@@floydmayweathergoat4370 Canelo will be a solid 175 pounder fight night. Officially, he is a middleweight, but these fighters climb up the ring 15 -20 pounds heavier. Kovalev, if there is no re-hydration clause, should be close to 200 lbs fight night. Kovalev is definitively NOT in his prime anymore but he ain't no Rocky Fielding. He knows how to move and stick that jab. Canelo will have to move fast to target, slip, and hit the midsection the way he did against Golovkin but risking getting caught by a right cross.

You guys know what clenbuterol is?

[@JawnWick86]

@@Ej82Eghatch clen is a substitute for anabolic steroids, helps cut fat really fast on top of increasing muscle mass/density at a rapid rate. A lot of ppl that cycle on and off of steroids use clen during off periods of steroids try minimize the chances of it showing up when testing for steroids without losing what you gain physically from steroids. I go to the gym pretty often and have known ppl that used gear and used clen on off cycles. I love how ppl keep running with the "clen isn't steroids" but it's a PED so it's already banned. Nobody is taking clen just to take clen, it's 9/10 used when the person is already on roids.

Boxing's a great sport. I absolutely love the fight game, but - its the most racially driven sport in the world. What other sport promotes its athletes by ethnicity/heritage to the level of boxing?
