Kovalev once said that all fighters out of Canada were terrible.
Well, his career just got short-circuited by a fighter out of Montreal.
Can't see him wanting that rematch -- he threw everything he had at Alvarez and got knocked out. It will likely get worse next time.
Kathy Duva has another bad night. Bivol didn't really impress as advertised either.

Alvarez's movement was great, Kov couldn't really get comfortable and tee off on him. I felt a shot like that was coming

Why the f-ck are so many people talking about ward? Those fights are history. Alvarez knocking kov out doesn’t lessen Ward’s win in the last fight. It’s sad to see posters so upset that a guy they like gets ktfo that they have to use the loss as an opportunity to complain about old sh-t.

Originally posted by Boxing1012 View PostLol but dude - he didn't even get hit on the chin by Alvarez, it was the side/back of the head. Clean but not on the chin.
He got dropped (and hurt by Ward on that shot) because he didn't see either shot coming.
Come on bro that is a stretch to say one shot from Ward (who is not a puncher himself) ruined a guy's chin lol
People put too much emphasis on “Big Punchers” but if you study the sport empirically, it’s the attrition fighters who are always the bonafide best.
Hagler, Ward, Hopkins, Calzaghe, ect ect

Originally posted by alfred64 View PostI had a feeling Alvarez would ko Kovalev tonight. Tried to lay $100 bet but couldnt make deposit on sportsbet site, government makes it too difficult now a days. I saw Alvarez speed, power & desire against Bute & along with Kovalev’s age & being a bit diminished after Ward fights I gave Alvarez a shot at upset. I think Ward was the better fighter of the two, I gave him 1st fight by a point & thought he would have won rematch based on Sergio gassing & right hand from Ward that started tko loss even without low blows which I thought were on belt line except maybe last shot which did not look that hard to me.
