11/2 DAZN Presents: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Sergey 'Krusher' Kovalev

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

I don't know how nikkas can be fans of boxing and not fukk with Canelo. Dude could have took that DAZN money and went on easy mode but nah he is going to look for a challenge. That is his career in a nutshell always looking for a challenge. Dudes are just NOT built like that anymore that is some shyt rarely seen in this era you have to respect it.

If you notice. Most canelo haters seem like they have legit mental issues. The biggest one is a creepy 70 year old porn addict weirdo.

And the hate aint got shyt to do with the failed test. All of these dudes hated canelo even before then. Canelo is leading the sport the way it's supposed to be. Taking on the toughest challenges and fighting his heart out every time he gets in the ring. I don't know what more you could want as a boxing fan. Some people are just miserable.

Breh U guys underestimating Kovalev, he’s been in there with good fighters and has top skills, canelo ain’t the only one... I’ve basically been repeating myself this whole thread so I won’t regurgitate what I’ve already said.

We just gonna have to wait and see.

Nobody's underestimating kovalev. Pretty much everybody agrees that this is a 50/50 fight. I even said in this thread that I'm having a hard time finding a path to victory for canelo. But I just think canelo is gonna find a way. I think kovalev is a gonna have a very hard time landing on him and canelo's speed advantage will be the difference. Both of them are high level boxers. But to me canelo is the smarter of the two, and he's able to think quicker on the fly. But I wouldn't be surprised by any outcome.

The quickness of canelo will be offset with the timing of the jab, him being smarter will not overcome the physical aspects.

I’ve looked at both there last fights to see how they match up and I’m actually predicting Kovalev is going to attack canelo body and chest . I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what there working on.

Jermall Charlo: Can't Hate On Canelo; Hats Off To Him
By Keith Idec

Published On Tue Oct 22, 2019, 09:32 AM EDT

NEW YORK – As much as Jermall Charlo wants to prove himself against Canelo Alvarez, the WBC middleweight champion couldn’t justify criticizing Alvarez.

Charlo respects Alvarez for moving up two weight classes to challenge WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev.

“He’s doing exactly what a lot of fighters would wanna do,” Charlo told BoxingScene.com following a press conference Thursday in Manhattan. “You know, if you ever looked at boxing and wanted to be that guy, you have to move up divisions and show people, ‘I’m the best in every division.’ And he’s doing a good job of it. His team is marketing him real well. He’s having championship fights outside of his weight division. Hey, hats off to him. You cannot hate on a person who’s doing such a thing, and so well. I have nothing bad to say bad about him. Just if you give me the opportunity, I will [fight Alvarez].”

Houston’s Charlo was the WBC’s mandatory challenger for Alvarez when Alvarez held that sanctioning organization’s middleweight title.

Instead of ordering Alvarez to make that mandatory defense, the WBC oddly elevated Alvarez to the unprecedented status of franchise champion. In a corresponding move, the WBC also promoted Charlo from its interim middleweight champion to world middleweight champion.

Charlo (29-0, 21 KOs) made the first defense of that WBC world middleweight title June 29. He beat Brandon Adams (21-3, 13 KOs) by unanimous decision that night in a 12-rounder at NRG Arena in Houston.

The former IBF junior middleweight champion is scheduled to defend it a second time December 7. Charlo is set to square off against Irish veteran Dennis Hogan (28-2-1, 7 KOs) in a main event Showtime will televise from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Charlo, 29, doesn’t know whether Alvarez ever will return to the middleweight division now that he has moved up 15 pounds to compete at light heavyweight. Whatever happens thereafter, Charlo expects the Mexican superstar to make a successful debut at the 175-pound limit November 2 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (DAZN).

“I think he will beat Kovalev,” Charlo said. “He’s younger, hungrier and the situation is [made] for him. Kovalev is a strong fighter, a big guy, tall and rangy. So, styles make matchups. Canelo’s gonna come straight to him and Kovalev is gonna have to box. Canelo’s kinda faster than [Andre] Ward, so his size will make the difference. We’ll get the chance to see what Kovalev will do. Canelo’s the favorite because the situation is for him. You’ve gotta knock him out.”

Though the smaller man, Alvarez (52-1-2, 35 KOs) is listed by most sports books as a 4-1 favorite over Kovalev (34-3-1, 29 KOs).

Charlo was a big shyt talker before Jacobs punked him, now he is very respectful. I guess he could talk like that against the lower level bums but now everyone wants him to fight the top level fighters hes very humble

I don't have problem with him, he said he would fight Andrade too

I'm just laughing that RG was for Charlo getting the fight over Kovalev and presented all this talk about Kovalev being a cherry pick, then the very man he caped for says he resepcts Canelo for fighting Kovalev and can't hate on him.

I think people hate his fans and not him, which is understandable.

Even canelo's main rivals telling the haters to shut the fukk up and admire greatness........ That's game set match for these clowns



That tells you everything you need to know. Only lames hating on this matchup. Pretty much every fighter and trainer that gets asked about it says they admire canelo for doing this. Cause they all know moving up 2 divisions to not only fight a legit knockout puncher but a guy with high level boxing skill is a dangerous proposition. This is prolly the riskiest fight any boxer has taken in years. Even moreso than brook moving up to fight little g. Cause kovalev is better and stronger than little g. There's no other fighter at 160 or even 168 who would even think of moving up to fight kovalev right now. And that's why they're all giving canelo his props. Even if they don't necessarily like him, they all respect his courage.
