If you guys think Kovalev gave his all in that fight, you guys are delusional.
    You've always been emotional when it comes to Kovalev. He was a hell of a fighter in his prime, I hope people remember that.

    He'll have a soft touch then one last big fight against somebody like Callum Smith. Once he's knocked out one last time, he'll retire.

      Yes I am a big Kovalev fan, and I am pissed off at him for doing a money grab. I was hoping for more from him.

        It's possible he didn't have the camp he needed for a fight like that but he fought the way he fought because of Canelo. He didn't come to lose.

            I think Kov is done. Done done. That first Ward fight really could have gone his way, maybe he wasn't really robbed but nobody ever did that good against Ward.

              It does feel like Kovalev didn't give a **** about winning from the short turn around to NDA and basically not throwing his right hand

                Now , this I can agree with
                But all the fughin bullchit over throwing the fight is just grown men having a hard time accepting an L
                Although the rest of us knew it was coming
                I was actually impressed that Kovi lasted as long as he did in the fight

                  There’s no way anyone could have bought Kovalev because if he won, he makes way more money in the immediate future than could be offered. He’s also a professional athlete who cares more about his pride than a few extra bucks.
                  Agreed!

                  I get so tired of wild conspiracy theories, however especially where boxing and throwing fights comes into play. We have a very finite time on this planet and of course people should do what makes them happy, but damn there is so much more you can do with your time. Kovalev was knocked out, completely senseless - people can die from these kind of knockouts. Yet somehow we have people legitimately thinking and exploring the idea of it being staged.

                    Sounds like a man who already knew he had no chance of winning

                    Realistically speaking
