    Here is a short, incomplete list of his antics:

    Doing a pelvic thrust taunt at Clevely seconds before knocking him down. After DESTROYING this guy in his back yard, Kovalev proceeds to stand on the ropes and give a pronounced fist under arm "**** you" to the crowd.

    Talking to Silakh during their short fight. When asked what Kovalev was saying to him he replied, "I told him I was going to knock him out". Shortly after brutally KOing Silakh, Kovalev walks over to his limp body and yells something at him.

    After putting a nasty combo on Pascal that caused him to crash into the ropes, Kovalev slips to the canvas and the referee calls time out. During the timeout Pascal, very hurt, stumbles from corner to corner. Kovalev points and laughs at him for a solid 5 seconds before knocking him out in the next 5.

    Kovalev repeatedly goes to the hometowns of other fighters, seemingly out of the joy of displeasing the crowd.

    "He is the meanest fighter I've ever seen, both in the ring and out of it" - Don Turner

    Sometimes accidental ring deaths can cause a fighter to soften, and lose a killer instinct. If anything, Kovalev punches with more venom since the unfortunate incident.

    He is officially the meanest man in boxing.

    IMO kovalev is the meanest and most intimidating fighter since prime Vitali. You have the feeling that he really enjoys to hurt and KO bis opponents. Especially bis laugh yesterday was like "i got you, you ****ing loser"

    Nicole Duva says that everyone at Main Events is terrified of him despite the fact that she's never once seen him raise his voice or be anything other than polite with them. She said he just has a presence and a charisma about him which is intimidating.

    I can't remember the exact part of the podcast she said it but here it is anyway.

    Kovalev definitely has a mean streak in the ring.

    He taunted Cleverly with a pelvic thrust, then flipped off the Welsh crowd.

    He brutally knocked Sillakh out, and taunted him while he was unconscious, after Sillakh insulted him.

    And now this.

    Imagine what he'd do in the ring against Stevenson.

    I couldn't help but find that really funny either. Kovalev is a nice guy but he's as cold as ice if you disrespect him. lol
