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

[Feint First]

Kovalev should never be in the Hall of Fame based on this performance. Ward ruined his ass.

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

I would say only the guys that like these guys for non boxing reasons do that. They jump off the bandwagon because the loss means they are no longer usable for the agenda.

The guys like kafkod and Koba-Grozny and some others,they stay loyal and don't jump ship.

Wow....what a stellar role model for the Russians....

Thats boxing fans in general no?

Real boxing fans do not expect perfection. They understand that in all sports there are good days and bad days and that skills decline with age. Casuals are another matter. They are quick to denigrate and judge what they do not understand. Kovalev's strategy worked for 12 rounds. He and Buddy prepared a decent game plan, but they came up short. The reason Kovalev did not throw the right hand is the same reason GGG did not go to Canelo's body. Canelo's plan was to counter everyone one of those shots and Buddy knew that.

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.

Good point. Ali, Foreman, Ray Leonard, Ray Robinson, Gatti, Pacquiao, Cotto, and many others are revered and respected despite their share of losses.

He is going to the hall. 3 time champ, only lost to the best, beat Ward the first time according to most observers, very competitive in all his loses. Better career and better boxer than Golovkin. Best LHW champ of the decade(Ward didn't stay at LHW long enough).

Kovalev's best win was a washed up Bernard Hopkins. He lost to fighters he should've beat. Why should he go to the hall?

[Thuglife Nelo]

Bivol is a gangsta!

Kovalev's behavior after the Andre Ward fight will disgrace him forever. That was the beginning of the end, the downhill slide began and it got worse and worse until the time he fought Anthony Yarde and Canelo he was a shell of his former self, an alcoholic joke only doing it to pay his legal fees. Good riddance to this piece of S***. The sooner we never have to hear his name again the better.

Look at this guy

1 - RACIST comments towards Adonis Stevenson
2- REFUSAL to accept responsibility after his first loss to Ward, treated his trainers horribly, they all left him, got brutally KOd in the second fight and has the audacity to blame it on his trainers when he wouldn't listen to a thing they tried to teach him
3 - fought with zero heart against Elder Alvarez the first time
4- Gets accused by a woman of stalking and harassing her, criminally charges, goes to jail
5 - SELLS his belt to Canelo Alvarez by taking 1 month rest, rehydration clauses, and all sorts of **** just for the money to pay his lawyers
6- ILLEGALLY streams DAZN fights
7 - Fails TWO drug tests

I'm sure I'm missing a lot

Howd that ‘info’ come out that Kovalev drinks alot between fights?

I started hearing that after he ‘lost’ to Ward in fight 1 which he should have won. Kovalev 2 years before Ward 1 fight would've won convincingly
