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.
