Well,Kov is old! He’s 36 with some tough fights under his belt plus just recently came from a very tough round where he nearly got stopped!
A prime Kovalev would’ve beaten Canelo and likely knock him out!
But this is still an impressive feat for Canelo due to the fact he moved up 2 divisions with no catch weight or tune up in that weight class and fought the #2 champ/man at 175 and knocked him out!
It’s a helluva feather for Canelo who has the best resume in boxing and will go down as a legend when he hangs it up!
I thought Kov would knock him out but it seems he still didn’t fully recover from his last fight as he fought moreso to defend himself and not to necessarily get Canelo outta there knowing he won’t win a decision!
Props to Canelo though for proving me wrong and claiming the pound for pound number one spot! This win is better than what anyone has!
Beating Jacobs to unify majority of middleweight belts and knocking out Kovalev at 175 no catch weight makes him fighter of the year and a knockout of the year too!
Hopefully he fights a prime guy next year, Beterbiev, Bivol, Callum Smith, Saunders, Andrade or Mall Charlo!
