Good for her , I personally believe any sportsmen should fight in what makes them comfortable , I do not see how a hijab affects the outcome of a boxing match

That was incredible

 

I had it 98-92 Kovalev after ten rounds and the commentators mostly seemed to agree at least about Kovalev being well on his way to the win.....and then that, holy shit

Canelo is a complete fraud as a pro boxer.

 

It's unfair he's winning ridiculous amount of money while other more hardworking people in Mexico barely eat.

Yeah that's how the world goes. Footballers earning millions a year, Kardashians getting filthy rich because they're famous for being famous, and so on  

 

When it's about boxers, I try and judge them as boxers, and he's a damn good one at that.

Ethically, you are 100% right.

But he is so great and talented that money he earns is well deserved.

I'm not always sure athletes do deserve the tens of millions they get  But then again, that's how the market works. If nobody was interested, they wouldn't get paid that much

They dont, no matter how good they are. Canelo deserves money but in this world they are way overpayed and even that is understatement. I am sport fanatic, i respect and enjoy watching every sport, but to have some footballer earning 100M, with basic education, and some physician or scientist earning small amount of that sum.... this is cruel world. 

At least Canelo is good in something. Why is Kardashians earning fortune? Like many other similar examples.

It's not even their fault though. I mean, if I was as good as someone like Canelo (or Cristiano Ronaldo or whoever) and I could get god knows how many millions for a fight/match/contract, I'd do it. No doubt. At all.
