    See. The thing is he was actually down on 2 of the 3 cards. The problem wasnt the scoring(because neither guy knew the scores) or the ref. The problem is Kovalev doesnt like a fight. He likes to stand at an ideal distance/range and put 1-2's together. Because thats what he does well and better than most. A fight like the one Ward gave him is totally out of his realm and he didnt like it. There was nothing wrong with the shots he took other than that hes not used to it and doesnt like it. Ward brought a fight to Kovalev and Kovalev wants to fight at the end of his range and see who can put punches together better. After awhile Kovalev didnt want to go through any more of that type of fight.

    I could careless what Kovalev has said regarding his personal description of Stevenson. Kovalev was raised in an isolated environment surrounded by people he watched everyday and he understood their struggles as his own I can't condem him for uttering words about a person, however, he should understand that his words can impact a whole segment of folks and their culture. He has likely never connected with a black man so you can't expect much empathy from him culturally.

    If you really think because Ward shares a similar pigment with JDJ and Weeks that now becomes an automatic connection then you need to expose yourself to the real world more often.

    All I do is shake my head everyone I log into this and read all the underlying insecurities and cultural intolerance. I'm amazed by the definitions and attitudes that some of these men have absorbed. They watch a couple of public enemy rap videos and now they've figured it all out.

    I'm not even African American and I blush at some of the posts on here.

    Yeah I think if kov said some racist things to a black man it would **** off or grate another black man ! OF COURSE IT WOULD. That's how it works Caper you clown. Racism is real. Do I blame Kov for anything he said? NO....I find him decent and honest. Your post is empty, like you want to have a go but you have nothing to say. It explains nothing !

    Ovid, everything ive said is fact....Nationalistic troll???lol Racism is real in boxing, from fighters to fans etc. BNP??? all because I said it would be unwise to hire a black trainer after stuff hes said...Just to clear it up. Immigration is a major problem in uk, that's the main reason the country opted out of the EU. More control over who we let in..So YES Ovid I'm one of millions that feels that way, the majority..
