Respect to Kovalev

[fourtheboys96]

It is a loss. But let;s not overlook the fact that Kovalev was actually winning decisively before that KO.
It wasnt Pac-Barrera I unexpected domination.

Kova deserves respect but he's not the fighter he once was, his chin is gone, took too many shots in his career.

and no one seems to think that he was caught and did not try to survive the round by holding, which would have been the smart thing to do at the time, he kept trying to fight.

He was ahead on all cards.

First real loss he’s had in my opinion.

I've always like Kovalev as a fighter. I never liked the racist comments he made. I thought Ward beat him both times but the first fight was razor thin. I had a feeling Alvarez was going to be a tough fight but I thought Kovalev would pull it off especially with the 14 month layoff. I'm wasn't glad to see him lose but this is what boxing is all about.

last time I am explaining this:

The word he used is used in Russia even to call kids, nothing racist about it.

Yeah, I'm not buying it. He talked about beating up black people on the streets in Russia when he fought Sillakh. He had the banana photo aimed at Stevenson. I don't need an interpreter to to tell me he has some racist tendencies.

I don't see the Bivol or Beterbiev fights ever happening now which is a shame

Um no he was’t winning that fight decisively. It was a close fight and yes he had taken the momentum but Alvarez upped up his attack and took over.

Somebody has to lose and it’s a sad thing. Alvarez had a lot riding on that fight too, maybe more.
I hope Kovalev has been smart with his money

Respect to K as a fighter. He is a very good fighter and you don’t beat him without being good.

I feel he just got beat by maybe the best fighter he has faced ever at 175lbs. That isn’t to say Alvarez is the best P4P fighter.

K is always dangerous with his power. His power in my opinion is what won him the first Ward fight (in my book which is the only one I count).
