What award did Kovalev receive? The Fighter feared most by Andre Ward Award?

I met Kovalev at the gym a while back...he is a very humble person and easy to talk to. However, when he is sparring, he is a complete different animal. He was sparring heavyweights and a cruiserweight. His power is tremendous but his skills and movement are also on point. Kovalev deserves all the recognition and not so much GGG.

Holy **** that was worse than Cotto Promotions press conference inside of a Cinnabon! There are like three random bystanders there haha!!! They have some kid from a local high-school doing an interview wearing his backpack lol

What has this guy done to deserve a day honored after him?

People act like he's some humble and classy champion. I guess people just turn a blind eye to him calling fellow champions like Adonis Stevenson "a POS".

Or when he laughed and mocked Jean Pascal for being on rubbery legs...

So classy.

But let Adrien Broner simply dance his way to the ring and he's considered ****** trash and classless.

LOL @ the double standards.

LOL @ Cinnabon.

I'll be hearing soon that Kov is the A SIDE and everyone else is B SIDE.

That's McCarran Airport they're in. I guess this was their welcome for him.

Fans really overwhelmed him.

Seriously though this may have hurt his feelings more than not having a welcoming party

It's the promoter's welcome for him lol. I think it's one of those sweetener things Main Events do for him, like the rings they got him last year.

Kovalev's not going to get ambushed by fans anywhere in the US, and I suspect that's the way the edgy fcuker would prefer it.
