Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3163997, member: 289"] I wondered if Canelo Alvarez could take Sergei Kovalev's big punch but we never found out. He countered the bigger man's right hand with left hooks and body shots, which have hurt Kovalev. Kovalev tried to win the fight with just his jab and he threw hundreds of them. Most of them were blocked but i saw Canelo's head snap back a number of times. Alvarez seemed content to block them and counter-punch most of the fight. The TV guy had him ahead, (and surprisingly, punch count did, too, 133-115). I Had Kovalev ahead on points, 6 rebounds to 4 when Canelo finally caught him in the 11th round with a right to the temple, a left to the neck and a right to the jaw, dropping a beaten Kovalev onto the bottom strand of the ropes. CA said after the fight that he was really a light heavyweight when not training for a middleweight fight and he might stay at that level. [/QUOTE]
