    He can get all the rest he needs, he will still get knocked out and Golovkin fans have excuses well prepared for him.

    Kovalev, much like Mayweather and Pac-Man, is now at an age where he is very much entitled to take a cash-out.

    I have no problem with this at all. He has had his career and now is banking some dough for his boxing retirement.

    So you went in with a preconceived belief that you had zero chance at victory, just to bilk the fans and earn a payday.

    I've always liked you, Sergey, and you certainly deserved the payday - but fuck you.

    We're talking about someone who was turned down by every major promoter when he arrived in the US to try and forge a career for himself and subsequently had to fight for free for his first three years over there (18 fights in total) and who hasn't earned anywhere near as much as his talent deserved throughout his career. Not to mention his earning potential obviously taking a hit after getting robbed of all world titles against Ward. And he has serious legal woes hanging over his head and a large extended family back home over in Russia he takes care of. He simply couldn't say no to a $12 mill purse.

    Pretty much what I suspected: he was banged up from Yarde and the weight clause was the nail in the coffin.

    Meanwhile PEDvarez had been gorging on beef a la clen and roiding his brains out.

    It's gonna be hard to wash the clen taste out.

    So I was right about him not giving a **** about this fight, this has nothing to do with him being shot like many claimed, its his mentality that cost him the win.

    Remember what the poster David B said before the Yarde fight and I have no reason to believe he's not telling the truth.

    Only surprise here is Kovalev saying it in the open.

    Mick’s was an interview rather than a presser but yes that is the undisputed greatest boxing rant of all time. The fact that they had to sit him down so that he didn’t faint. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if he passed out moments before and had to be revived by Peter Fury with a pack of cheesy Wotsits under his nose.

    Yup, exactly. I don't begrudge him for cashing out. I would do the same.

    This. Some people believed he still had something left and at least would try to win, but he deceived his fans.
    He didn't even try, came to lose.

    Kov shot both mentally and physically. Truth be told, Rocky From Stocky would probably beat this shell of Kov.
