Showing remorse for killing a man isn't being 'politically correct'

It's been years. There's only so much crying and apologizing you can do before it just becomes a part of your life. He killed a man in the ring. It's not like he was defenseless... This sport is brutal it happens. It's horrible but let the man live his life. He shouldn't have to pus syfoot around anytime he talks about him. I'm prettysure I've read or saw an interview where he addressed it and it's not as if he's heartless or didn't have feelings about it. Everyone deals with things differently. If he lets that fear take over then he's now on the other end of things trying to keep another man from killing him in the ring. Think of a soldier as well... I myself have no problem talking about military related things with certain people and it's real non chalant. It's in the past. Let the man live his life. How can he show remorse? It's not a fighter's job to protect his opponent. It's a slippery slope. Everyone deals with things differently

Crying and apologising? He's casually discussing the prospect of killing another man in the ring. And laughing about it.

Now I'm a fan of Kovalev's style, aggressive and relentless but for an individual who has taken someone's life in the ring he should have a more humbled outlook on the sport. Nigel Benn as said before, was haunted by what occurred against McClellan. Griffith was never the same after Parot, fearing what what could occur. Both story's well documented. It also goes for many other ATGs from the past.

I'm hoping it's his bad sarcasm but he should know better than what is probable to happen in the ring. One of my favorite quotes from A boxer was from Smokin' Joe Frazier saying "Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took, and you name in the undertaker book"......... That is the best description of boxing, and sadly true.

Both of these are very well received documentaries.

its really ironic how he doesn't mind killing someone in the ring, but comes across as so apologetic through incidental headbutts and low blows. kind of reminds me of how old manny used to be a savage and go for the ko but refused to engage in dirty tactics.

Pascal is my dude and all but this is not going to end well for him. Sergey is clearly Soviet to the core and you just can't go into a fight with vs. a guy like that with his game plan.

I would be very surprised if Pascal has any more fights in his career after this fight. I think that Sergey is going to molly whoop him inside of 4 rounds.

I never knew he killed a man in the ring. But yes, Kova is ice cold. Laughing about killing an innocent boxer. Russians are known for being heartless and emotionless. LOL, kova is a killer.

Man, even in the video once the boxer is koed and carried out on a stretcher. Kova and the Russian audience is laughing and mocking a dying man carried out on a stretcher.

Well almost everyone of his last oppenents since cleverly has mentioned that kovalev has killed a boxer and tried to get in kovalevs head.
he did not like people mentioning that but now he seems cool with it.
so many idiots often mention this to kovalev like a joke: killa kovalev.
kovalev did give all his purse in his next fight to the dead boxers parents.

Also that ****** mofo pascal has shown zero respect for kovalev, before the first fight he was talking a lot of trash and was up in kovalevs face.
he tried to get people to belive kovalev was using peds and tarnush kovalevs name and rep, while himself is getting trained by pedking memo heredia, also pascal was the one refusing to take drugtest from the most respected in sports testing wada.

noe after getting beat by kovalev in his home town after all the trash talk and getting saved from the ref, pascal goes on a long racist rant about kovalev, again trying to tarnish kovalevs rep.
kovalev said it was like punch under the belt line.
I fully understand kovalevs anger against pascal, pascal is a ignorant guy with no self insight.
kovalev is a guy that belives in honor and loyalty and does not take kind on people disrespecting him or his team/friends.
his not a trash talker and deserves huge resoect for the way he has come up in boxing to be world champ.
very entertaining boxer

The thing is we have evolved to eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. Thats what we are wired for. Civilization is just a code of rules to try to make people get along resonably, rules that we tell children in school and to comfort people. In real life when people get into situations like war or conflict the fight or flight reflex kicks in, and you act. Also when you are in a position of power above the rules primal nature can come forth. We have bankers who let their animal greed run wild and politicans that don't loose any sleep about issueing orders that will kill thousands or milions of innocents. This is acceptable or even praised because they talk about it in a "civilized" way... Then we have a guy who puts his health on the line and fights another trained fighter but when this guy is honest about the animal part of his nature, the drive to kill or be killed then people get upset... Kovalev may have more of thoose instincsts then some but he is not different then any other man in his basic nature. He is just better at inflicting harm and honest about it.
