If you think Krusher is psycho, watch some interviews of MMA fighters. Those guys act like Mad Max whackos....OUTSIDE the ring, never mind inside.
He's hardly the first though is he? Look how badly Chavez continued to beat up Greg Haugen for example.
Mercy in the ring is a weakness in a fighter. Its a weakness Kovalev does not suffer. Everything I have heard about him says he is decent and disciplined outside the ring. If he starts beating women or hospitalizing "civilians" I'd not like him either, but no evidence he does anything like that. He just beats people as badly as he can in the ring, which is exactly what he is paid to do. If he enjoys it, good for him he made a good career choice.
actually uour completely right, his behaviour outside the ring is whats important boxers know the risks when they enter the ring and the the risk of entering the ring with kovalev is a lot higher than it is for a normal boxer. Its just a bit well crazy looking when his after killed someone in the ring and is still probably the main fighter in boxing who lets it be known that he seriously wants to hurt his opponent and can back it up
Just when he talks about him growing up in Chelyabinsk, street fighting etc - not one particular thing stood out, just the whole vibe of the interview
your judging him by western standards... life is cheap in those russian cities ... hes from a much more brutal society than we in the west could ever imagine:good
