When was the last time CCC fought a great, prime fighter? Oh yeah, 2013, when he fought Mayweather and yeah, we all remember what happened. LMAO

I didn't see his punch output going down like it did in Ward 1 and 2. He was throwing consistently throughout the fight. He seemed bothered by one or two body punches but he took the rest well. Before the stutter step and the eventual KO punch he seemed fine. Kovalev is just too old and undesciplined to fight at a high level any more.

He fought sooo timidly while being sooo much bigger. Canelo was also extra cautious but I give him credit for working his plan to just keep Kovalev busy enough to get him tired, then go for a late rounds KO. Not a great fight to watch, but a great finish by Canelo for sure.

They fed him this line too. How he got tired after 6th round.
Now Kovalev can enjoy his fortune on an island.

He was knocked out with a spectacular punch, I don't think that was faked, he was clearly out.
Canelo will never get rid of the drugs cheat label he created for himself, but you can't go knocking LHW champions even with drugs, you need technique and strategy. Canelo executed his game plan and came out on top, that takes skills, and seems to have that by the bucketload.

Kov likes Canelo too much and showed him way too much respect. Whether you thought he won or lost against Ward, we can tell that he did not like him and he fought to hurt Ward. And he would of fought Stevenson the same way. Win or lose, he was gonna try to knock Stevenson's head off. Against Canelo, there was no bad intentions. Jabs all night, which was a great strategy to protect his body, but you also have to take chances with your power shots.

TBH, I don't blame him, I would take the money too, KOV is on his way out of boxing. This is prize fighting, invest and stay rich 4ver. He deserves it as a boxer.
But like i say he didnt show up to win, taking this fight after a war, fighting timid nobody stupid.
But good for him like u mentioned. That Yarde was his last hoo-rah

Until yesterday he and McGirt were saying that the short span between fights would have helped. Now he was tired after six.
Whatever. Kovalev fought a good fight, I had him ahead before the knockout. As always the judges were watching Canelo's fight. Still, the way Canelo gradually zeroed in on the Krusher was impressive.
Bet won on the exact round BTW
