Like you guys I had Kovalev ahead going into the 11th round but predictably two of the judges had Canelo ahead and the other had them level:

I guess this fight panned out like many predicted with Canelo using his counter punching ability to eventually wear down and stop Kovalev. Canelo showed in his fights against GGG that he has a great chin, and even though he had Kovalev's jab in his face all night it didn't really seem to bother him. Although he was non-committal about his future immediately after the fight I just can't see Canelo hanging around at 175 pounds to face the likes of Beterbiev or Bivol. As for Kovalev, he got a good pay day out of this fight and it has to be time for him to hang up the gloves.
