Message: [QUOTE="ssbriefcase, post: 3164318, member: 883"] Well, I could have bias cofirmation in this fight, but Canelo's camp saw a weakness that also is no secret; Kovalev's vulnerability to the body. They knew they had one of if not the best counterpuncher in the game, and the more powerful fighter to chew up the body inside. Kovalev's camp purposely were saving his heavy right for later, but after taking the body shots, K himself even admitted after we never saw it because his elbow had to stay low to protect. Something my girlfriend pointed out as soon as he started doing it. There were 2 Mayweather type tactics presented in this fight, one of which the announcers called out, him just going with the flow and not worrying about being behind on points, and sticking to the game plan. The other is this fight happening in the first place with Canelo's camp, seeing a wounded deer (career wise), and targeting them. He did move up 2 weight classes so I don't feel as he did exactly what Floyd did, but still. There's a reason Canelo was a huge favorite, it was style and fighting a fighter who is done imo. Can't forget to talk about DAZN. They should be taking a lot of heat today, that was a disgrace to the sport imo. You let another sport dictate a mega fight to try and peel off a few viewers?? The optics of 2 boxers laying down almost sleeping on couches waiting for an hour as cameras are right on them is embarrassing for the sport. If these streaming services can't get their act together I hope they fail and go away. I had technical difficulties with ESPN+ as well. Also the least excitable announcing crew I've heard. They're not the big boys that's for sure. I'd love to see Ward come out of retirement and fight Canelo. For Canelo only taking 2 serious shots in 10 rounds, and still being behind, said something to me also, he can't stay at that weight and fight as mentioned above Berterbiev and Bivol. And I totally agree with "where's he going now for a big fight?" And GGG is an avenue I'm not even going to talk about. My brother and I have decent seats for Wilder v Ortiz II in a few weeks, can't wait! [/QUOTE]
