Kovalev should probably retire, because he is no longer the Krusher. He gave a mildly competitive, but also timid performance against a smaller guy, albeit one of the best in Canelo, and got knocked out.

He didn't look like the Kov we remembered against Ward, and against Eleider Alvarez in that first fight.

is he off or on the booze?

is he off or on the booze?

I'm gonna guess he was HAMMERED DRUNK when he made the comment this is his first step back to a world title. If he wins he gets no cool points for beating the guy with 6 pro fights jumping up 2 weight classes and if he loses he looks like dip $h!t for even fighting again.

Golden Boy coming out w/t a **** next yr. First up Garcia vs. Campbell, followed by Kovalev vs. Bek the Bully then Teixeira vs. Castańo on JoJo Diaz card. Just heard Vergil next fight will be on March, their schedule is �� �� ��

Forget it Kov you are about done.

[SN!PER]

You saw Golovkin and Canelo were doing fights and you didn't wanna feel left out.

Smaller former champs have moved up from LH to cruiser

He’a a shell of the Kovalev that fought Pascal. That version would have destroyed Yarde in under 6, and would have demolished Canelo.
This version of Kovalev should retire.
