You must be that guy with eyeballs on his navel. Try rewatching Kovalev-Ward II without your shirt on, so you can actually see what happens, and you'll agree with every other non-biased observer that the fight was stopped on an illegal foul, hitting well below the navel.

Just more facts. Why do you keep wasting people's time posting alternative facts? All it does it waste people's time posting the real facts in response. Why not just skip the bull**** and start looking up the facts for yourself for once before posting? Would save everyone a lot of time and dumb arguing.

Kovalev was faking low blows during the fight from shots that landed on the navel. That's a fact. The guy wanted out. He already admitted defeat in that fight. DEAL WITH IT.

So they offered him less than when he fought Ward, for no title, and a rematch clause in there that he'd make the same money on? I see why he turned it down

$400k is good money for a fighter of Barrera's stature. This isn't the first time Barrera has turned a fight down. He is more bark than bite. I doubt that his next three purses total higher than $400k unless he changes his mind on facing Kovalev

Shame, it would of been an interesting one.
Barrera seems to be chasing a big fight, surprised he didn't take it.

Why does it seem like they are always hating on Lomachenko, Golovkin, and Kovalev specifically, and no matter how many top boxers they continue to fight, over and over, more than practically any other boxers in the sport, it's still never good enough?

Cause these fighters are not black/latin

Bull**** offer. Kovalev wanted a rematch clause and Barrera wouldn't even get a pay bump in the rematch.
