Say what you want about Kov's personal disintegration after the Ward loses, but after Bob Foster he probably had the hardest jab in the history of the light-heavy division. Growing up in a coal town in post-Soviet Russia, actually killing an opponent in the ring and bouncing back. His life has not been easy, and I think he won that first Ward fight, too. He cracks my all-time top ten at 175 lbs, around Spot # 9.
Lol he beat ward and ward fought dirty in the second fight shame shame
@@J3-2344 Kov got hit one genuinely low blow and basically gave up, looking to the ref for intercession (protect yourself at all times). He'd been slacking off in training, drinking, even smoking cigarettes. He was great, but the writing was on the wall at that point. Hopefully he can come back, but I think he's past his prime, and cruiser is filled with guys who, in my opinion, carry the weight there much easier than him. They're bigger and hit harder, too.
@@kakonis not really he low blowed him numerous of times... That's why froch says the same thing... I guess he only got hit dirty one time also
Great historical point of view and very true, Bob foster, Virgil Hill, Archie Moore, kovalev, Michael Spinks, are all in the same discussion of top 10 all time 175 pounders.
@@oscarq180sx Froch was a very tough fighter, a road warrior always willing to go to the other man's backyard and slug it out, but he's still harboring a delusional grudge against Andre Ward, who outclassed him totally. Part of being a champ is being gracious in defeat. Returning to Kovalev, there are plenty of fighters who don't wilt or act like divas when their opponent low blows them. Instead, they start doing it back (a la Ricky Hatton nut-shotting Kostya Tszyu or Ward doing it to Judah). Lomachenko got low-blowed by Salido far more than Kovalev did, and while I think he got robbed, he didn't just give up or fold. Kov was literally asking Canelo for photos at their weigh-in, too. He showed up for a payday and got ko'd again. I think Bivol will do better against Canelo, even though he's not blessed with Kov's natural power. He has a better mindset and disposition. Kov, like Sonny Liston, needed that aura of fear and invincibility around him. Once he lost, he lost that aura.
He does look good in this interview. Could be one of the rare times that a long break actually helps a fighter get rejuvenated.
Let’s see how he does come May.
millions of dollars can make a man look even younger :) after a good dive of course.. in a nice pool i mean :)
@@adastraperaspera989 exactly 😉
@@adastraperaspera989 yup hookers ,
I think KOVALEV is WAY past his prime...
Canelos $$$$$$$$$$$
Haterz always sayin Kovalev was old and washed up when he fought Canelo. They forget that up until the knockout, it was a really close fight.
He was in a brutal, life and death war with Yarde a little more than a month before fighting Canelo, where he was clearly concussed and hurt. He was then dehydrated by Canelo, and that’s how he lost.
@@funkrates4778 he fought yarde in August, the canelo fight was in November. Where y'all getting this week's prior bs from?
@@theurge6183 What are you taking about? Seven weeks later, after being concussed and having a month long training camp and THEN fighting with a rehydration clause. I could have flicked Kovalev’s ear and he would have been KO’d.
@@funkrates4778 excuses
Exactly
Ward robbed Kovalev first fight and Ward punched him in the nuts until he succumbed to the pain. Only way Ward could beat Kovalev was by low blows.
First fight was close. Second fight was a different fight . It was close until ward caught him with that clean right cross. The body shots finished him. He didn’t wanna fight
@@1of123 First fight being close, my monstrous cock! That first fight was clearly a robbery, Kovalev should've won that one. Second fight was rigged as fuck, Ward fought dirty and destroyed his nuts until Kovalev couldn't bare the pain any longer.
@@a.h.543 interesting choice of words. You got a point though. A very big and hard point. Awwww cmon
Exactly!
Everyone knows how ward team and himself did kovalev dirty
Kovalev was a beast In Hes prime at 175 .
Kovalev is very humble and gracious for a man who was cheated in the biggest fights of his career and has been battling demons.
Was gutted when he beat Nathan Cleverly. But went on to show his class. Robbed against Ward and politics took over. He was never the same. But hope he has a few wins to go out on.
I think kovalev got a shot at cruiser weight .with makabu or braids or even Lawrence okolie
@@elbrri8066 okolie will beat him pretty easily washed chin.
@@janibekfuturetop5p4p6 makabu and okolie are such weak champions. The only reason no one fights them is because heavyweights dont wanna cut and light heavys dont care to bulk 25 pounds
@@joys8634 Okolie is an extremely strong champion battered Glowacki, and won 11 rounds again michael
He was not robbed against Ward. Ward actually broke him and that is why he was never the same.
Another great interview, always asking the questions that I want to know before I even knew I wanted to know!?🤔
It’s good to see Kovalev back and in a new division. Was such a fan of him in his prime. Look forward to seeing him at Cruiser Weight
I like him using his English it's really good to see people from other countries not afraid to speak it. I hope he does win a title and accomplish his goals he deserves it .
The title of this vid is something along the lines of “Kovalev warns Bivol - don’t underestimate Canelo” when in fact he is saying exactly the opposite if you listen to him.
Exactly! "Do not overrate Canelo!" - he said!
@@josephknecht4272 he should’ve taken his own advice maybe he wouldn’t have been knocked out cold
I’m rooting for Kovalev.
4reall bro
me too !
@Jorge Monsalve
Yes
@Jorge Monsalve french canadian
@@JS25178 who asked you
People forget Kovalev became a champion again after the two Ward fights. He came back from a devastating KO loss and boxed circles around Eliader Alvarez. He showed a new style rather than just being the Krusher. He came back after a very short rest and gave Canelo a good fight. We’ll see what he can do at cruiserweight not having to cut so much weight but going against bigger guys.
Don't forget the fight against Yarde was a 12 rounds war of attrition he only had about 3-4 to train for Canelo
Good luck sergey🙌
Ward hit this guy in the nuts about a thousand times in the rematch, and all the ref did was cheer him on. Andrew Golota would have been proud of Ward's performance.
🤣
u damn right brotha, ward most dirty clinch boring fighter and bs as commentator, no doubt he lose 1st fight and must be DQ for low blows in 2nd.. by regret no way hear Roy Jones Jr. comments Loma fights, best must comment best!
This my boy, from when he use to train with JDJ, when I meet him he was like 13 and O or something, hes a very humble guy, he will beat most cruiserweights out there that's a good move
Sergey said don't "over rate canela" as in don't think highly of him "great defense and great jab"
Great interviewer btw!
It would have been a difficult fight for canelo if he would have given Sergey his four weeks to recover from his fight with yarde.
He had to cut 25 lbs probably put 15 to 20 lbs by fight night then jump right back into camp with no recovery.
His age and the weight he was cutting were advantages canelo wasnt going to give up.
If canelo couldn't generate the money his career an resume would be alot different.
That's canelo's tactics as per usual, to get some advantage here and there
@@parvizhamidov1078 when you stand at the top of the chain you get such privileges.
@@raulenciso6870 or the privilege gets you to the top. Canelo has more losses than his official record.
@@willak79bud90 I'm a Canelo fan but I have to agree. Besides Lara and the 1st GGG fight, who else do you think he lost to? Those are the only ones that come mind for me. I actually had him edging out the 2nd GGG fight, although I was rooting for GGG...should have been a draw just like the 1st fight but I guess that's the privilege you mentioned.
@@jutuz yeah, GGG is really 1-0-1 vs Canelo, but officially he's 0-1-1. How he got a draw on a card vs. May is crazy. I want to see Canelo vs Beterbiev with no rehydration clauses.
Kovalev, is a nice 👍 Guy.
Yes Canelo is coming into a huge fight, people thinking it will be easy but Bivol can move and box, it won’t be easy to because once he feels Canelo’s power he will be on the move, Bivol goes to the body but not often enough, so that’s a plus for Canelo and throws a lot of soft punches
@DB that power to the body... Trust me. He hits hard
@DB breaking eye sockets and knocking guys out to the body or head I guess you’re right
@DB all correct in that list. Didn’t even shake GGG. G ate his best shot like street taco, and didn’t even flinch a bit.
@DB bro andrade went to war with a bum from europe and charlo got whooped vs a bum from europe but you come here talking about canelo having no power lmao hahahahaha
@@alvyalvarez5456 name an A level figher Canelo has KO?

Yo boy micky waitin outside for both y’all
Kov gets belts like you know all belt at cruiser . Canelo and him have super fight at cruiser , canelo becomes undisputed in 3 weights.
"Dont overrate Canello" doesnt mean 'dont take canello lightly ' Damn. You're the native speaker here, too.
Sergi is a nice guy ,Humble and honest ,Floyd take a leaf out of his book ,Good luck Sergi at cruiser weight .
Dmitry has Great Confidence In His Skills, And His Fighting Ability!
The fight with Canelo n Bivol is definitely one of the best attraction in boxing right now n a play from Mayweather's playbook AKA Don King, for Canelo, but he might of bit a lil too much than he could chew with this fight with Bivol, definitely???
A play from Mayweather's playbook? When Floyd became the A side fighter, he never faced an opponent with the attributes of Bivol. Bivol is much bigger, taller with longer reach and highly skilled.
Kovalev is telling Bivol not to overestimate Alvarez, to trust in his abilities, do not overtrain, do not doubt the talent that got him to the fight
Discipline is/was Sergie’s problem. Wish him well on May 14th.
Absolutely
Kovalev is a good fighter and a great guy! He's also doing quite well at his latest fights
I think kovalev was actually saying to take him lightly
Sergei fell for the handshake fake by marcos like the hook from Saul. He's a nice guy.
I always wondered how Kovalev would have done at cruiserweight, he was absolutely skin and bone at 175.
exactly...I think he was more and more drained the older he got trying to maintain that weight. It will be interesting to see him beef up more.
I wonder how he maintained strength, power and stamina at that weight .
Title is wrong. Kovalev said not to overrate Canelo.
🙌
My mans rocking the Ramseys sandles
Canela he says, hes still holding grudge 😂😂
I hate hearing excuses after a fighter loses, if it wasn't enough time to get ready than you should have not accepted the fight! Simple
he wanted paydaaay, haha but he’s not making excuses. he clearly didn’t look the same as he did in his prime but that shouldn’t take anything from canelos win, it was a great win. But now he’s got a real test in Bivol, one i don’t think he’ll pass
@@miken1299 he will pass but it won't be easy
@@lupemartha6310 Nah .... Bivol wins easy 9 rounds to 3. And canelo will be gifted a draw. You heard it hear first
The ridiculous part about his complaints is that Canelo offered to fight him before Yarde, but Kovalev passed so it was made after. And if he didn't like DAZN's selected date, he could have passed like he did before knowing it's a fight Canelo wanted. But he went ahead with it and made excuses after.
@@californio1850 yeah exactly, the truth is sore losers make excuses, looks at teofimo making up excuses and even making up stupid conspiracies for why he lost to kambosos 🤦♂️
People are overlooking Canelo Alvarez and his skills as a fighter. This is a great opportunity for Canelo to put a lot of his critics to rest on May 9th. Bivol is strong and has a good set of skills himself but I don't think he's good enough to beat Canelo at this juncture of his career. Bivol so far in his career has not fought anyone. Yeah your going to look good against week competition and getting that first big taste with the Pound for Pound King in Canelo it could be a long introduction. Kovalev is right when he says don't over look him.
People forgot how good canelos head movement is .. he is alot more then big puncher. More skilled then mayweather was back in the days
@@trainhardeatsleeprepeat189 more skilled than Mayweather 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@MrDjblakmagic33 bro, mayweather might not be stronger than canelo but he made him like a fool, he also said canelo is his easiest fight.
@@MrDjblakmagic33 Yeah nowdays he is. When canelo lost to floyd he learned alot
@@trainhardeatsleeprepeat189 delusional
Kovalev coming back looking like a science teacher
I dont think 19 fight bivol has a chance he don't have the EXP points lol
He has a better chance than kovalev. Number of fights doesn’t always mean more.
@@nightsphenom7122 I don't think so that 1 1 1 2 shit us not gonna work.
Canela 😂 everytime i hear it, so funny
Kovalevs chin looks just like his nose upside down
8:27 "just believe in yourself"... EVERYONE believes in themselves until they get countered by Canelo
Canelo is going to lose 8 round at least. But one punch of Canelo and is over.
Canelo will dismantle this guy with the usual 123. Bivol doesn't block after he attacks
He's so strong , he couldn't KO Mosley, or Cotto.. or GGG .. but he dropped these 168 lb guys? What a joke And a fraud
Dang I saw this interview he doesnt want to go on it and saying is it ok i do thsi interview? u know im russian people might not like it
poor guy
You not making any sense?
@@CarlosVazquez-xg4zv he saying there was an interview where he was asking is it okay if I do this I’m Russian people might not
like this
Easily one of the best
I'm definitely a Canelo Alvarez fan but all I can say this is going to be a good fight.. Like the Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard fight the first fight.
Honestly I do not feel any scared for Bivol I mean i barely saw this fight today and just by watching how this kid fight its gonna be a tough one for Canelo
He also very effortlessly moves w the rock.....does it work is it pumped up all the way??? Wow like
I think Ezzard Charles was the top light heavyweight, knocked out Archie Moore. I think Krusher Kovalev lost his love of the game after the Ward fights, that and the fact he took the Canelo fight so soon after a damaging war at an advanced age didn't help his chances. The history books won't remember these things, but they are apparent to the unbiased observer.
Bivol need s to stay busy and smart keep s pressure on Babur needs to keep his hands up
Right after that interview Serguy placed his bet on Canelo!
When interviewers talk to someone with a limited knowledge of English they shouldnt overcomplicate questions but formulate in a simple manner, only then will they get the best answers because its not about how eloquently you sound as an interviewer but about how much you get out of the boxer informationwise.
Very true fella they should.
Right,!? It's like "do you envision a perfectly executed, successfully negotiated management of spatially regimented elusivity in this expected upcoming pugilistic extravaganza?" Use simple, common words when speaking to a foreigner.
@@richardharold5144 hahaha
Well comeback Mr Crusher (Kracher) 🥊🥊🥊🥊
I wanna see kovalev again...
Kovalev is great 🤝
Yet every body says Canelo is ducking Charlo and Benavidez ..this is a very very hard fight
Yeah, let's see Benny and Charlie move up and fight Bivol and Beterbiev
I think of Randy Orton each time I see Sergy Kovalev. Kavalev is down to earth
I knew canelo was slick about fighting the crusher at the right time
This the legend who got robbed by andre ward twice
Kov's English has gotten a lot better.
His fight with Canelo was fixed period
Yep👍
It’s harder to make weight when you’re a heavy drinker, or so I’ve heard. So a guy Kovalev frame size had to struggle to make 175. I hope he’s happier and perform better at cruiser.
He weighed 189 rehydrated when he fought nelo, so not really.
It starts at 6:20 when he speaks about Camelot vs bivol never said nothing about not taking a fight vs Camelot actually said bivol has great chance beating him
Just because he's a bum doesn't mean Bivol can't beat Canelo. Bivol has great foot work.
Kovalev should try to get a match and beat Ilunga Makabu for the WBC belt. That way he might get lucky and get a potential rematch with canelo down the line since canelo wants a belt at cruiserweight and was in talks of a match with Makabu.
You’ve made the right decision sergey to move up in weight class … good luck to your goals and motivation….
Koralev actually here tells Bivol not to overestimate Camelot and just be himself.
✌️

🙏🏾✌🏾🐜
SALUTE Kovalev
Who the hell needs advice "not to take Canelo lightly"? Is there anyone in the world that would take Canelo lightly?
Whattttt serg!!!!!
He was a great champion he needs to retired the sparring with ggg a lot years ago it was true ggg knock him down I don’t have doubt about it
This fight is just a stepping stone towards King Arthur, that's who Canelo is really scoping.
He's saying to not put your opponent on a pedestal! Basically don't psych yourself out because he's Canelo! Anyone can be beat.
Hopefully the Krusherr can comeback
Bivol is now pound for pounds best.
Funny how to the haters , against Canelo, he is old but against their favorite fighter he is still the crusher.
i still believe rivalry Kovalev, Beterbiev, Bivol most intersting in that division..
متى الوقت نزال كانيلو ديبال
I love seeing awkward handshakes.
If Benavidez would go up weight fight with Kovolev be great one.
Hey Jake you want someone to box? How about Sergei?
Well the title is wrong. Kovalev tells Bivol not to OVERESTIMATE Cannelo and trust in his way/school of boxing.
👍
Tells him to take a dive like he did
Ward broke his spirit he was never the same
Still can't believe Kovalev took a dive against corrupt Canelo.
Damn shame and it was agreed that he was only allowed to throw jabs until the selected round despite being a devastating power puncher.
I say Cinnamon wins via decision; he might knock him down late but not out.
kovalev was a great fighter.
Given the proper rest he probably would of beaten Canelo by desicion
I doubt Bivol was taking the biggest fight of his career lightly.
👍🏽
When you lose the desire to fight it’s time to leave the fight game!
Krusher!
It’s Kenny Florian!
He used to be beast but Father Time is undefeated
Kov took a dive but I understand
