Kovalev in his last 3 fights (including Canelo’s) turned it up impressively after the second half. It seemed like Kovalev figured out Canelo after the 7th, and from the 10th onward Canelo’s frustration got him angrier. It was also nice to see how Kovalev’s weight in clinching or pushing forward clearly showed how Sergey could’ve imposed his weight earlier in the fight.
The problem is that the bigger the opponents the better of a punching bag they are for Canelo. Never seen Canelo throw such haymakers with hooks and body work except for gym workouts on the heavy bag.
Therefore, as much as Bivol’s work rate and speed would be impressive against Canelo, Bivol’s still not bigger than Sergey. Therefore it would be easier for Canelo to whale shots and rattle him around.
This only leaves Beterbiev as the true test to put Canelo in the WARZONE. Canelo would have to double his work rate that he did against Kovalev and be on his best defense.
Should Canelo secure a win against Beterbiev he is an ATG!
