Comments Thread For: Kovalev Charged With Felony Assault, Allegedly Punched Woman

[Real King Kong]

How do you know they're innocent? Because they say so?

how do you know they're guilty? many people have been exonerated after the fact. in the vast majority of cases, guilt is never proven. you said "the vast majority are found guilty"...you're wrong. if the state was so convinced someone was guilty of a specific charge, why would they let them plea to something significantly lesser? the american justice system is in shambles my friend...let's not assume that everyone brought up on charges receives due process or that the case against them is even particularly strong.

Let’s see how many of his fans still like the woman beater or if they stay true to what they’ve posted before.

Alvarez will put a brutal end to his career. I seriously think Kov will go into depression if hes not already.

A broken nose and a displaced disc is not a concussion. Your comment is ridiculous.

Did you read the article?

We're told the woman claims she suffered major injuries including a severely broken nose, a concussion and a displaced disk in her neck.

yer, my comment is welcome to the ignore list, considering i never actually see you talk boxing and all you do is race bait.

Yeah. You need a safespace.

They let them plea to something lesser to save money, they don't have to pay for a trial that way.

Still it took the state 9 months. Is that really the norm? Seems like a very long time for a case that looks quite simple.

It didn't take them 9 months. He'd already bern arraigned. TMZ is just noww finding out about it. That's the way I'm reading the story. I'll check the date of his arraignment

Ok I found it. He was arraigned last August. Like I was telling Rexy, Kovalev isn't that well known outside of boxing. Somebody probably called TMZ and told them and they probably didn't know who he was until they googled him.

Sergey Kovalev was charged in Aug. 2018 with assault likely to cause great bodily injury, according to California court records. Kovalev's rematch with Eleider Alvarez for the WBO's light heavyweight belt is scheduled to headline the Feb. 2 card in Frisco.

I did. That's why I think you're being ridiculous when you say she wouldn't have been capable of calling 911. He didn't kill her or put her in a coma.

He's lucky she didn't die.
