Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev vs. Bektemir Melikuziev on January 30 in Crossroads Battle

[jabuppercut]

Bek the bully is on the fast track to a title shot because his extensive amateur background. Don't look at number of pro fights. He's not green or young. Like Lomachenko and other eastern europeans turning pro in mid to late 20's. They don't need 20 pro fights to develop or years to gain their man strength. He's not really moving up in weight fought at light heavyweight as an amateur and all but 2 of his pro fights have been at light heavyweight or higher. He's bigger and stronger then Canelo. Very dangerous fight for Kovalev.

Great post. Green K.

I did some research on Kavalev's opponent. Watched some tape. Unless Kovalev is near death, this guy won't do anything to him. If Kovalev is, then this guy has a puncher's chance.

Kovalev at this point tho isn't a high threshold.

If they're going to box for real, this would be am amazing matchup.

But are they actually going to box for real, or is it going to be scripted? Why would anyone trust for sure that anything that happens in a Kovalev fight is legitimate after the Canelo fight?

And remember how Kovalev didn't take a knee when Ward hit him low? Or hold when hurt. And then we had that strange stoppage with the low blow, because Kovalev just bent down instead of taking a knee?

Or how he looked unstoppable for the first six rounds of the Ward fight, but then did the same pitty pat arm punching he did vs Canelo for most of the last half of the fight?

I question the dude's entire career now. So it's hard to get excited for anything he does. This is a nice matchup on paper. So was Canelo vs Kovalev and Kovalev vs Ward. But that doesn't mean anything if it's scripted WWE bull****.

Didn’t think he would be back out again

Damn, you're crazy if you think Canelo vs Kovalev was "scripted".

Actually, everything you just said is really strange.

kovalev vs alvarez looked fixed

"Crazy" and "strange" (and also "conspiracy theorist") are gaslighting terms used to discredit the truth. It doesn't mean every conspiracy theorist knows what they're talking about, or speaks truth, or isn't outright crazy, but these terms are especially used to discredit anyone who does tell the truth.

And you didn't even say anything with your comment using two of these gaslighting terms, you just called my post crazy and strange, but didn't back up your opinion at all. It's not even worth arguing with posters who do this. I'm very, very confident in my assessment of Canelo vs Kovalev, but I don't feel the need to justify that assessment to you. Peace.

Those terms are also used simply to describe crazy or strange people as well.

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