Saul “Canelo” Alvarez - Former 175-lb champion Badou Jack says last Saturday's fight between WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev and Saul Canelo Alvarez was "boring" and he thinks it almost looked like a "fixed" fight. Jack is obviously talking about how Kovalev (34-4-1, 29 KOs) didn't attack Canelo Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs) with aggression, and he wasn't throwing punches with power in the fight. Kovalev looked like he was fighting at half speed the entire fight.

November 3, 2019November 2, 2019 by Vivek Wallace

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez - 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.
