked. Canelo's had a ton of practice with blocking jabs w G and Danny.
2-1 Kov. Canelo landed a few nice catchy shots, but most of the round was dominated by Kov. Got a few good counters in as well. He's throwing a LOT of punches though.
2-2 Canelo. Asserting dominance through timing.
3-2 Kov. Close round, both guys missing a ton of punches. Kov wins through activity. I like buddy giving Kov breathing exercises.
3-3 Canelo. Canelo with really nice counters. Kovalev landing nothing, output slowing down. His jabs are losing steam, a lot of feeling out shots.
4-3 Kov. Higher activity. Canelo lands some nice counters, but most of them do not have power behind them. Can't win rounds through 5 showboating punches without power in them. Gotta start wondering when Kov's stamina will start becoming an issue?
5-3 Kov. Canelo took the round off. Crowd boos Nelo, commentators mention it. Looks like Canelo is letting Kov tire himself out. Doesn't look like it's working so far. If you asked me before the fight will Kovalev throw 600 punches by round 9 and be Ok? I'd say not a chance.
6-3 Kov. Canelo really not doing much. Kov lands a good straight right, shame he didn't put all the power behind it. Canelo hits the body occasionally. Kov being VERY responsible with his body so far. Energy levels of both fighters are good.
7-3 Kov. Canelo doing nothing until last 30 seconds. Gets Kov against the ropes, hits 2 nice shots eats a right hand back. Kovalev doing good work so far. No power used by him though. Neither guy shows any damage at all. Canelo needs a KO in my book.
