Im nervous as fukk about this one. Canelo is more skilled but he's still gonna be moving up 2 divisions to fight one of the biggest punchers in the sport. He's gonna be walking a tight rope the whole way.

My main concern is his stamina. This isn't straight up and down little g anymore. If his stamina gives out, he's gonna be in some serious danger. And when canelo gases he has a tendency to eat some jabs. And Kov got a jab that can knock dudes out. Big dudes.

It's gonna be tough, but I know canelo's gonna rise to the occasion and prove once and for all he's the best fighter on the planet. Kov isn't gonna run away or hide behind his jab all night. He's gonna come in for the kill. And I think that will only bring out the best in canelo. I expect canelo's stamina to be better at 175 where he doesn't have to cut as much weight. And I expect his punching power to be better too. He's gonna go in there and try to get kov's respect early. The speed difference is gonna be the X factor. Kov never experienced speed like canelo. He's probably gonna be a little shell shocked at first. If canelo is able to land some clean shots early I expect kov to be reluctant to sit down on anything.



Either way, this shyt gonna be intense :wow:



But #CaneloCartel will prevail. Like always :CaneloRejoice:
:mjcry: it pains me to say this but I'm going to put money on kovalev

In no way should kovalev lose to a middleweight, Canelo isn't even a big middleweight

Tough but I think red got it...

That left hook to the body is going to be serious problem for Kov...

At this point he loses to all of them... based on today
Imagine if Beterbiev gets him hurt the way Yarde got him in the 8th... :huhldup:
Bivol is too fast and schooled for him atp
Gvozdyk too probably

Gvozdyk and Beterbiev have questionable chins so there's that but... :manny:
We still haven’t seen Beterbiev go long rounds and his chin isn’t great. Callum Johnson had him hurt badly

He went almost full 12 against Koelling, stamina seemed good.
Yeah he’s kinda chinny but recovers quick, I don’t think Johnson had him hurt for long. Beterbiev was fighting back and beating his ass a minute later already
