No need for this. As much of a POS Stevenson was many years ago, it's all over now. He's done his time and has repented. NO need to wish death on him.
Some certain fans were baying for Kovalevs blood when he sent out that tweet, when it was just a joke. He lost a lot of fans which is ridiculous. Now they can't even mention his name lol. Although stevenson going to Russia would be a very admirable thing to do. Kovalev always goes to his opponents backwards.
I don't think Kovalev meant anything by it. I doubt he understands or even knows the history of it. So while I feel it was bad, I, personally, forgave him for it. I don't think he's racist at all.
Yeh he's not a racist. If you dislike him because he's said a few disrespectful things post fight and generally acts like a mean ****er then that's understandable. Lol His meanness and brutal no holds barred finishing abilities, make me more of a fan. I prefer a genuine badass to a fake **** talker who never backs it up. And that's why I dislike david haye more than most fighters.
point? Hopkins has one of the best defences in the game plus a granite chin combine that with being on the defence and running the entire fight and it's not surprising
