He hit back at critical boxing fans on social media: “Given the conditions, it was impossible to win.

“You are ignoramuses since you thought I could win.

“I climbed into this weight with torment & sleepless nights. Because it was a financially interesting offer”

Some fans (NOT me) "thought Kov could win"........... and THEY'RE the ignoramuses?

Sooooo...... Kov not only had knowledgeable boxing fans (like me) not giving him a snowball's chance in hell to beat Canelo under the given conditions....... but Kovalev HIMSELF knew he would lose??

This shit just keeps on getting better and better.

Kinda clashes a bit with Canelo's "I'm a legend" proclamations...... if not just outright flies in the face of what Canelo's fans were hoping would be the cherry on top of the ice cream. ("Cherry" being the operative word).

So, how was the live gate for that fight again?












Some boxing fans can be a bit naive, but even the blindest screaming fan can only be "had" a dozen few times before they start to come around.
