Is Canelo just gonna fight at CaneloCatchWeights 10 pounds heavier than way back when going forward?

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Since it got rumored I thought Canelo would win by a bodyshot ko. Crazy its actually getting made.

Canelo by TKO RD10

I don’t see it.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Just rewatched Fondura vs Clark. I just can't watch any fights called by Goossen anymore.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

I don’t see it.

What do you see then?

 

[patscorpio]

damn its not in newark

 

[GzUp]

What do you see then?

I don’t see canelo with the ko.

He’s gonna have to go through some fire to get close to Kovalev body, it’s not that easy. If canelo tries that come forward style like he did with triple g in the second fight he’s getting stopped.

Kovalev is a much better boxer then what people think, I got him wining the fight.

this was a dope tweet i came across...one thing you can never take away from Don King is that he knew how to build a gotdamn card...if Al Haymon or the cats in his inner circle ever study shyt like this, peep game, and correct their matchmaking..PBC would live up to its true potential with the roster it has

they say King was able to make those big stacked cards cause he was stealing from all those mofos

I'm interested to see how Canelo deals with Kovalev's jab. Kovalev has a long, hard jab that is similar to a power punch. He also has significant reach and height advantage. Knowing Canelo this is going to be a brawl. The question becomes how can Canelo win if he can't get him out of their with power shots to the body? Also another question is to ask is how much power does Kovalev have left? If he has some then a knockout is possible. To be fair though Canelo is the best defensive fighter in the world currently and he will be very hard to hit. A betting man would take Canelo.

Canelo has great upper body movement but Kov jab is going to touch you all over. So unlike GGG Kov will touch Canelo body chest shoulders with his jab. Kind of how he did Bhop.

All that cute shyt will be negated because Kov will still make contact with Canelo.

Canelo has gotten better in the pocket and close range tho. If Canelo fights at that range he is good. Kov is food on the inside. Plus Kov best punches are his 1&2 he really ain’t got shyt besides that. I know Canelo can handle Kov on the inside the problem is going to come when Canelo eventually tire and Kov hard and accurate 1 2s going to be coming down the pipe. Kov not going to let him off the hook when he tires. Jacobs and GGG fought like some hoes to be honest and they let Canelo rest and shyt. That let Canelo rejuvenate and a fresh Canelo is a hell of a fighter. I don’t think Canelo has the stamina to batter Kov in the trenches all night. Kov is a true 12 round fighter, he does tire out no doubt but he is good at bagging rounds even when he tired with his great jab.

It should be a good fight and I’m leaning slightly Canelo but the late rounds could get shaky for Canelo if Kov survives them body shots.

All in all I think Canelo is rare talent and he will step it up a notch over a fading Kov who this might be his final farewell and he might just come to pick up a check and bounce he knows he on borrowed time anyway
