I didn't see the fight as I'm into the subscription model yet. But it doesn't matter.
Sergey Kovalev, twice now, has called for rematches so he can avenge his losses. I had him beating Ward 7-5 the first time, he clearly lost the second time, but at least he TRIED.
Alvarez, he got sparked largely because he didn't show up in shape. Showed up in the rematch and got it done. He TRIED, and succeeded.
This is the mark of a warrior. An aging warrior, but a warrior nonetheless.
This is a guy people said was washed, done, needed to hang em up, Alvarez would spark him again, he drinks too much, Buddy McGirt would stop the fight and hug him "I love you too much baby", etc etc. None of that happened.
I'm sorry. And I'll keep saying it. It's about respect. This is a GLADIATOR sport. True fans need to demand that these fighters show up and avenge their in-the-books losses, or at least TRY. Don't run. Don't duck. And it's a damn shame people are not holding Manny Pacquiao to the same standard that they hold other fighters.
Manny Pacquiao is a straight up coward and his fans that make excuses about why he's ducking the Jeff Horn rematch are enablers to why he's lost so much respect in the mainstream.
