Calling it, Most Likely Outcome in Canelo vs Kovalev

[johnbook]

Note that i posted this several hours before the fight:

To get Oscar's money, the terms were Kov is not to throw hard, or other way of fixing it. See below..

Like I've pointed out that in their fight, JCC Jr only threw hard to Clenelo when the latter had both hands to his face.

Oscar would never let this cash cow risk it. [And there's deeper reasons why boxing is so fixed.

There are so many ways to fix a fight.

Fake or diminished offense
Ref allows dirty tactics
Corrupt judges--need 2.
Corrupt ref, many possibilities including early stoppage
Allow PEDS or other illegal things
Not allow legitimate Rx
Fake injury during fight
Other?

What else?

Re-hydration clause, you know clenela juiced up for this one, etc. The judges are already bought off, ref too.

Clenela wide UD is most likely outcome. If the cheater gets busted up and outboxed, it'll be a close decision for clenela. If Kov drops the cheater once or twice, it'll be a draw.

Dunno why y'all're even boxing fans

Good one. I left that out.

Yeah Oscar knows when to put it in and when to leave it out. [Clause not utensils.]

Recall the Khan fight?
Bad enough Amir was moving up, I think that one had no rehydrate clause. Oscar served him up good to Clenelo, must have outweighed him by 30 lb.

Gawd do you miss the point. It's because we are fans that we find all the fixing etc to be repulsive.
Those who aren't repulsed are either blind or part of the fix in one way or another.

Kovalev keeps Canelo at the end of his jab, every time Canelo works his way in Kovalev puts his weight on top of his neck, after a few rounds Canelo realizes he was in over his head.

I don’t believe for a second that Kovalev has been paid or would accept money to not give his best effort tonight.

Not so sure about other factors that might affect the outcome.

All boxing, all current, present boxing, should always be taken with a grain of salt.

You should never just believe boxing. You don't get to know the fix until after the dudes have retired and write their books.

Boxing invented WWE. Boxing always has fixes in every era. To believe this era is the era of clean fighting is really, really, ****ing silly.

What's also really, really silly is trying to detective the fixes from the reals while they're happening. The **** is the point? You are almost guaranteed to have missed most, not some, not a few, ****ing most fixes.

Some folks say AJ losing was too perfect for his narrative to be true.

Some folks claim like half of Wilder's fights is fixed, the Draw was predetermined, Scott KO was a deal between friends, etc.


Folks is gonna see or not see what they want to. Boxing fans ought to enjoy the show anyway.


Because you don't giva **** who Jem Ward is presently you should not give a **** if Canelo ia Jem Ward today. You should just enjoy the show and wait for the book.
