I do find it a bit perplexing and I do need someone to explain to me how..

a LOT of people across the forums were complaining about Stevenson's celebration after Dawson and how Stevenson taunted Dawson..

What is the difference?

:huh

Can someone explain?
There's a difference between celebrating your success and mocking your opponent.
 
I'll have to see the replay. I really didn't see shit, but I did hear the commentators say something about his taunting. Your picture was taken down. Put it back up so I can see what he did. Kovalev is a badass, though.

dawson has typically carried himself with class. Stevenson is a woman beating rapist who has never shown class. You have to keep reaction to Stevenson in a vacuum. People will never like him.

Here he is mockingly leaping over the fallen Salkh

and here he is screaming a word I would not repeat to the fallen Sallikh

I need to see what happened before I can comment. Generally I don't like it though.

Edit: seen way worse. Duran spat on some guy he had just knocked out. I still don't like it but I guess these things will happen now & then.
 
Don't like it but if I had been Oscar I'd have done it to Feroz and Mayorga.

And I've come to really respect those two now.
 
So when Joppy destroyed Duran... If Joppy had gone over and hip thrusted in Duran's face would be ok by you right?
It's a brutal sport?
Or you think that is over doing it?
Duran wasn't a nice person inside the ring as well I think you gave a bad example.

And I don't think he went overboard have you seen Ann Wolfe knocking out that tall girl it made Stevenson's celebration after Dawson look tame
 
I didn't particularly like it, but I cannot imagine what boxers go through making weight and putting their lives on the line. I can imagine their emotions are all over the place, and I'd wager a few quid that Kovalev felt like a prat for doing it the next day
