Not sure at all in that

His lateral movement and counters gave Charlo fits on the first fight regardless of what anyone thinks of the results
He gonna be even more confident now, he knows he can outpoint Charlo and make him tentative

Charlo needs to vary his offense this time and relying less on charging in stratight lines and straight punches.
If Harrison won't get cocky because his win and will follow his gameplan I envision another tough ass fight for Charlo at least, Jermell and Jermall too like exchanges, if someone can move laterally and deny the exchanges from them they are struggling or just don't look as good as otherwise, see Korobov, Harrison, Trout, Martirosyan, even John Jackson until he got finally clocked by Jermell.

Kovalev is going to come over canelo jab with that over hand right.

KOvalev isn't really an overhand guy he's rather throwing 1-2s, 2-1s and different combinations of these, not really throwing chopping or looping shots. We will see, I'm very interested in this, I don't take Canelo's win nearly as granted as many, in fact I'm only picking Canelo by close points victory and he'd impress me if he would stop or widely beat Kovalev.
After Kovalev vs Alvarez 2 I would have picked Kovalev, but I thought Kovalev looked a bit more vulnerable against Yarde even though widely ahead on cards at the time he got the stoppage. So I think Canelo might just out point him.

If Canelo wins this fight without controversy he's P4P number 1 as far as I'm concerned. He has an argument for it now too but that would seal it.

Some think other 160 or 168 contenders could beat Kovalev too but Kovalev is still a top 3-4 guy in what's arguably the best division of boxing and it's Canelo who's trying to fight him not any of the other 160ers or 168ers. So I can't give imaginary credit to those guys without actually trying to do the job.

I don't say this as a diss to them, there are some who I like very much like Andrade and I doN't even expect them (as I didn't expect Canelo) to move up 1-2 division straight into a Kovalev fight. Canelo is doing it acrually, let's see how it ends up.

Crazy

If they are banking on Kovalev being better than Beterbiev... they are wrong :mjlol:
I don't think they will go for that fight and I don't even expect Canelo to go for it. Beterbiev is in his prime, probably even a harder puncher than Kovalev, much more physical of a fighter and he fukks you up from any range, it's not like being on the inside with him would be a breather, he can knock you down even in a clinch...

If Beterbiev didn't respect Gvozdyk's power afterall and was able to ragdoll him on the inside, imagine what would he do to a natural 160er... :scust:
Canelo is ballsy af even for going up against a past prime Kovalev at 175 he should steer clear of Beterbiev.

But let's see how he does with Kovalev first, the only case I can see him fighting Beterbiev if he seriously whoops Kovalev, like if it's unexpectedly easy, not even competitive.

Yeah he was taking out of his ass but interesting they arent shying away from it.

Canelo was probably :gucci: inside.

Id like him to go to 68 after this
