Canelo v Kovalev: Four to Explore, Keys to Victory, Official Prediction

November 3, 2019November 2, 2019 by Vivek Wallace

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Sergey Kovalev - When the bell rings tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada, the fight world will witness a scrap that could very well go down as the Fight of the Year.

Tonight's showdown is intriguing in the sense that it pairs the arguably the best fighter in the sport, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KO's) taking on one of the sports greatest punchers, Sergey Kovalev (34-3-1, 29 KO's).

Errol Spence: Proof That “The Truth” is Absolute

August 30, 2019 by Vivek Wallace

Errol Spence - As the career of Floyd Mayweather Jr. slowly came to a close, the collective attention of the sport shifted. From an emerging group of young heavyweights to a crop of offensively gifted lightweights, suddenly, a quest to be labeled the best had ensued. As with all things in life, time has a way of revealing answers that often go missing to the naked eye. Several talents deemed to be elite were proven incomplete. From Andy Ruiz's stunning upset of Anthony Joshua to Manny Pacquiao's incredible effort over Keith Thurman, few of these careers evolved the way we believed they would.
