Kovalev's manager: "Sergey is not a racist."

Hopefully Stevenson, Ward, or Hopkins are offended n decide to try to do something about it

the word negro is used all over the world as the literal translation for the color black.

what kovalev said is probably the russian version of that word. i find it hard to believe kovalev would do a sports interview to be racist.

classic example of pulling the race card at the wrong time.

On NSB it is only acceptable if your racists against African-Americans or those of African descent. You will not get banned and you will not get checked by other posters who are not African American. Those are the rules, it should not be a surprise. Kovalev could come out right now and say he wants to hang his next black opponent, and these cowards would say "it's ok, they hang black people in his country all the time". If you're black, you're the enemy.

More specifically, the context was the interviewer asking why Kovalev called a guy a "purebred nigger" (which even if you forgive the nigger part, the main insulting bit was implying there is something bad about being especially black) So keeping it in context, Kovalev constantly mentioning the color of these guys skin in his story was all about justifying in the insult.

Well kinda yeah - there is something to that - but if he'd called Grover 'A f#kkin Ginger C#nt' (assuming he was) - would that be a issue of contention?

It implies that Ginger people are somehow inferior - without the cultural context of the UK / US Slavery and persecution of blacks it becomes a similar thing...You're assuming the same level of cultural sensitivity where that is not the case at all.

Look, over 2 years ago a Russian boxer who no-one knows gets robbed of a KO victory potentially damaging his career. Calls guy who did it the equivalent of 'Black F#cker'. Story gets dragged up 2 years later and boxer naively displays fear of black guys with guns. That sound about right?

The man clearly states that he likes blacks less and less, they're inadequate, purebred n.ggers. And the posters we dialogue with everyday have no problem at all with it. "It's ok, it's only purebred n.ggers in his country".

B-Hop throws down the Puerto Rican Flag, foul.
Floyd say's he gonna cook Manny some sushi, foul.
Kovalev says blacks are inadequate, it's ok in his country.

If you're black, you're the enemy.

Classic example of you being a simplistic idiot. You and the rest of you cowards are deliberately ignoring the interview and simply focusing on his use of the word "negro" trying to justify it's universal popularity in the worlds lexicon. That isn't the issue you moron. The man went out of his way to call blacks inadequate and clearly say's that he does not like them. You chose to ignore that. You're choosing to be an imbecile right now.

How is it bigoted, google the word and see what it means. Saying he had a bad experience wth a certain group and it effects how he views them is not bigoted. No way, ********** getting mad screaming racism when someone doesn't like someone, what a surprise

There's nothing to defend, people who don't know Russian and are using literal translation and taking things out of context are crying racism

Well there's a reason the only ppl agreeing with u are imbeciles and the other bigots around here. Sure u have an opinion. Sure its clearly in the minority. But sure u continue to scream u are right. Stop waiting my time. If u think what he said isnt offensive then good for u.

Here's a comment from that other thread from a guy who I assume speaks Russian.


At 10:40 of the video, I hear him say nigger, not negro.

nobody says Negro omg. Its nyegr. Just like a country Niger or Nigeria (must have been racist) i'm sorry but our grand grand parents never had black people as ****** - so quit with this racist thing.
