    I can't think of a valid reason why Kovalev took this fight. Besides a mild payday, the only other thing he can get here is brain damage. At age 41 and after all the alcohol abuse he's subjected his body to he's not making any sort of comeback.

    Yea thats the thing nothing was touching the canvas , so technically he wasn't down, but its unsportsman like behavior... dont know if you can over turn that to a NC... but ref needed to do something about that

    Rule the KD and give the guy 5 minutes to recover. Pretty simple and fair.

    Lapin, kept punching the guy when he was down. How dishonorable.

    The thing is he wasn't essentially down. No glove or knee touching the canvas. Can't be DQ or no content. But that was bad sportsmanship surely.

    You can run an errand between every fight on these Saudi cards.

    The problem is he wasn't down. You had to touch the canvas either with a glove or a knee. Still very bad sportsmanship.

    I can’t help but be more excited for Opetaia vs Briedis II. Briedis came in much better shape than I thought he would.
