Comments Thread For: Bivol: Kovalev Still Champ For Russian People; Achieved A Lot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Dmitry Bivol doesn't have a gut feeling regarding whether Sergey Kovalev will box again. Whatever Kovalev decides to do, Bivol believes Kovalev has firmly established his legacy among boxing fans in his native Russia. Bivol, a Russian citizen who was born in Kyrgyzstan, commended Kovalev for his performance against Canelo Alvarez and for what the three-time light heavyweight champion accomplished in his 10-year pro career.

Absolutely..

but it was sad to see how fast he's lost it. His alcohol problem was a no-no especially as a professional athlete. Ever since Ward #2 he wen't downhill.

He was in his Tip-top shape vs Ward 1. That prime Kovalev was a beast and would beat everyone in LHW, including the Beterbiev

The Russian/Eastern Euro crowd has absolutely "0" loyalty. As soon as their fighters lose they're bums.

Orlando Salido had a lot of love by Mexicans and that dude had like 12 losses. Marquez retired with 7 losses. Morales had 9 losses. Barrera had 7. All beloved.

Bivol seems like he looks up to Kovalev. Probably why he seemed disinterested in fighting Kovalev when they were both with HBO. Kovalev should retire. Hopefully none of that $12.5M is tied to him having to fight 2 more times for DAZN.

Most of the people that root for Eastern Europeans on this website aren't Eastern European themselves. Given that this is an English-language forum, you're not going to find many opinions from that side of the world on here. There may be a few immigrants on here, like myself, but they are few and far between.

No, when you sell your title and all time ranking for money, you no longer deserve to be called a champion.

I wash my hands with Kovalev

[JakeTheBoxer]

He disappointed fans with poor performance against Canelo.

And he is laughing all the way to the BANK!!

Glad he got the payday instead of losing to another Yarde like opponent for pittance!!!
