Comments Thread For: Kovalev Would've Retired Had He Lost To Yarde

Yeah, Kovalev was about to retire if he lost to Yarde.
Anybody else think the greedy russian will retire if he lost to Canelo?

Kovalev's definitely sounding like a fighter who's feeling the affects of aging, but still loves the sport. If he loses, or even struggles to win against someone who's naturally a stone lighter and half a foot shorter - no matter how good a fighter he may be - I see him hanging up his gloves.

I don't care is he is cashing out. He has had a good career and deserves the payday. Its a good fight. Kovalev has vulnerabilities but he is still a good boxer with power and a great jab. Canelo is in his prime, is talented, and has a high ring iq but is the naturally smaller fighter. Damn good fight.
