¨I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna end his life with my fists¨ - Kovalev on Pascal


So....anyone find it distasful The Krusher is saying stuff like this given the fact he did kill someone in the ring a few years back? I don't mind it personally myself, I like a good psycho every now and then.

I'm not a fan of it to be honest. It's already a violent enough business and just imagine if Pascal does lose his life from injuries he suffers in the fight. It'll crush boxing IMO.

You can talk shit without going there, though I don't like a lot of shit Kovalev says while talking shit.

Also I think Provodnikov would kill Mikhaylenko. If he's really calling for that and with Provodnikov not being able to get on HBO every time out, he should jump on that fight in a hurry.

Kovalev is a real asshole lol like the way he was mocking Ismayl Sillah while he was on the canvas and the times he mocked Cleverly but still, part of me likes it since we're so used to politically correctness in sports

Yeah I don't really mind the comment by itself, or the psychoness of it all. Just would hate to see what would come down on the sport if it happens with those comments.

The other comments I'm not a fan of is the racist style shit talking he does, I don't really buy the whole it's cause he's Russian thing.

I do like watching the guy fight though. Just not a big fan of his.

FWIW, I didn't mean just the monkey shirt about Stevenson, which by that time he should've known better. That wasn't the first time he's been accused of racism and tried to claim cultural ignorance.

This is an interview from Shumenov by RingTV on 01/2014,

RingTV.com: What are your thoughts Sergey Kovalev's comments about African Americans? Were they controversial or not in nature, due to the Russian language? In other words, what was your interpretation of what Kovalev actually said?

Shumenov: I was shocked when I heard about his racist comments that he said in reference about African Americans. There was no misinterpretation or lost in Russian-to-English translation of what he said.

He will have to live with the derogatory words that he said in print and video. A lot of my team are African Americans, and they are more than members of my team, they are family to me. They have my back and I have theirs, and I have zero respect for racist views of any kind.

Pascal has too much heart for his own good

I know it's rough, but I hate that Freddie let Pascal talk him out of stopping the fight. Pascal doesn't have much, those body shots took it completely out of him and he's at a point where all he can do is wing a punch here and there hoping to catch him.

Stevenson is a fucken pussy, always finding a way not fight Kovalev. Not sure why this rematch even happened but at least Pascal had the balls to fight him twice even if hes to dumb for his own good

One last card today for January that wasn't finalized when this thread was posted

Jan. 31

At Immokalee, Fla. (Bounce TV): Erickson Lubin vs. Jose De Jesus Macias, 10 rounds, junior middleweights; Alex De Jesus vs. Joseph Elegele, 8 rounds, welterweights; Dennis Galarza vs. Omar Tienda, 8 rounds, featherweights; Dyah Davis vs. Edgar Perez, 6 rounds, light heavyweights; Harold Calderon vs. TBA, 8 rounds, welterweights; David Grayton vs. Daniel Souza Santos, 8 rounds, welterweights; Farid Aghayev vs. Hakeem Atkinson, 4 rounds, middleweights; Jesus Lule vs. Jamar Saunders, 6 rounds, featherweights; Ray Lampkin vs. Darryol Humphery, 6 rounds, lightweights

Good to see Lubin in a main event, definitely want to see him fight better than this class of fighter in 2016 though.
