Ward on Kovalev: "the worst mistake he made was knocking me down"

DIRTY FIGHTER: This is what he really means, he doesn't want that inside work!! It's amazing to me that the same guy who said he would kick me in the ring if he had to, the same guy who said he wanted a street fight, is the same guy calling me a dirty fighter & the same guy crying foul because things didn't go his way. The reality is when a guy likes to fight one way, on the outside, and is very uncomfortable fighting inside, they call you a dirty fighter. It's called inside work!! That's the way I was taught, you have to be able to adapt and have more than one style at the highest level. Outside, Mid Range, and Inside, if your going to survive for a long time in this game. Kov is a good fighter, but has one style. He fought the best fight he could fight and that's the best shape he could possible be in and he got tired!! Say what you may, the worst mistake he made was knocking me down. It woke me up, and from there we went to work. We bullied the bully. If there is a rematch, we are going to pick up where we left off!! #SOG https://scontent-dft4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/14604830_10155444461855830_1231780979490359203_n.jpg?oh=4a06ed27efc166af7cc7baa23e21dcd6&oe=58C47F7D via facebook
