Just a thought gents. When Canelo fought GGG the first time, GGG probably wasn't the fighter he was a year or two before. I think Jacobs maybe exposed him a little in their bout when it went to points. GGG was a month off 35 at the time. At this stage, people were starting to wonder if GGG was the man he once was. 6 months later he lost a split decision to Canelo. So my question is. If Canelo had so much trouble in winning his two fights, buy split and majority decisions, (against maybe a fading star) can a fading Light Heavyweight star with some pop left, as well as a heap of height and reach advantage, have a much better chance that the bookies think?

Can certainly see your angle Cyc and it’s perfectly reasonable, but I think the overarching feeling is that Kovalev isn’t the same fighter he once was.

Yarde had him in some serious trouble and we know he doesn’t like body shots- I think he will get worn down.
