Canelo vs Kovalev WBO Light Heavyweight Championship

[coin-investor]

I have high respect to Canelo I have seen his fights against Mayweather and Golovkin but he is fighting a good boxer in Kovalev who can move gracefully and has a knockout punch, I have seen his fight against Yarde and I'm impressed with his capability.

Canelo will have a hard time against Kovalev that's for sure and so is Kovalev against Canelo, this is a candidate for the match of the year if both fighters can live to what's expected of them.

In my opinion with this fight, I guess Kovalev had the upper hand with the range and he can set up his jabs because he has one of the best jabs and can fully control it at his advantage he can surely inflict damage by just jabbing consistently but he needs to incorporate feints to freeze his opponent and maintain distance to Canelo, But Canelo Alvarez surely can have an advantage on the inner distance if he can take Kovalev and put up a good distance inside, Well Canelo can have an advantage because of their Age, Kovalev needs to focus on their distance, but if I would think if who's gonna win in this fight I would go with Canelo if he can make a great inner distance and can come up with a counter-attack with Kovalev's jabbing then he might do it.

We have seen GGG jab his way on Alvarez but it's not that effective. As pointed out, he is already old and washed up fighter already. Although he is a true light heavyweight, Canelo is a huge middleweight and could be walking at a natural weight of around 160-175 lbs a light heavy already.

So there's no advantage for Kovalev here. And we all know that Canelo always look for his opponent's weak spot which is the body for Kovalev and this will be a big factor in this fight because when Canelo hits Kovalev it will be over.

We may never know for sure when they meet at the ring even though Canelo had the upperhand with his age, Let's not forget that Kovalev can sure throw some punches, You can not ignore his boxing back ground when he is in his prime, but I admit he is losing fumes now and may sure need to retire soon, but can we blame his if he don't want to stop?

I guess even though we are seeing some clue on who's gonna win in this fight, I can not even take my eyes on what Kovalev can do in the ring we can still never really determine the fight until it ends, but my bet is on Canelo in this.

I have high respect to Canelo I have seen his fights against Mayweather and Golovkin but he is fighting a good boxer in Kovalev who can move gracefully and has a knockout punch, I have seen his fight against Yarde and I'm impressed with his capability.

He was almost got knock out by a body shot in 8 rounds. Even his trainer called him out and telling him that he will stop the fight so personally I'm not impressed by his win. Yarde doesn't have that might experience and both of them looks tired.

Canelo will have a hard time against Kovalev that's for sure and so is Kovalev against Canelo, this is a candidate for the match of the year if both fighters can live to what's expected of them.

Canelo is a slow starting and this could be an advantage to Kovalev early. But when Canelo gets hot and started his punch started to hit the target, Kovalev won't have any at the end.

Canelo will fight Kovalev for his 4th division title, reports said that promoters are expected to officially announce the fight this week.
Betting odds not yet found on the bookies maybe because this fight is not officially announce.

If this fight will push through, Canelo would still be the favorite here even though Kovalev is the bigger of the two. Youth and talent clearly are the advantage of Canelo but it's just exciting to see how he would perform vs the 6'0" Kovalev.

Your thoughts guys.....

Why he is the favorite I watch how Lovalev knock out Yarde inhis last fight and I think that's pretty impressive, Yarde is not a patsy but technically Kovalev is a superior fighter, he has a body good movement and the weight is very ideal to Kovalev, I don't how Canelo bacome the favorite of this fight, Kovalev should be the favorite here.

[Baofeng]

Kovalev is done, he is way past his prime here. I was not impressed by his win against Yarde last August. Has still the same weakness from body shots. We all know that Canelo regularly throws body shot so I'm not seeing something special at Kovalev at this stage. Just his belt and I'm sure Canelo will win by either KO/TKO here.

So we could just say he is doing this for the money? Or he could be a hopeful boxer to revive his career despite the age. Canelo only lost one which was with Floyd and that it. I even think he won that fight. But its certain Canelo is the top fighter who beat the hell of the big names in boxing.

Lol, boxing is a business, of course everyone is doing it for the money. I'm not taking away from Kovalev, he has done great throughout his career. If you look at this contemporaries, Hopkins, Andre Ward, Jean Pascal they are all done in their career at this point. He is facing Canelo here, at this prime and has all the advantage against him. I advise everyone to watch the full fight, not just the highlights of the knock out of Yarde.

yes I agree with you canelo has the soul of a tall fighter and he is young, certainly has a young spirit that is still attached. but the fight is not easy, that is, kovalev, which has more flying hours, is of course also very experienced, Canelo must be able to control the game and have a strong fighting strategy in order to win.

Well Riuz and Joshua are fighting towards the end of the year, that will almost certainly be fireworks. Also, Fury vs Wallet (/s)!

Sure, Kovalev has a knockout punch, but he has also been flattened twice in has career, first against Warde and then against Alvarez. He was already beaten by one Alvarez, so Saul Alvarez should definitely put him down early.

Canelo is a slow starting and this could be an advantage to Kovalev early. But when Canelo gets hot and started his punch started to hit the target, Kovalev won't have any at the end.

Canelo doesn't always start slow, only when he's fighting strong opposition like GGG. Don't you remember how he basically flattened Kirkland in the 1st round?

I personally think this match will be an easy victory for Canelo, probably stoppage by combination in the middle rounds. There is no way Kovalev will be able to eat the shots that Canelo was dropping in GGG for 12 rounds straight.

[Ranly123]

Kovalev already past his prime but he still has the power to knock the conciousness out of Canelo. So Canelo should not slack off and train his ass out since he is facing a much bigger and much experienced fighter this time around.

[DeathAngel]

I don’t see anybody being able to deal with Canelo at the moment, he’s on his own at the top of the tree.

That Kirkland fight was Canelo's best weight. When he started to move up he has face tougher opponents and weak champions, (Rocky Fielding) but when he is up against formidable foe's like GGG or Daniel Jacobs he starts slow and read them.

This could be the case here as he is moving up in weight again and try to test a natural LW champion in this division that's why it is a good chance for Kovalev if he can start strong. But we all know that Canelo has a granite chin, even GGG didn't break it so this will be good in the first few rounds until Canelo saw some opening and finished Kovalev middle to late rounds.

[TopTort777]

The only one who Kovalev is able to beat are women... (just read the news about his life outside the ring).
It will be an easy fight for Canelo. Kovalev is not even close to Canelo's level.

[dothebeats]

I take my pick for Canelo in here knowing that the lad is in good form. He knows how to play against his opponents, and we all know what happened to Kirkland, don't we? Even though Kovalev and Kirkland isn't really comparable due to the former's experience in the ring, we just know how strong Canelo's punching power has become over the years. This is would not be an easy win, and Kovalev will surely work the hell out of Canelo in the ring, but no doubt he has this.

[Chrystora123]

at the age of 36 years plus he must lose weight if you want to fight with Canelo, we will only see Kovalev's defeat at this match because his ambitions are too big.  

Canelo is king middle class WBA & WBC.. this battle will be very exciting because each will surely defend their belts.

[virasog]

As I looked into Sergey Kovalev records (34-3-1, 29 KOs), he have an amazing knockout percentage of 76% compared to Canelo Alvarez (52-1-2, 35 KOs) with only 63% but looking their fighting experience...Canelo have more which it is likely to think that he have advantage over Kovalev.
It have no doubt that Canelo could still have the winning prize.

Kovalev  has an impressive record, however, I don't know this guy, maybe he does not have big fights like Canelo.
This guy is older than Canelo, Kovalev is already 36 years old but it's not impossible also for him to win against a younger one as Manny proved that when he was 40 years old beating Thurman.

In Boxing there's a lot of upsets, if you watch the AJ and Ruiz fight, so we cannot be sure that Canelo will easily win against Kovalev since Kovalev is not an easy opponent based on his record.

You should watch his last fight against Yarde not only impressive but he shows that he still has it, excellent footwork, he is really a natural light heavyweight, he will be coming comfortably with his weight, while Canelo would have to add some pounds I don't know if he can't keep up with Kovalev speed and punching power.

Kovalev will enter this match as a favorite on November 2 at Las Vegas, Nevada. Also note that it will be the first fight for Canelo Alvarez’s as a light heavyweight. I am sure the Russian superstar, Kovalev will dominate this match with his strong and powerful punches.

Hmm, why would Kovalev lose weight though? Did you know that they are fighting for his belt at LHW? And Canelo is the one going up in weight to challenge him So it's the other way around, Canelo has the ambition here to go up and challenge the champion at his natural weight.

Only Kovalev here will defend his belt, Canelo's Middleweight crown is not at stake here.

Majority do loves Canelo but im seeing the other way around.Some say this would be an easy fight but i would tell that Kovalev wont really that
easy thing to happen.Lets see on how this fight goes.

This is a pure example on posting up without even knowing on what they are saying.

It will be an easy fight for Canelo. Kovalev is not even close to Canelo's level.

This is an another issue though but not related to the fight.

[nydiacaskey01]

This is quite an interesting match because Canelo is going to be the challenger here. Hi is the king in his Division but this Division is ruled by this guy Kovalev. Looking ar boxrec, 76% of his wins are more on KOs compared to Canelo which is 64%. Kovalev has a 4 inch advantage against Canelo but this will be an advantage to Canelo to target Kovalevs body.

[TopTort777]

Just dont forget that Canelo is 7 years younger than Kovalev. This time more aged boxer doesnt means he is more experienced.

[DarkDays]

Just dont forget that Canelo is 7 years younger than Kovalev. This time more aged boxer doesnt means he is more experienced.

Couldn't be more true.

Canelo has an incredible record despite still being under 30... 55 professional fights, only 1 loss by UD and two draws.

Kovalev has been stopped twice by lesser men. He's about to be in for a world of pain.

The odds have just opened on the event, Canelo is 1/5 favorite to win, or 1/6 on some platforms.

Canelo has been groomed by Oscar Dela Hoya very nicely, that's why he is the cash cow of today. He was relatively unknown when he fought Mayweather. But Oscar really knows that Canelo is going to be one of the best and now Dela Hoya is reaping the rewards.

Eventhough he is the champion here, Canelo is the more complete fighter and even at a young age of under 30, has enough experience to beat Kovalev.
