Watching his pathetic downhill slide one can only hope he gets his life in order for his families sake.
He was suspended for having a substance consistant with plaster of paris. Capitillo, a veteran trainer, grabbed the wrong wraps? He didn't realize the wraps were used, Margarito didn't realize the wraps were used? LOL And you believe that excuse. Circumstantial evidence is used in the court of law everyday. Your boy is no better than Mayweather or Kovalev.
Read the lab report NOT the CSAC version, they "forgot " to mention that The Lab testing the pads did NOT find any substance consistant with plaster of paris on them. After microscopic analysis trace elements of calcium & sulphur were found in the amount found in HUMAN SWEAT!!!! The pads were soft & deemed harmless Also NO Mention of the "Plaster Blocks" that Nazim Richardson claimed he saw fall from the wrap. Wonder where they went to??? This was a perfect example of a kangaroo court & was a terrible miscarriage of justice which ruined an innocent mans career
After you wrote that, no need for buts. Imagine Kovalev's mental state after they robbed him, they didnt even give him a draw like in first GGG Canelo or recent Charlo Castano fight. Kov won it fair and square and could become p4p best fighter and GOAT in LHW and best fighter from Russia ever. I dont defend his antics and scandals but this fight ruined him. He had tough life in Russia, his early life in USA was **** too, he didnt even had his own money, Egis Klimas was buying food for him, and he got robbed in the most important fight in his life.
Kovalev should have had the mental strength to come back. He was more than a match for Ward and his strength and power really showed that fight. DAZN wont renew his contract either because he streamed the Canelo-Smith fight and broadbast it illegally on Instagram.
Thats easier said than done. He experienced too much injustice in his life ( he was also treated badly in amateurs ). Marvin Hagler was p4p one of the most toughest mofos ever and he quit after SRL fight.
Sometimes the system is too powerful to overcome. I dont blame Kovalev for diving against Canelo and taking the $12,000,000
You honestly think Capitillo did not notice the wraps were old? You believe Maragarito did not notice old wraps were being put on his hands? Explain how that happened. That's the sticking point for me.
I gave Kov the nod in the first fight, but it was a close fight, not a blatant robbery. How Kov deals with a close loss isn't anyones fault.
