Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev: I Was Tired After The Sixth Round

[MrBillion]

He was severely weight drained. Having to lose that 1/4 pounder at the weigh in severely hurt his chances.

Severely?!!! Man get on with that ****! He took a piss and made weight!

Again, I was being satirical about the few oz.
And the cure he said was a dump.
Which is also what he did regarding the fight.

Maybe Canelo stops being the king of weight stipulations and the “haters” won’t have much to say. A lot of us haters are on record saying he should get full credit if it was true that there was nothing extra in the contract about weight. It wasn’t true, it was a lie.

If you knew a lick about boxing at all you’d know that he held the IBF belt which also has next day rehydration/ weight stipulations. This is not a new thing for Kov. So please stop with the damn excuses, eat your crow and move along.

Did either fighter address the long wait to start. Going into the fight i thought itd have some affect on the older fighter. Not enough to sway the match but im curious if either acknowledged that.

[bojangles1987]

Kovalev's been tired after 6 rounds his entire career. At this point he doesn't have the power, reflexes, or punch resistance to cover up for it like he used to.

Kovalev didn’t have a problem with 175, he may or may not have had problems with 185 and 190...we will never know.

All of my Mexican friends would disagree with you as that's putting down your own country. Cheater, fighter of past their prime fighters and recipient of gift decisions isn't exactly what you think of when you think "best" but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But, yeah, let's act like he's fighting the best in every division. 😂
When was the last time CCC fought a great, prime fighter? Oh yeah, 2013, when he fought Mayweather and yeah, we all remember what happened. LMAO

Mayweather wasn't prime, he was 36 years old. There was a 13 year youth advantage for Canelo.

He also used to be 31 and had a full head of hair. The limit wasn’t there for no reason.

Also, what about the 190 limit? I don’t even know if it’s true but can’t believe anything that Canelo and his camp say since they have been lying since day one.

Retire now Kovalev. You already got 12 million dollar talent fee for a very good acting in a fixed fight...

Never thought I would see the day that boxing would take the backseat to MMA. UFC is definitely doing something right, props to Dana.
