    I couldn't care less about the official cards. I have eyes and I can easily judge as I have judged thousands of other fights before it. I had it a draw going into the 11th, that's hardly pathetic. I tend to do a very good job pushing my support for fighters to the side when judging fights. I believe anyone being biased towards a fighter wouldn't have this a draw but would easily side with the judges, no?. I never liked Golovkin for example yet had him winning his last fight even though very few would argue with me if I had his opponent ahead. I've been a fan of Mayweather since 2004 yet had him losing against DLH. I've been a fan of Pacquiao since 2004 as well yet had him losing to Marquez in the 3rd fight. The examples are endless and are all easily observable on these boards IF you want to be objective and not a complete nutcase.

    "Paid off"..., "didn't care"... What kind of mindless idiotic garbage is that?, are you 16 years old?. That's the type of garbage I would expect from a Golovkin fan.

    Of course Kov was down on the cards he was fighting Ginger. He's 3 points up before the bell for round one lol

    And Perez is skilled.

    Fingers crossed that his stamina issues were related to weight. Otherwise he is ****ed.
    But focusing more on speed(as he has done in his 3 previous fights) against the bigger men especially is not a bad idea.

    Kovalev needs to retire and join AA. Nearly losing to bodybuilder Yarde and being KO'd by Clenelo is embarrassing. He's totally passed it and is only going to damage his legacy more by carrying on.

    "I'm the most idiotic and irresponsible trainer of all time,'' added Buddy McGirt. ''I'll be the first modern trainer to put my fighter at cruiser while not bulking him up, but keeping him the same weight as George Groves at SMW.''

    Even if Kovalev tried to bulk up like Cleverly, it would be dangerous considering the size of many cruisers these days. But if he truly does go up without attempting to increase his size, it would be truly unbelievable. He can no doubt hurt cruisers and it would be fascinating to see, but taking the risk of being physically bullied due to the weight difference is just absurd. If his team allow this, their treachery has reached a new level.

    His options are limited. Beterbiev is going to tear him a new a@@hole. He might do OK against Bivol. Ironically he'd get hammered by the Nail.

    Alternatively he goes up to Cruiser, wins a fight or two and gets a big money fight where he gets his final payday.

    I'm with you, I like Sergey and don't want to see a Sub 200lbs Super Mutant make him his *****, but I think we'll see one good thing from it. Kovalev's weight draining has robbed him of his power, without cutting he'll probably find he can punch like a savage again. Although I'm not convinced that counts for much, as he'll be fighting guys so much bigger than him he might not be able to budge them anyway. If he can punch like he used to be then he might give 1 or 2 guys a slight headache, that said; i think he's stopped early by all of the top guys.

    Pretty irresponsible for a vet trainer like Mcgirt to be on board with this.

    You only need to add Shadow for the complete Cinnamon Circle Jerk.
