By all acounts Kov is a POS, which usually I'm a fan of but for reason don't like Kov
I've said it for the last couple years , I don't know why he wasn't marketed as the anti-American Russian bad guy. It's probably raise his profile and it's not really a stretch instead Duva does her best to pretend like he's thus good guy.
Kov gets props from me for always going to dudes backyards and beating the sh.it out of them but hope Wards beats that a$$ on Nov 19th
This is not atypical of how alot of boxers came up. GGG and his brother used to pick strangers at random to beat up and rob when he was growing up. Pacquiao was a common thief and drug addict before he got into boxing...i always laugh at boxing fans who create this idealistic image in their head of guys who dole out brain damage to other human beings for a paycheck
Boxing is a sport which has both historically & contemporarily, attracted folks from the lower end of the socio-economic strata, people that had no other outlets in life but the fight game...when you come from the type of enviroments that alot of these guys come from, where there aren't alot of resources, infrastructure, basic ammenities and economic oppurtunities...enviroments like these foster a savage, cutthroat, dog-eat-dog approach to life in order to sustain yourself ...this is the makeup of a large majority of participants in the fight game...
Like Larry Holmes once said...in order to step in that ring in participate in a sport like boxing, and actually be good at it...you have to be ***'d up in the head at some level.
Americans don't have no idea what it's like growing up like this. That childhood can make you mentally ****ed up. And you don't know what will happen tommorrow. I've seen all these American movies, everybody got cars and all that, they just can't relate to this
I know what he went through, because it was 90's and that period of time couldn't be worse. **** 90's, everything was completely ****ed up at that time
But on the other hand, that period of time was producing real men with strong mentality and moral values, and right now everybody started living too comfortable and this period of time producing nothing but pussified office workers
