      same story with him over and over again.... guy is 35 it is what it is

        I think he has peaked and is on the decline.

          I know the HBO translator is usually terrible but I remember one round the coach said..
          "Yeah you're doing good baby just keep doing well, and when you punch try to punch hard"
          I really PRAY that was a screwed up translation!

              Kovalev needs way more than a new trainer, my friend....maybe start by begging his Father, Andre Ward, to give him his Heart and Soul back...

              I've never seen such a "feared" fighter get turned into such a p*ssy in this manner before....the guy tapped his ACTUAL nuts crying to the ref last night 100% more times than Ward hit him there...

                Nah, he was great, but he got old, picked up some bad vices and declined. It's called life.

                    He's on the down slide it appears. It seems if you take him into deep waters he'll drown.

                      Nah, he should retire. He had a really good career. Stood toe to toe with one of the best P4P fighters of the generation in Ward (still think Kov won that first fight 7-5) and made good money
