Kovalev: Those of you who put money on me beating Canelo, you're a bunch of ignorants

I agree, Kovalev only has 1 loss out of 4. Jesus Christ this site Dont get your panties in a bunch shirley. Didnt he almost win the fight. I mean if it woulda went the distance it was close & we were getting close to the finish line. So that being the case this sounds like some weird bad loser sh^t to me or excuse making & anger about losing. Kov is an odd dude & a bad loser for such a high level cat whos had a HOF caliber career. He was going to beat Canelo on points?

Canelo is VERY difficult to beat in Vegas And he's impossible to beat when he's knocking people the hell out. Sadly he threw this fight, he wasn't even punching with power he just kept touch jabbing and then the ko he pretended to get put to sleep kovalev is a great actor. :haha::haha:

PRIDE brings the STUPID out of people but Odds Makers love taking their money :lol1:

Kovalev is always crying about being overtrained

Prime Kovalev still would have lost to this version of Canelo. Nelo has a great chin and the Krusher has never liked it to the body. I agree 100%. He made this version of Kovalev look like a total amateur. Pitty pat jabs afraid to commit to power shots for fear of being countered, same happened to GGG. If a younger Kovalev had been more aggressive and actually loaded up his shots I feel he would have gotten knocked out even sooner. People fail to see what's in front of their eyes, p4p #1 fighter, champion in multiple divisions at once, Canelo is an all time great. Some credible journalists like Kevin Iole are starting to see that now, the haters never will.

kov is full of excuses.. didnt he say he prefer to fight like this and not rest for too long in between fights.... Of course he said that. What did you think he would say before the fight?

Did you actually watch and understand the video, or are you talking crap after just reading the title? I know your a huge fan of his but that is how I feel The groundwork was laid out even before the fughin Yarde fight , so for him coming out like that is just fughin ludicrous He knew all this chit before he signed the contract Might as well just come out and say this was a money grab and that’s it Instead he gave false hopes to his fans only to come out after and excuses excuses So , now do you still believe your conspiracy thoughts The guy is fughin done but as long as he can fool fans like yourself ( worse of all then comes out and states it ) and take you for another spin , oh well This like a thief who robs the bank , then needs to come out to the media and explain how he did it

Excuses excuses. Kov signed for this fight while he was preparing for Yarde, so he knew what he was up against in terms of time to prepare. He also has a very experienced coach who could have walked him through it if he was predisposed to listen. Ruiz took his fight against Joshua on short notice as well, coming off of another fight, and smoked him. Not true. Even a couple of weeks after the Yarde fight there still were "talks". Canelo's team waited till the last possible moment.

I can’t believe this guy still has fans after making statements like this Just a pos of a man Deserves everything that has and will happen to him How can you fughin be a fan of this waste of skin

Didnt he almost win the fight. I mean if it woulda went the distance it was close & we were getting close to the finish line. So that being the case this sounds like some weird bad loser sh^t to me or excuse making & anger about losing. Kov is an odd dude & a bad loser for such a high level cat whos had a HOF caliber career. I don't like Kovalev in general, and do think he's a bad loser in some ways. He's the cause of some of his own problems. But to be fair, I can't blame him for a lot of sht that's happened to him. He was having himself a really nice career, even though he was lax about training (his own fault). Then comes the Ward fight, where he does extremely well then Fs up by humoring Ward and fighting inside. As a result, he gets robbed on the cards. Dude is annoyed, thinks he's better than Ward and wants to prove it. Ward plays with his head by not agreeing to the rematch, Kovalev gives up his half of the money (which was stupid AF). Then Ward's camp plays all those games with his head - with that James Prince (or whatever) threatening his family, causing a rift between Kov and his coach. Kov comes into the rematch completely unprepared and gasses in the 3rd round. He gets hit in the nuts throughout the fight, Ward gets warned twice, then the ref changes his tune and calls the shots legal. Fight gets stopped on lowblows. Kov goes off the deep end.. comes back, boxes OK, then gets caught by Alvarez who he underestimates and KOd. Here, he pretty much knows his career is done. Comes back.. outboxes Alvarez, takes a tuneup, gets screwed around by Yarde when he goes through 2 camps.. then gets an offer from Canelo to cash out. I do not think Canelo fight was fixed in any shape or form. But I do think that Kovalev is 100% right in his assessment. They gave him no time to recuperate after Yarde. (they = not blaming Canelo, but both him and DAZN) I don't think he planned on getting KOd, but I do believe him when he says he expected to lose with all the odds stacked against him. Canelo is VERY difficult to beat in Vegas. Those scorecards at the time of the stoppage were pretty bad. Kovalev didn't even seem surprised about the loss. He just kinda shrugged it off and said "good for him he won". In short, I think his bad habits, experiences with Ward, then shocking loss to Storm have put him into severe depression in regards to boxing. If the fight against Canelo wasn't a complete cash out, I'd be shocked if we ever saw him fight on world stage again unless there's significant money involved. My guess is he takes 1 easy fight (outside top20) and retires on a "high note".

He's not saying he didn't know... he's saying that he signed the fight for the money. Fair enough...most fighters would take the fight for money like that. But then by saying it, Kov expects us to assume 1. If he had more time, he would have beat Canelo 2. If had more time, he would have had a different strategy and would beat Canelo...If only... At the end of the day, it amounts to excuses and casting doubt on Canelo's performance. I'm glad that future generations would just see the L and the W for Canelo, and this nonsense would go away.

Prime Kovalev still would have lost to this version of Canelo. Nelo has a great chin and the Krusher has never liked it to the body. lol...........

I guess he's just saying what a lot of people were saying when the fight was signed. That kind of money for a guy at his stage in his career is too good to turn down though.

I'm just going to say what I said at the time of the fight... It's prize fighting. If he made a lot of money, did he lose?

Circumstances didn’t matter, he was losing this fight because he can’t take a punch cleanly anymore and I said that on here but folks need to make the narrative favorable to their fandom so they pollute this site with bullchit like “I’m worried for Canelo in this fight” worried about what? A gun shy boxer who now fights at a distance exclusively behind the jab because he’s scared to get hit and wobbled..

If that’s what he said he’s only saying what most knowledgeable fans were saying before hand and why the odds were what they were. Canelo a-sided Kovalev and only the blindest of Canelo’s groupies either can’t see or won’t admit this truth.

Ok what did he say then or lemme guess ur full of sh(t He said Mexican food is the best food in the world

Really *****ed because he did well to avenge the loss to E. Alvarez the way he did and beat a younger contender type in Yarde...he had come back from a lot and now all that will be washed away. He'll never get the proper credit for outboxing Ward in the first fight and then avenging the KO loss to E. Alvarez, no small feats imo. Team Canelo took advantage of the situation, but all the variables going against Kov were well known beforehand, there weren't any secrets about that(except maybe the rehydration limit)....it was always a Weekend at Bernie's situation...Duva, Oscar, the lawyer for the women who are suing him would have carried him to the ring to make sure he made that fight. I mean, you saw him before the fight...when nobody was around to prop him up, he was laid out lifeless on the couch.
