Kovalev Contests Criticism He Can't Take Body Shots

Fair point, however, Canelo is a body snatcher, so we don't know how Kovalev will react when he is hit by a clean body shots. What I mean is that it's not a low blow as what he claims Ward throws on him on their controversial fight.

No boxers ever admitted that they are hurt by body punches, so Kovalev is not an exception. Here is a good break down of that Kovalev vs Ward fight regarding the body shots, and see if Ward hit him with low blow.

Lest we forget guys, there is also a exciting match, a co-featured in this WBO Light Heavyweight championship. Romero Duno of the Philippines vs Ryan Garcia.

Ryan Garcia is being groom by Oscar Dela Hoya to be the new face of boxing, but for unknown reasons there seems to be a some rift going on recently between Oscar and Ryan. On the other hand, Duno is very impressive and I think he can pull some sort of upset come Nov. 2.

Dont know on why we do talk about upset.Basing on stats its clear that it would be still a worthy shot.I cant deny that this fight is a good one.

I think the Duno and Garcia is one match that can bring additional excitement to the event I have seen both fighters fights and we really do have a good match in terms of who has the edge, ring generalship Garcia has the edge but Duno can surprise us with a big punch, I have seen him knock one guy with a single punch and that punch is coming when his opponent his hugging him even his jab has an impact.

So aside from Canelo VS Kovalev, which is exciting to see if how Canelo will entertained his fans fighting much bigger Kovalev.
This   two young fighters will also show their talents trying to avoid losing as their stats showed both cleared without any loses.
This might adds some fun while waiting for the big events, knowing this two races have a good history from this sports, they
need to keep the pride alive.

Edit: Sorry for the mistake and I don't want to hang it over, Duno got 1 loss while Garcia is the one who has clean stats. Thanks @ Darker

It steam from Garcia's last fight (supposedly) against Avery Sparrow. Sparrow was arrested before their weigh-in for gun chargers buy Garcia was not informed by Golden Boy. And then Oscar tagged Duno to be the replacement fighter by then Garcia and his team says no because they wanted more time to prepare as they reason out that Duno is more dangerous opponent. And Garcia felt that Golden Boy was not protecting Ryan and instead trying to throw him to Duno.

But now the stage is set, I can't wait for this one, yes, Duno has all the tools to beat Ryan Garcia, so I wouldn't be surprise if he wins by knock out.

In addition to that, even Canelo is not happy with Oscar specially pushing him with a trilogy with GGG. And there are rumours that some bad actors are whispering on Ryan Garcia's ear, that's why there are some fuel between him and Oscar.



Noticed what the shirt says, Lol.

Ryan has a good reason why he should feel betrayed, look at what happened to the ledwaba Pacquiao fight  Pacquiao was a last-minute replacement against Ledwaba and Ledwaba do not know who Pacquiao is and he only watch his fight after their weigh-in, he caught Ledwaba by surprise and it could happen again here in the Garcia Dunno fight.

LOL! Did you even take a look at their records? Romero Duno has a record of 21-1-0. That means he has a single loss in his record. Ryan Garcia has a clean one though with a perfect 18-0-0. This is actually the co-main event of the battle between Canelo and Kovalev. Which means this is a bigger fight than the rest of the supporting bouts.

It looks like Duno is the more hungry fighter than the younger Garcia. I hope he will come out the better orthodox after the fight. It is amazing General Santos, Philippines has a lot to give to the boxing ring.

Although Duno has one loss it cannot be considered a good loss, he lost because his opponent is a very dirty fighter, I'm betting on Duno because of his punching power and he is a real slugger, the match actually is very even and could go to any one of them who are very fit to win the fight, if any boxer that can stop Garcia that's Duno I will not be surprised if this match goes the distance and there'll be a rematch.

How on Earth can Garcia vs Duno be co-main event? That's just ridiculous really.

They're probably just doing it to put Ryan's name in the spotlight and quickly turn him into a PPV fighter.

That said, Garcia should win, but I doubt it will be by knockout.

Well, The Ring has it.^[1] Golden Boy must have no other options in store for the co-main event. Aside from Canelo vs. Kovalev as the main event and Duno vs. Garcia as the co-main event for the unification of the vacant WBC silver lightweight and NABO lightweight, the fight night will also showcase the battles between Bakhram Murtazaliev and Jorge Fortea, Blair "The Flair" Cobbs and Carlos Ortiz, Meiirim Nursultanov and Cristian Olivas, and female boxers Seniesa Estrada and Marlen Esparza.

Finally, the night will also present the son of the great Hall of Famer Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield, Evan Holyfield, in his professional debut battle against Nick Winstead in the junior middleweight division.

Would you believed what Kovalev team is saying?

But Kovalev's head trainer, former world champion Buddy McGirt, believes the tables can easily be turned - because the veteran coach is not convinced that Canelo is capable of taking hard shots to the body.

https://www.boxingscene.com/kovalevs-coach-hints-turning-tables-body-attack-on-canelo--143636

I think Canelo has been tested in his career from several body shots and it can hold up. GGG hit him hard during their fight (GGG is also a body snatcher), but he didn't flinch at all. The question of the weaker body here is Kovalev himself, so I don't know why they think that they turn the tables here.

I guess we can call it "destiny" with regards to Manny Pacquiao's defining victory against Ledwaba. 

This is really a good co-mai event. Those two are very promising and it's good that we have them under before the anticipated Alvarez vs Kovalev fight to set the tone. I'm expecting a lot of fireworks between Duno and Garcia. Those two had something to settle here and it's hard to pick who's going to be the winner here because they are really good at this point in there career. Garcia has the speed but Duno has the tenacity and heart. And I wanted to see Garcia being tested here, specially his chin.

Maybe his team is like trying to play mind games here with Canelo's team. I mean why are you going to tell your strategy is this biggest fight of Kovalev's career? The only thing to test is Canelo's chin here, can it hold up to a natural and bigger LHW like Kovalev who also have a decent punch?

And Canelo is going up in weight here, so I don't know why they are going to target his body and soften him up, Kovalev, on the other hand should protect his body from Canelo's body blow because he is known to throw and knockout his opponent with one shot.

This Tale of The Canelo vs Kovalev match will be held in a few days. I will make a bet for this match on Asian total over 10.5 with odds @ 1.66 on Sportsbet.
Canelo will become a winner in this match for sure. but not KO's . Kovalev is too strong for KO's I guess
what do you think?

Well the basis is that Kovalev is the bigger guy here, natural LHW and obviously his chin should hold up against a Canelo who is going up in weight. But Kovalev is very weak in his body and Canelo might target that to win by KO, just saying.

On the surface, Kovalev is the bigger guy, but people forget that he was once knock out by an unknown Eleider Alvarez. It was not a body shot but the guy caught him and putting him down in the canvass twice So take away that notion that the bigger guy can't be knock out here.

Because Canelo Alvarez can give Kovalev problems specially in the later rounds. Specially if Canelo will target his body first and then go head hunt for the knock out.

But Kovalev won the rematch, I would say that Eleider Alvarez was really doing good in the first fight, specially his jab. Kovalev is known to have a solid jab as well, but Alvarez was solid that night so hats off to him. However, it was a different story in the rematch, if I'm not mistaken it was UD win for Kovalev.

I'm betting on Dunno but after watching both boxer's fight and training, Garcia seems to be the more dangerous fighter, he is so fast and strong, very much reminds me of Manny Pacquiao in his younger days, even in the interview he is very vocal that he is going to have respect after the fight, it's not goign to be an easy fight for Duno, his footwork is questionable against Garcia, I hope his punching power is more solid than Garcia.
