Ward is Kovalev's father

Ward is Kovalev's father

Indeed, and Kovalev sent his father off to a retirement home...

I like this one?... And what was next?... Did the Russian fell to sleep?... I don't recall... Show me...

I'll show you but i can't find the video right now. Just like Kov couldn't find his heart that night

I took it that Sergey Kovalev was actually bringing some levity to the situation and making a joke.

IMO, Sergey sounded clearer and in a better place than at any time he was interviewed leading up to rematch with Andre Ward.

Oh yeah, it's unfortunate that it had nothing to do with your fists hitting him as you pictured though

Know I'll probably regret the few minutes of life I'm wasting typing this. But outta curiosity, has it ever crossed you Kovalevaholics minds that had Sergey not cried wolf so many times on legal blows and not tried to BS himself into breaks when he was hurt from legal shots, maybe he gets a little more help from Weeks on borderline shots? The sequence before the right hand that put Kovalev on ***** Street is a prime example. Kovalev was hit with two legal body shots that doubled him over. He complained, and Weeks wasn't having it anymore. And from Weeks body language you could tell he was tired of Kovalev's crying and complaining. And on the sequence that ultimately ended the fight. I think the final two blows were low. But you Kovalevaholics conveniently forget that Sergey was getting the piss beat outta him and stumbling around the ring. And was once again doubled over, and sat on the middle rope from a legal shot, before the final two. Weeks had a beaten fighter in front of him and protected him. Not to mention. Technically, Kovalev took an illegal position by sitting on the middle rope. Its the equivalent of getting punched in the nutz while you're forcing your opponent's head down. Kovalev forced Ward to hit him low because he bent over below Ward's waist, which is illegal. Is Ward not allowed to attack the body simply because Kovalev is cheating?

I think you're accurate here in that Weeks was tired of it and if Kovalev had not complained so much then he may have more help from Weeks in regard to the actual couple low blows that were landed. Kind of strange to note is that with a nickname like "Krusher" is that you would expect him to actually retaliate tot he low blows by throwing some of his own.

The thing that does stick out that is actually very dis*****g is that it's pretty clear that what Virgil Hunter and Andre Ward said about JDJ calling them and telling them about Sergey is probably true and if that's the case, then not one fighter should ever work with the guy again.
