6-5-1 to Canelo. Great fight. Two top class fighters. Watched that many slow mo replays and rewound just to say “wow” watching Canelo feint the left hook to the body and turn it to something else. I feel for Golovkin. He’s had 24 great rounds & only 1 of the 6 judges gave him it— Paul Smith Jnr (@PaulSmithJnr) September 16, 2018 Watched again GGG won Canelo Did very good Congrats To him Congrats to Mexico on the Victory but Real Boxing Knows Canelo Lost I thought this time draw won’t be bad God Bless Everyone— Vanes Martirosyan (@VanesBoxing) September 16, 2018

must suck living in fantasyland....11/19/16 ruined lives ducking while coming forward with your hands at the side of your head is not ramming dude....man you guy exaggerate too much.....enjoy the sour grape and crow plate my boy Lunging forward and putting one hand around someones waist and the other around his leg is not ramming into Kovalev for a takedown? I could pick many occasions where Ward was doing this I could also pick an occasion when Ward was trying to pick Kovalev up. Must suck not knowing what a clinch is kind of shows your lack of knowledge in this sport, I'm just trying to educate you but how can you ever learn If you don't listen.

Good job on this. Very well done. That said, I think it was 7 rds for Kovalev and 5 for Ward. With the KD, no way Ward won. The judges clearly, clearly messed up the scoring in rd 9.

9y ago

M_Bison

Yep, that's the reality but America fans are trying to justify this robbery saying that "was a very close fight" but the robbery is that Ward no way deserved the win and he won only because the corruption of this sport and be the local man. But well, outside of America the fans of this sports saw Kova winning this fight and knows that Ward is a ****ing dirty and boring pig. Exactly but what more do you expect from these type of people these aren't real fans of the sport that can be took seriously there are times when we should unanimously come together and agree on things sadly a very, very small minority of people are trying to defend this robbery that is why I don't rate them as real boxing fans. I wanted Pacquiao to win but I accept when scoring in real time it's easy to see why Floyd Mayweather done enough to take it by 3 or 4 pts some fights just are hard to score but this Kovalev Vs. Ward one was not hard in anyway Champion is the aggressor all of the fight Champion lands more jabs Champion lands more power punches Champion throws more punches Challenger is always on the back foot Challenger is clinching quite a lot through each round People ignore those things when a round is close sometimes you just simply have to give it to the guy who is making the fight, landing the better shots and is there to fight not to run.

9y ago

therealpugilist

Just to educate you a little bit son but If someone is ducking low and pushing towards that person they are the person who is instigating that clinch, you're aware ramming your shoulder, head or just your bodyweight into someone is a bit dirty? Like I just schooled you on this clinching debate Ward instigated the clinches and I looked good and hard each time at these ones, sorry to disappoint what you believed to be true. must suck living in fantasyland....11/19/16 ruined lives ducking while coming forward with your hands at the side of your head is not ramming dude....man you guy exaggerate too much.....enjoy the sour grape and crow plate my boy

im good...i've watched the fight in its entirety 5 times and scored it 4 times...i have eyes and a brain of my own keep your biased stats to yourself...if you only saw 7 headlocks...you definitely have selective vision...moving on :trink26: Just to educate you a little bit son but If someone is ducking low and pushing towards that person they are the person who is instigating that clinch, you're aware ramming your shoulder, head or just your bodyweight into someone is a bit dirty?

@Woodsy1069 Kovalev won that fight. He wasn't super effective after the first few rounds, missed a lot but he still landed more hard shots

Kovalev cruised to much I think. Still think he won or it was a draw tho. #KovalevWard
