    I’m wondering the same thing. Something felt off about this whole thing.

    I agree Kovalev pulled back with his shots there, but it could be because he has lost his sharpness and firing hard made him vulnerable for counters

    Im sure the punch was legit, but that was probably the plan. I mean they cant fake the punches anymore with 100 cameras. The punch will have to be legit. Who knows. It just smells man. Smells bad.

    The KO aside, I’m seriously considering cancelling my subscription and not watching another DAZN card. The product overall is just lacking. Doesn’t excite me for the big fight and it’s just a Canelo nut licking fest.

    I know y’all feel the same way.

    Weird fight, really weird, but the KO looked legit to me.

    The KO shots were definitely legit, but I have to agree with the others, the seconds leading to them seem bit odd. It is as if Kovalev's concentration seemed to lapse completely

    LOL Canelo was up on two of the cards, the other was even at the time of the stoppage. Fucking hell.

    I've never seen anything like the level of protection and leverage this guy has in this sport ... it's wide open in plain sight

    It just feels weird that Canelo cannot KO the likes of Trout, Cotto, Golovkin, Chavez Jr, Jacobs, yet here he is at 175 blasting out Kovalev, albeit a faded one.

    I’m not sure I’m buying it.

    It could be that the judges saw just how little power Kovalev put behind his shots, which might explain the scores some

    Doesn't explain how the judges gave Canelo rounds for throwing nothing though.

    What makes me think it was fixed was that one round where Kov decided to actually fight and ended up walking canelo down the whole round. It was as if he wanted to at least show one round what the fight would really look like if it were legit.

    Disgusting.

    If Kovalev dropped Alvarez hard the commentary would have been "Canelo showed a lot of heart getting up from that knockdown. You have to take that into account so I had it an even round"

    I'd like to see which rounds they gave him exactly but yeah, six seems like a real stretch considering that 1-3 and 8-9 seemed like very clear rounds for Kovalev

    Kovalev lands a good shot on Canelo and Canelo counters with a sub par body shot and the commentator

    GREAT COUNTER to the body by Canelo!!!

    Pretty much the fight in a nutshell

    I don't think i'll watch another Canelo match. Nothing against Canelo as a boxer. He's a very solid fighter, but the corruption and accompanying propaganda is just too much for me to stomach.

    Canelo up on two cards was ridiculous. If it went the distance and he got the nod, yes the fix would have been in.

    With that said...

    The career Kovalev and GGG dick riders are having a tough go of it. Like it or not, Canelo is 3-0 against them. Kovalev did the same cupid shuffle tonight he did against Ward and the first Alvarez when they knocked him out.

    Motherfuckers saying Kovalev was paid or took a dive, GTFOH. Give Canelo credit for the KO, the cards, commentary and whatever else you want to bitch about was rendered null and void the second that right hand landed flush on Kovalev's chin.

    Was thinking the same. He is actually like you say a very good fighter, but I always end up feeling pissed off after watching one of his fights. Whether it's the blatant corruption or the constant ball-licking from commentators, it just annoys me now.

    I turned off DAZN and switched the only mildly less nauseating Brit stream but when I had it on they mentioned it but excused it as happening all the time
