I'd imagine Kovalev uses that frustration as an extra motivation to demolish his opponents, who must know what they're getting into. A part of me still can't believe how Kovalev lost that second fight. One of the lasting mysteries of boxing. I"m still hoping out hope that there will be a Kov-Stevenson fight somewhere in the not-too-distant future.
I don't see anything mysterious in it. A bully gets bullied and quits, it's a cliche. A drunk can't face reality and instead makes loads of excuses, another cliche. A racist says racist things.

I'm curious what you find mysterious about it?(not trying to be argumentative, genuinely curious)
Did he get bullied tho? Many feel he won the first fight and he may have been hurt in the second but those nut shots certainly had something to do with the ending.
