Remember Team Chilemba and Ward didn’t allow Kovalev to punch walls in locker rooms?

[Thuglife Nelo]

My boy’s team, the Hebrew prince Chilemba, said there were suspect things going on in Kovalev’s locker room in his home town. Something about dry humping walls with his gloves on while Klimas pleading for him to focus upon entering the ring...

Even Ward made sure Kovalev didn’t do such things as to not destroy the integrity of the boxing match.

No wonder Kovalev’s knuckles are messed up. Punching walls’n’shet. Whatchoo thought

I think Kovalev might have won if he had tried harder to win and attacked with full power punches.

Walls don't hit back...

Purpose may have been to stiffen the padding somewhat have more of an impact when hitting the opponent i guess?

I remember hearing how Tyson would hit the walls to intimidate his opponents.
