Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev - Official Scorecards

[Tomasio]

I thought that Kovalev should have been winning, but as is the case in the Canelo fights when he seems to be losing, 2 of the judges had Canelo winning and the other had a draw🤔

That fight got close, but Canelo ahead on 2 cards...really?
Moretti and Lederman's early round scoring is bad.

I know it's a running joke with Canelo fights , and predictable. It gets tiresome though.

I am glad they disclose the cards so people can see how much of a joke this sport has become. This is why we are bowing down to UFC and waiting on their main event to finish.

those cards were a joke, canelo won every round!

This was high profile sparring match. I love boxing but it makes me hate it with the crap they put in our face. This reminded me of the May/Conner fight. Straight joke. Kovalev didn't throw one meaningful right hand. I was telling my son, the fix is in for Canelo to win. These score cards are a joke too. I hope Canelo goes back down to 160 and give the fans the real big fights. There's a lot of heat at the top of the division.

What fight was Dave watching those first 2 rounds? Canelo didn't do a single thing except missing and get a jab put in his face,and yet he gets awarded rounds for staying on his feet.

I said it yesterday.

I'm glad there was no question about the KO as those scorecards are embarrassing at best. Kovalev should have been well in the lead with the way he was boxing, even if I gave Canelo the close rounds up to that point he'd won 4 at most.
Fair play to ginger nuts though; that's probably one of, if not the best chins in the sport and he knew exactly when to go in for the kill.
