Comments Thread For: Canelo: It Was Very Difficult To Get To Kovalev's Body

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS The widespread expectation among boxing fans and reporters prior to Saturday night was that Canelo Alvarez would beat Sergey Kovalev by battering him to the body. Mexico's Alvarez is one of the sport's most committed, effective body punchers. Russia's Kovalev had shown vulnerability to the body, thus that presumption made sense.

Kovalev fought like a scared fighter against the much smaller man. He knew canelo was coming after the body so he refused to throw any big shots to not risk getting countered. Wasted a lot of energy moving and pitty pat jabbing that were just hitting Canelo's gloves to keep him off his body. So Canelo adjusted and targeted the head more since Kovalev was so paranoid of the body and broke him down and iced him up stairs.

You try to take away 1 thing and leave yourself vulnerable to something else that's what happened.

Kovalev truly has a great jab.

The KO was sudden and Kovalev fought like he was afraid. I wonder what kind of testing was done before the bout. Whatever happened to guys not carrying their power up in higher weight classes? Canelo has always had good power but he's never been a Monster like Inoue. Don't let the Khan, Fielding, and Kirkland KOs fool you

It was a couple very accurate, clean shots. Kovalev makes huge mistakes. Canelo capitalized.

You don’t need mega power when you land that cleanly on the button.

Can someone please create a meme with Adrian Broner's father brushing Kovalev's hair while he's asleep on the ropes PLEASE !!!

Kovalev was very wary about protecting his body from ginger's attack

To the point that he barely throw any right hands, and kept jabbing non stop instead

trying to avoid getting countered by Canelo's sunday punch, the left hook to the body


the plan worked for Kova and made it a very boring a fight

I thought Kova was gonna win comfortably on points in a lackluster fight, but then KO11 happened and it was over

it was shocking to see the midget brutally icing the bigger man

ginger spiritually channeled Mike Tyson right there

Great Post, he really looked pathetic by refusing to put any real power behind his shots. How can u expect to win a fight against Canelo shoeshining ?

Much smaller? They were probably around the same weight.

No they weren't stop lying. lol Canelo said he was expecting Kovalev to outweigh him on fight night 10-15lbs. Not to mention all the height and reach advantage he gave up. Canelo isn't even a big middleweight and fought a career light heavyweight. But you wouldn't know anything about that because your girlfriend GGG never moves up talks about it but never does it.
