kovalev message to stevenson?

[-Kev-]

This was all around ******. First of all it looks racist no matter what. Secondly if i'm not mistaken he involved his son in the controversial picture. Not a good look. Trash talking and insults are good for the entertainment of boxing outside of the ring, but once you bring racism in to it, it just looks sad.

I'm racist because I call a person a monkey who looks like a monkey with every race? That makes sense.

It's going to be perceived as racist and you damn well understand why. Stop playing dumb.

Pretty sure he meant ******s/Turks. They were under their thumb for centuries and shaped greece's cuisine, music, architecture.

Islam is a religion, Turk is an ethnicity. He either made a mistake and thought Turks are Arab or he just said the wrong thing.

And Greece's music, cuisine & architecture were not shaped by Turks. They have their own.

That's really disappointing. I'm not buying the whole cultural thing. The monkey comparison is universally a racist remark at this point around the world.

He's been living long enough in America that he should know better. Especially with two black trainers.

[LSKennedy]

They aren't really considered arab. Because they arent. Two vastly different cultures. Arabs are semitic. Turks are Turkish. Only thing they share is a common religion.

Turks' roots lie in central Asia. The Turkish language has no connection to any Semitic language. Correct.

There is a similarity....

Kovalev is a racist... If you have watched his interviews over the years, he has a great disdain for dark skins... The guy is mean inside and out of the ring... Still one of my favorite fighters to watch, but his actions and words over the years makes it clear he is a racist dude

And kova has no opponents left

Who is gonna fight?

Not sure if he's racist but here's previous thread about possible racism

And I don't think that's his son

[El-blanco]

when he say that?

Lol still looking for the article, it was on here a little while ago.

If you don't think dolomathes, spanakopita, gyros, etc. aren't shaped by the Turks then I don't know what to say lol. It's certainly their own versions of it but the influence is clear. And the music is un-debatable.
