GBP is hoping that Melikuziev can beat Kov even better than Canelo, so they can start hyping him up.

Of course........

Of course........

Nothing against Melikuziev, but I'm not ready for Kov's career to be over. I don't believe he's shot, but I'm concerned with the way his career has been unfolding. He becomes a gatekeeper if he loses this next fight.

He needs to target name guys not nobodies

Star amateur silver medalist at the Olympics.

Most fans know who he is.

I have a feeling this fight doesn't happen

Thanks bro. Read the article now and got my answer.

Sorry could not help you at the moment, I wasn't aware but glad you found what you were looking for

Another Yarde type of opponent for Kovalev in Russia. I doubt he pulls this one out like he did the previous one. Kovalev is just going through the motions at this point.

[R-Hand Southpaw]

to be fair, Kovalev’s career as an elite fighter was already finished before that fight. That’s actually why Canelo chose him.

Isn't this the most unbiased truth.

And yet people think, Berlanga is an actual better prospect than Bek the Bully, LMAO!!! One fights nothing but bums while the other one has W’s over Clay Collard & Vaughn Alexander and is about to fight the former king pin of the 175 division. Golden Boy building a very nice stable in Vergil, Ryan, Munguia and Bek the Bully

Id much rather see that fight, Bek vs Berlanga. I think Kovalev will throw the fight, not interested.

Kovalov advisors wer smart. Knew canelo fight was a cherrypick for sure so had written in contract u owe us more paydays n fights per win after this for consider the canelo fight. Maybe if backend deals for the loser is done more we get to finally see fights we been wanting to see

What’s the point of this fight for Kova ????

Kovalev set to earn $2.5 million, per sources, part of his deal with DAZN for the Canelo fight https://t.co/vyeZdKkJLb

Wow!!! Bek taking a big step up but he really may hurt Kovalev badly. At least Kovalev will get paid well.

... it seems Kovalev gets good money for this...

True. He just put the final nail in the coffin
