The fight & any testing is controlled by the State Boxing Commissions. No fighter should be allowed to dictate alternate testing or equipment boxers use. Most boxing commissions are jokes theyre either incompetent or corrupt you make the choice on that one. Judges & referees give disgustingly biased performances & yet they're back the next time to do it again. Teddy Atlas ,for all his eccentricities is dead right Boxing is corrupt
No, but I do have a problem with people moaning about illegal tactics when the guy is getting in the ring with someone who is closer to collecting a pension, than he is to his physical prime. Rough tactics? Boo-f'in-hoo, Kovalev is 20 years younger, and has every physical advatage, deal with it and quit bitching. If he cant beat a guy who is basically FIFTY, then he doesnt deserve the hype hes getting
Lots of butthurt Kovalev fans getting ready with their excuses already One idiot even said 'If Pavlik hadn't had alcohol issues, hed have beat Hopkins'
not on the 8th of november and not by bernard hopkins. maybe once hes cleared out the 175lb division and decides to move up. :thumbsup
