Kovalev NO EXCUSES you lost fair and square stop being a cry baby

[Yaroslavkostrov]

I dont understand how a veteran of the game like Kovalev can overtrain when literally nothing changes for him physically. Its his weight class, fighting a smaller and physically weaker opponent.

Yes I know its the toughest fight of his life. That doesnt mean his training camp should be any different. He should do what he has always done IMHO.

He has told in the interview that he trained too much in the mountains. It is the typical mistake in the sport.

Corruption robbed Kovalev

Kovalev was the better FIGHTER thst night we all saw it. Ward getting away with dirty tactics and having the ref and judges steal that fight was a disgrace. Kov shoukd have mandated the rematch be in nyc or Russia because he isnt going to be able to win a decision in Wards home area. Vegas is 4 hour drive from Wards home. Such a joke of a fighter Ward is.

This guy has been spewing NOTHING BUT EXCUSES since his loss. It's really pathetic that he's not getting called out on it. He has never been a stamina freak and an 8 week camp won't change that.

Lmaaooo...

Pre Fight: I had the perfect camp, lotsa rounds in sparring, we have a perfect blueprint/game plan. This is the best version of me.

Post Fight: We overtrained, I was carrying an injury, I didn't have a good camp, torn rotator cuff, etc.

****, it's like the only dude I've ever seen admit he lost to the superior fighter in recent times is Anthony Crolla.

Everybody else has a pathetic excuse.

Was it the over-training or Ward's highly effective body attack that had you winded in those later rounds?

[HURTFEELINGS]

This is what happens when bullies get beat. They make excuses. "I trained too hard" but he acknowledged he slowed down, his coach noticed he slowed down or got tired, 3 judges approved by Kov's people, noticed he slowed down or, OR Andre figured him out and started doing way better.....SO ITS GOTTA BE "I got tired". Andre figured him out and bullied the bully, because if you notice, it was Kov initiating the clinches to avoid having to fight on the inside, which mentally admits to the other guy, youre not a tough as you talk, you just gave in to me. cause youre scared and are grabbing me to prevent getting that work. Cause now Kov has resorted to trying to use useless threats, taunts, but THEY know what the deal "really" is. Kov is gonna come so amped up trying to throw harder and is gonna get even more tired due to his lack of training. And Andre is gonna work him over late and get him outta there.
