    Frazer Clarke is surprisingly articulate.

    I've been hating on kovalev since I can remember. I hate even more to see him like that. As much as I think that he's an ATG *******, he was something really special and unique during his short prime. He deserved better.

    Like I laid out, 7.5 is a very conservative estimation.
    I completely lowballed his post Ward purses. I doubt he made only 300k for each of those fights. And he likely made a million for both Pascal fights.

    I imagine his actual earnings were closer to 20 mil than 10 mil.

    Scoring fights is inherently subjective. My point is, why should we trust an aging, 60 something year old brain that has been abused with drugs to be mentally capable of rendering accurate scores? Dude, you fried your own goddamn brain!

    I have never watched Safar until now. I think the event got to him a bit he seemed to unload a lot of energy early and I think Kovalev's jab caused problems for Safar.

    I'd agree with this. He should have KOd this version of Kovalev.

    Shame to see Kov look so washed up.

    If you cannot trust him to score a fight, imagine to trust him to educate your children :roto2nuse:

    Yes.
    People ***** about his level of opposition but the kid is only 19 and fought 7 times in the first 12 months of his pro career.
    I know he has talked about wanting to become the youngest heavyweight champ but I wouldn´t hold that against him.

    It's such a pity that Mark Chamberlain is Tom The Turkey Alley Shake's favorite boxer, I like him too, but now I have to root for him to get KTFO.
