I'm more excited in the Duno Garcia fight because of the build-up, Garcia is indeed a great potential and a good find for the golden boy promotion he passes his big test easily against Duno, but he still needs a lot of big fights I wonder if he is ready to fight Lomachenko and if the Golden Boy has planned to fit against a real champion in Loma.

You are certainly correct in that Garcia has really great potentials. At 21 years young, flaunting with great boxing skills, and with an excellent record to boast of, he has a a lot to conquer in his career. But his match against Romero Duno was never a test of his skills, much less a big test. If at all, it was Duno's test on the contrary. But it was more like Golden Boy Promotion's way of feeding Garcia with a more or less worthy opponent to defeat.

^^ Exactly, I don't know what the hell Duno is doing on the first round. I would understand that he swing and move left and right, but it became predictable that Ryan Garcia was also to time his movement and hit that massive shot.

Not taking away from Ryan Garcia, but I'm still not sold though, he was just throwing straight left and right here. For Duno, damn, he was calling for Garcia for a long time and this is what he gonna show us?

I also notice that it looks like an easy win for Garcia, Duno is going forward and trying to connect the straight right, and in the interview, Ryan told that he was hit and he felt good and he knew he had the fight, it means he can take his punch, Duno lacks a lot of things in this fight, he has no good lateral movements all he does is to move forward and create a pressure, I wonder where will Duno go after this.

Very easy win indeed, Ryan's chin was tested and he felt that he can take Duno's right so his confidence grow. He was just there like doing some target practice until he caught Duno flash and he has power indeed. Duno can still come back but there's no more hype around him, I thought Duno has a chin as well but Ryan was ready, I don't Duno's team should re-evaluate, whether to move in weight or try to stay in this division.

CANELO VS. KOVALEV RESULTS: CANELO ALVAREZ KNOCKS OUT SERGEY KOVALEV TO WIN LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE

The miracle didnt happend. Young, experienced and hungry Canelo now is the owner of a new title/belt, Congratz.
But must say respect to Kovalev, he had a few good monents. Definitely advice to watch this fight.

Congrats to Canelo, close fight and i wonder what the judges score would be if the knock-out did not happen. Kovalev gaining momentum in the championship rounds. I have a feeling that CAnelo would go back to the middle weight division, Kovalev is the weakest of the title holder on the light heavy weight, that's why Canelo fought him. Oscar, give me that GGG trilogy, shouted Canelo lol.

Btw, Garcia KO Duno in the first round. That was also an interesting fight to see.

Mum on this one, bad news.

Judges:

Dave Moretti: Alvarez: 96, Kovalev 94
Julie Lederman: Alvarez: 96, Kovalev 94
Don Trella: Alvarez: 95, Kovalev 95

So Canelo Alvarez is up on two judges by 2 points, and a draw with the third judge.

https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-alvarez-vs-sergey-kovalev-official-scorecards--143961

@bisdak40 - yes, our fellow kababayan Duno fell short on his bid. Perhaps this is a big lessons for him, fight strategy is very wrong, he should have try to play safe in the first round, sort of trying to read Garcia first. But I guess he is really looking for that knock out here.

Sad to see Kovalev being KO here. I think it was the same right straight that took Amir Khan as well. I'm impressed with Canelo as he was able to carry his power all the way to this division. He really feels comfortable, time for Andre Ward to come out of his retirement and face Canelo here.

And so the hype around Garcia continues, but it's going to be interesting as to how Oscar will set up his next opponent, because there seems to be a rift between the two and it's for real, in my opinion.

Canelo got him I believe before the round 10 it's only a matter of time, there'really much sting to the power of Kovalev with the way he fought we have a good fight if Andre Ward decided to make a come back, but I don't want him back without a tune fight.
And on Garcia Dela Hoya rift I think it's already settled, Ryan sign up another extension of the contract so it's means everything fine now with both of them.

I'm more disappointed on the Duno Garcia match, it came to fast I thought we will going to have a battle between two tough fighters, in this fight Garcia prove too good for Duno he can take Duno's fight and that's what things did not go well for Duno, he lacks head movement and cannot get into Garcia's range to throw his strong right hand, Garcia I'm sure will become multiple champions in the future.

Canelo turned out the better man inside the ring. Well, he was the huge favorite right from the start. Canelo has now achieved a record in boxing history as the fourth boxer to have won a junior middleweight and a light heavyweight world titles. That's a wide 21-pound spread.

Kovalev gave a good fight. Time to relax a bit as he has another battle to face in the coming weeks. This time, a court trial for his felony case.

The Garcia vs. Duno fight was not interesting at all. Duno was a mere cat inside the lion's den. They were asking for it, calling for the young Garcia to stop running, and now they got their wish.

^ Kovalev's team is probably aiming for the weight limit as they don't want him to cut extra pounds to maybe preserve his power.

Canelo looks big here. I hope he doesn't gas out.

We will see if Canelo can carry his power up to LHW against Kovalev, and definitely will be tested here. Kovalev is no push-over and people shouldn't write him off.

@Baofeng - rehydration clause ensure that Kovalev won't go as high as 190-195 pounds (his natural weight) during fight night itself.

I'll go for Kovalev this time. It is quite difficult for Canelo to jump into the higher division and the push he made of his career is quite risking his winning trick. Though we know how he fight on his current level but it actually a big difference when you are fighting big guys just like Kovalev.

Let's get into higher bets with Kovalev over Canelo as I could see that Canelo won't be the same as how he fight in the lower division and less chances of winning.

Didn't you see what Canelo did to Rocky Fielding who is approximately the same height as Kovalev? He absolutely destroyed his body man.

Kovalev is definitely going to need some serious lower guard to keep Canelo back, and I don't think I've ever seen a taller guy successfully manage it.

Think about it, Canelo has the chin of Thor. He ate some disgusting shots from GGG (who arguably hits as hard as Kovalev) and kept coming forward.

If Kovalev manages to be the first person in history to keep Canelo at range, he has a shot. If they start brawling, it's over for Kovalev.

For sure Kovalev team already able to get that sort of strategy.They know on what Canelo is capable off when it comes to infight or direct brawl.
Having distance and avoid at all cost to be dragged into a close fight.Agree that canelo has the chin of Thor. LOL!
When it comes to chances i would see it 60-40 on this fight.

Very interesting though that they have a re-hydration clause, (I wasn't aware of it).

"By Dan Ambrose: Saul Canelo Alvarez will have a weight HANDICAP in the form of a rehydration clause for his title challenge against WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev this Saturday night. According to Dan Rafael, both fighters must weigh-in on Saturday morning for a secondary weight check, and neither fighter can go above 185 pounds."

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2019/11/canelo-vs-kovalev-has-rehydration-clause-in-contract/

I guess this really favors Canelo as he is the one going up in weight here. Also this is not new, but this take away the advantage of the bigger guy, in this case, Kovalev and could affect him negatively.

Kovalev has an hour to pass the weight and he did pass the weight here is the video of that second weight in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObS-axt0els I wonder why he is having a hard time to pass the weight when he is fighting as a heavyweight for quite some time, this will have an impact on his performance it depends now on his conditioning manager, on how to get back the lost fluids and the performance before the fight.

Guys, what about the fact that Kovalev does not meet the requirements because of his weight? He even had to take off his underpants for weighing in order to pass the weigh-in the second time. I doubt that for the remaining days before the fight, the fighter will reduce his weight. For some reason, the Mexican side does not respond to this.

Kovalev made the weight bro but not after four attempts.
