    Kovalev is/was a dominant, skilled, scary fighter who isn’t that tough when someone puts it on him.

    Is that fair or an overreach? Cos it seems like the best explanation

    Yup beat Makarenko and lost to the Uzbek Haydarov and was gifted his medal. And no i have no idea how he would do against Alvarez since Ward got two bogus wins then retired as one would expect.

    Kovalev should rematch and retire if he doesn't finish him in the rematch.

    How do them sour grapes and humble pie taste? That's if you can taste anything. You probably still have the taste Kov's sack in your mouth!

    Why you never want to "let fights simmer."

    Kovalev is scared of losing decisions now.

    He's giving up too much going for the KOs.

    He gave up trying to box, punched himself out, and then got KTFO himself.

    Props to Alvarez. That’s how you take a belt. I don’t think he can defeat Bivol though, but who knows.

    He was way behind when he scored his spectacular KO.

    Kovalev is simply not as good as we all thought he was. Plain and simple. It's painful to admit this but it's the truth.

    Him losing this bad to Alvarez (who I think is decent but nothing special) says it all.

    That's really strange, you're not the only person to say she's into that sort of thing.. I had a little bit of deja vu then.
