Canelo vs Kovalev Stats, Facts & Fight PursesCanelo vs Kovalev Stats, Facts & Fight Purses

Post Fight
- Canelo was defensive early on, blocking punches and pressuring but not punching a lot.
- Alvarez countering to the body often; Kovalev busier but not sitting on his shots.
- Kovalev, as expected, using hit and move boxing tactics, abandoning his Krusher persona. Jab, jab, jab.
- In the first 6 rounds, 90 percent of the fight was fought at a distance
- Canelo stalked throughout with his guard high
- Alvarez looked frustrated in Round 8, backtracking, eating shots and missing haymakers
- Not a terribly exciting fight
- Canelo missed a lot more than we're accustomed to seeing
- Kovalev reluctant to release power right hands because he got tagged with hard counters when he did.
- Kovalev on his bicycle, moving
- AND BOOM! Canelo explodes with a sick combination and it's over. Kovalev is down and the ref didn't even bother finishing the count. Kovalev's body went limp.
Pre-Fight
- We see something: Did Canelo & Co, in Sergey's bouts with Ward and Eleider Alvarez, see something in Kovalev they believe they can expose?
- Weight: At what weight would Canelo come in? 168.5? Should it happen next, Alvarez will have fought 2 of his last 3 fights in divisions north of middleweight. Will this impact Canelo's ability to make 160 in order to defend his middleweight titles post Canelo vs Kovalev?
- Nothing to lose/ Stock: Would a loss damage Canelo's stock? Consensus says there would be no shame in Canelo, a naturally much smaller fighter, losing to a much larger, well-respected champion.
- Best option / Risk vs reward: Does Team Canelo believe the slower, heavier Kovalev would be an easier opponent than GGG or Andrade?
  
  Although Canelo was awarded the decision in his rematch with Golovkin, many insist GGG is unofficially 2-0 vs Canelo. Thus, GGG would be a very dangerous opponent. And given Canelo is the consensus middleweight champion and his stock is sky high, not much would be gained from defeating GGG.
  
  And Andrade, with his height, reach and speed, might be too much risk for the reward as he's relatively unknown to casual fans.
  
  Why Sergey?
  Kovalev has name recognition, a light heavyweight title and, perhaps, a few shortcomings the quicker Canelo could expose. Moreover, a Canelo loss to Kovalev wouldn't be nearly as damaging to the former's stock than would be a loss at middleweight to Golovkin or Andrade.
Four Division Champ: Canelo Alvarez, should this fight take place, will seek to earn a world title in a 4th weight class
