Khitrov - about the defeat of Kovalev from Alvarez: "They just bought him"

Ukrainian middleweight Evgeny Khitrov shared his thoughts on the reasons for the defeat Sergey Kovalev in a duel with Saul Alvarez... According to Khitrov, the Mexican's team chose an opportune moment and offered the Russian such conditions that he could not refuse, even despite his poor form.

“I think this fight was clearly planned. Kovalev was just in a crazy hole. I think Sergey could have won against him too, but Kovalev was caught at that moment. They just bought it. He was not in shape, but the amount he was offered ... Any other boxer would have agreed, "Khitrov said in an interview with the Boxing Studio YouTube channel.
