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

[Boxing Goat]

Yup, it was a bought win and the fix was in. Kovalev never talks like that. I fkn hate this bullsh@t. He tried NOT to hurt Canelo and knew all along that all he had to do was keep Canelo on his feet for 12 rds. and it didn't matter if he was out boxing him or not. I'm glad he wound up getting ktfo trying to coast.

Kovalev was tired after watching the UFC main event before the fight.

I never seen 2 fighters Pat each other on the gloves and Pat each other on the body so much during the fight. They hit each other's gloves at the end of every round like they were guaranteeing the deal they worked out.. I have watched most of Kovalev's fights and I never seen him on the back foot not trying to hurt his opponent like this past Saturday. The whole thing looked fake

[KING MEAT]

How on earth one can be tired at the sixth round when it Kovalev was barely putting any form of energy in his punches? Kovalev got his 2nd win at the 9th round to KO Yarde in the tenth after throwing huge right hands at the young fighter while also taking 130+ punches from a 90% KO ratio LWH to KO him with a jab, and all of a sudden you're dead tired at 6th?

what a sellout.

lol kovalev was punching like he was sparring his daughter.

Oh for fuck's sake, just retire already.

He's abused his body over the years and hasn't taken training all that seriously, which led to his demise.

I'm just sick of the pitty-pat punching, soft hooks, and ugly foot movement...it's tiring already.

Nowadays, he fights to not get knocked out and he also fights to not get tired. It's old and played out.

He's had his run and got paid beautifully for this fight...it's time to hang em up before he seriously gets himself hurt in there.

And enough with the excuses.

There was 1 morning weigh in for a fight taking place late as can be. Pathetic excuse,no surprise haters spreading made up bs about"clauses" there was 1 2nd morning weigh in,its utter ******ity being spread that there was another weigh in. The hate is real as it gets for the smallest mw champ by far

Neither kov or Canelo could weight more than 185 morning of the fight so if they have to weight 175 first then 185 there are two weigh-in yes so stfu Canelo has a weight clause he’s a ***in cheating little pussie

Wow.... U really bringing up old fights from 100 years ago.

Question would Canelo or literally anybody take a fight this soon after almost getting knocked out??

Stop it..... U just brought up some dumb shyt that nobody does....Literally Nobody. Guys fought 15 rounds and unlimted rounds with diffrent gloves.

This aint the 40s... Why u expect Sergey to magically become a 1940s fighter while the star boxer Canelo have a full training camp and after a fight he took barely any damage in???

Stop it....

So your acting like a fight is unfair unless the other fighter has at least 3-4 mos & as if nobody does that anymore..etc.etc.etc. yet it was Kovalevs exact quote way before the fight was signed where he says"I fight much better with like 2 mos between fights so I don't balloon up then have to make weight again,I told my promoter to try getting me as active as possible but normally thats not possible." After Yarde he said"I barely took any damage vs Yarde & am happy to go right back into camp,2 mos is perfect for me at this stage because I feel great & didn't have to heal because Yarde didn't do any damage"

You're acting like Yarde hitting Kovalev 8 more times than he did Yarde in rd 8 somehow has any bearing on how long he needed despite Yarde Literally doing no visible damage to Kov & despite him losing by huge margins in every other rd.

To top it off most fighters don't wait several mos for fights unless they're big named Champs already,most up & coming fighters or simply just title challengers are known for taking fights on very short notice.

Ruiz fought AJ 1 mo. & 11 days before AJ,& he faced a literal giant dimitremko before AJ who hit him way more than Yarde who barely did anything besides 1 rd.

Korobov took the charlo fight where he was robbed with a weeks notice despite having fought at lhw fight before. Theres tons more examples I won't even both find,but bottom line is Kovalev was going to be kod by Canelo with any amount of rest.

Ggg announced rolls fight like 5 weeks out,did 3 weeks vada testing & made it at a cw that benefits him rather than Rolls. He dragged Vanes outta 2 yrs retirement & up to 160 with like a week or 2 notice ffs,but it only matters to you that Canelos every opponent isn't allowed to come in at hw without at least being slowed down the tiniest bit for a fight at midnight basically & have every conceivable advantage imaginable?(on top of the countless advantages they already have that are much more important)

It doesn't matter that Canelo had knee surgery & has been fighting with leg brace nor that hes Literally the smallest lhw champ in many countless yrs?

That’s still a poxy weight clause you ***head
