I don't really respect this fight tbh. It was weeks after Kovalev's fight with Yarde. Kovalev didn't throw any heavy shots at Canelo. When he came up against Bivol he found out the truth of that weight class
Canelo fighting the best and risk his career record and titles thats why he is the best
If he faced Beterbiev we would be writing Canelo's eulogy.
This was a highly underrated win and I don't think DAZN did enough to capture the historic significance of it in the build up. Canelo was attempting to become the only ex welterweight since Thomas Hearns to become champion at 175 and did it standing only 5'7.5 while jumping up two divisions. And despite some people trying to downplay the risk Kovalev posed, he remained a capable and dangerous champ with a long pistol like jab with the power to drop LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS and KO power in both fists. Kovalev was the most accomplished fighter in the division and remained the number 2 ranked champ coming off of beating two undefeated fighters ranked in the top 10, including stopping Yarde who would later give Beterbiev a tough scrap.
The fight wasn't a gimmie either, instead Canelo had to adapt a different style and come in with a high guard and utilize his head movement to close the distance. He'd set up traps and look for openings to swiftly counter and carried enough pop to earn Kovalev's respect and cause him to think twice about sitting down on his power. However, Kovalev still got power shots off but besides having excellent defense, Canelo also has an iron chin and was able to withstand them. It was a chess match between the two in which Canelo took something out of the bigger man punch by punch and took him out with a masterfully executed sequence.
They’re really trying to sale this trash John Ryder fight with all these documentaries lol. I wonder what the excuses will be when they show the bivol fight. I doubt they show that one
Not a canelo fan but I'm impressed with Canelo in this fight
No doubt Canelo is face of boxing. Thanks to his team and his own pure talent, succeeded a lot of things. On the other hand, I would see a video about his losing to Bivol in serie. I wonder what Canelo thought before and after facing with him. What champions think later getting a lose, how they recover themselves.
What's the music at the end? 22:00 to
Canelo is definitely an all time great. The only one we have from this era that’s still fighting. Tank is up next
Lol he beat a washed up Kovalev who was a shell of his former self while ducking beterbiev 😅
nobody ever seems to remember that Kovalev literally killed a guy in the ring once
it happens so quickly but when they show it later in slow motion you can really see it. the left to the neck stunned Kovalev and he stumbled, and in the half-second or so of him stumbling back Canelo keeps on guard, but when he sees his arms finally drop he connects with that short right with absolute pinpoint precision. it's just a master class of boxing at the highest, highest level.
Put some respect on CANELO’S name
As an American Kov beat Andre both times! He basically ended his career and forced him to retire. Its a shame when politics persuade a decision.
Que dia sale el episodio 4?
Hagan un documental pero de cómo Canelo lo dominó y no pudo hacer nada Canelin 😂😂😂😂😂
Whole world knows Kov took a dive worse than Sonny Liston
watching them trying to sell us the kovalev farce was painfull, cringy and disgusting. the "crusher" was crushing on his benefactor in the lobby the morning before the fight. taking a selfie and thanking canelo. this wasnt a fight …. it was a million dollar business deal. money first integrity 3rd or 4th
Canelo out here making moves yet tank the face of boxing cuz he beat ryan Garcia 😂😂. Make it make sense to me please
mexican monster beats canelo via early stoppage RD 8
Krusher just grateful for the payday. He had a sparring partner mentality the whole night.Look closely how Krusher pulled all his punches. He was working with Canelo and not trying to compete. He fully expected to surrender his title to Canelo
Garcia Made a Big mistake cutting ties with canelo and eddy
I want the whole world to listen to me and pay very closely attention. Harrass me and I will harrass everyone who bothers me and disrespect me back. Target me and I will Target you back. I hope I made myself clear. I don't care who you are. I will not allow anyone target me. Thank you. Sharon Coetzee. 👑🇿🇦
Incredible kovalev first fight at 175 regardless of the age and the haters will keep hating still
I’m waiting for the Cotto one!
As impressive this win was.. Lets all be over Kovalev was way passed his best at this point.
Canelo the king
