What the actual fuck.
Kovalev is pretty much done as a top talent, but this is kinda sad. I'm sure he was just wanting to hang with fans/promote DAZN, or whatever, but you can't do that shit unilaterally.
If THIS is what takes Kova down, it'd be kinda sad TBH.
Didn't realize he beat up a chick a few years back. Been a rough couple years it seems.
Don't know why anybody cares.
That may be the first time anyone's described losing to Andre like that.Steadily downhill since he caught Ward's hands

Edit: Not talking shit btw I liked Ward and I appreciate what he did in there. At the time I felt he was way more of a crafty/workman fighter than even the Eurofighters he finished his career against but he was an exceptional athlete upon rewatching some of his highlights.
He also wasn't fighting scared like a lot of lead hand dominant fighters do
For the chick, yeah!?Didn't realize he beat up a chick a few years back. Been a rough couple years it seems.
I don't think you should discount getting old in your equation. That shit will fuck with you.I think it was more mental than anything. It started with the controversial decision in the first fight and Kovalev didn't take it very well. In the rematch for whatever reason Kova agreed to fight for a guaranteed purse of zero dollars and only take PPV revenue which Ward didn't do much in the way of promoting that fight so there wasn't much interest in the rematch, during the fight Kova was used to being the bully in fights but that wasn't working. Ward hurt Kova before the stoppage and again he didn't take the loss very well. For a time he maintained Ward was afraid of him. not long after Kova took another KO loss against another man not known for his power.
Pretty sure it happened more than once. He also assaulted some woman in a bar after she refused his advances, broke her jaw if memory serves.Didn't realize he beat up a chick a few years back. Been a rough couple years it seems.
Close fight not a robbery. The dude deserves no sympathy.Dude got screwed out of a legendary win, fuck those biased nationalistic judges. He never recovered mentally after that and it seems every single bad thing that happens to him after that can’t be his fault according to him.
Had shit to say about the second fight to ward, same after the canelo fight, etc.
An alcoholic Russian? Ridiculous.He's a raging alcoholic and it seems it got the better of him the last several years.
