I still don't know how somebody throws a fight by being brutally knocked out

[aboutfkntime]

... it is reasonable to wonder how much effort (insert name here) was actually putting in to really try and win the fight...


... he could do what he did...which is get outboxed over 12 rounds...

... it is fair to wonder how much he was really even trying in that fight

... he seemed to have no real urgency in there all night and knew that... was not going to get it done...

maybe he did take some kind of dive and had a wink-wink deal where he wouldn't really go for it and just spar a little bit

according to this muppet... Canelo last 4 opponents meet the criteria for taking a dive

All of this conspiracy fight throwing BS pisses me off.

There’s no way anyone could have bought Kovalev because if he won, he makes way more money in the immediate future than could be offered. He’s also a professional athlete who cares more about his pride than a few extra bucks.

And he was outboxing Canelo before getting caught too. Many people had Kovalev winning in their cards.

Is your reading comprehension really that bad

[Boxing_1013]

you are a muppet

is it reasonable to ask why Golovkin abandoned his trademark bodywork FOR 24 ROUNDS?

and where was all of that... " fight like a Mexican "... stuff... ?

Kovalev did what he could... just like Golovkin...

Canelo is very sharp, and very punishing... you are not sharp, stop being silly

the same thing happened to Canelo's last 4 opponents you muppet, including Golovkin

GGG's jab was still really effective vs Nelo...of course when you fight top fighters, then the work on both sides is not as effective overall.

Kovalev looked like a neutered version of himself...hardly anything he did was impressive in that fight...GGG and even Jacobs had many more moments of class vs Canelo.

Kovalev was probably ahead of Canelo at the time of the stoppage...but it was basically because there was hardly any action in there...for a natural 175 pounder to not be able to take advantage of his natural edges in there, it showed that Kov was not really in very good form...he was basically just able to keep the smaller man on the outside with a soft jab, and that was basically all the action in all the rounds.

Whatever the reasoning for that...it isn't 100% certain...most would just say he was a little shot, and I would agree.

[Boxing_1013]

oh yea, that could not possibly have anything to do with Canelo's NEXT-LEVEL defence and SHARP punishing counters

line up guys

Wow if you think Canelo was facing a really good version of Kovalev...you must think Canelo is an incredible fighter to have that success against him...I mean to beat a really good version of Kovalev like that, wow you must just think the world of Canelo.

And since you had GGG-Canelo 1 a draw...you must think GGG is an incredible fighter as well, and must similarly think the world of him...good post bro...well said.

Seems like after every big fight now there is some sort of conspiracy theory going or controversy. Used to be only after a close decision or someone quitting, now it’s knockouts too.

Oh go shine your tin foil hat, Dale Gribble.

Only gays like the Buffalo Bills. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

That KO wasn't at all brutal. Convincing yes. Brutal no.

Kovalev didn’t give a shit. That’s why he was so casual in the post fight interview, and that’s why he didn’t throw any power jabs. Wether he was still drained from the Yarde fight, or wether he just didn’t care and took a paycheck, it does not change how he was. He was holding back, especially when he had Canelo somewhat hurt. If you guys think Kovalev gave his all in that fight, you guys are delusional.

You hating ass punk! Give props where props is due!
Canelo is the#1 P4P fighter in the world and no matter how hard you biitches try to discredit him real boxing fans know what Canelo is all about.
FACTS!

Must be why so many people had him up by the time of the stoppage.....
