Sergey be the one clamping Andre's arms down doe to prevent holding and hitting. just LMAO
You know Mayweather and Hopkins at least disguised their clinching with a right straight. Ward says F all that noise. He's bending at the waist and shooting straight for the legs in a boxing match. LMAO i was like LMAO.
Here is one for the road as I make more of these.
the most relentless hugger in the game

Headhots i think boxing is too “violent” of a sport for you. Should be “trigger” warnings for your sensitive heart. Maybe try badminton or bowling. More your speed.
I'll post this again for the dumb cunts that still blame just Ward.
Cherry picking at it's finest. The tone was set by Kovalev, every time Ward got in close he'd push his head down. When you know that's going to happen every time you start reaching out to support the weight on your neck.
These are just from the first round.

Kovalev was going to continue pushing Wards head down if Ward held or not, Ward held in response.
The Andre Ward defenders unite!

HUGGING. DOUBLE LEGS. HEAD BUTTS. GRECO ROMAN WRESTLING. REAR NAKED CHOKES AND LOW BLOWS ARE THE SKILLS OF THE SWEET SCIENCE!
Most of Ward fans look at the color of his skin and not his real skills. I don't see the greatness that his fans claim. The clinching examples you provided isn't skills although they think otherwise
what???? his dad wad a white man lol and ill always be a fan, we just see it different but stop bro sheesh yall are too much
Kov did, it's just Ward is very "skilled" at making a fight ugly and taking the action out of a fight!
Those are tactics used to frustrate his opponents and throw them off, fair play but you cannot support him when he trounces around like some honorable Christian!
He literally tries to lift Kov's legs up and slam him and late in the fight he elbowed him which caused Kov's nose to bleed!
The ref literally allowed Ward to do nearly anything he wanted and Kov still outboxed him and out-foxed him as well!
People get mad at the headlocked but dont understand it's just to control Ward's head and to protect himself from getting headbutts!
Ward is fast, good chin, stamina and very strong but when he faces a threat he'll immediately foul his way to the final bell!
Kov must end him since he already outboxed him and the judges still couldn't see Kov winning it!
Take It out of the judges hands is the plan since they can't be trusted anymore!
correct.
kovalev is not known for the clinching tactics, he's simply counter-clinching and still not doing it nearly to the level of Ward.
Ward is legit holding on for dear life 20 seconds at a time 6 times a round.

100% correct.
Ward clearly has the skills and tricks to win. His billy goat tactics have served him well (ref. Kessler) but those tactics have turned some fans away from him. He's a talented "undefeated" fighter and until someone figures him out he'll remain that way. We'll have to see if Kovalev has what it takes to dominate him convincingly.

As if you have....
I have but not pro level.
Only someone who has never fought in his life talks shi about a legend like Duran. Keep eating popcorn and watching TV you slob
This is apart of the game though. As ugly as it is Hopkins, Wlad, Floyd (in certain fights), Hatton, Lennox, etc. All use this tactic. Ali used to push his opponents head down too.
... Are you referring to Kovaliov???... He didn't push Ward's head down!!! Ward was stepping inside with his head down already!!!... starting with round one!!! :)

This chit is illegal

... These gifs clearly stand as epitomes for Kovaliov-Ward I...
This one especially:
https://j.gifs.com/X6JkMo.gif
In the Ward-Froch fight, two official scorecards were 115-113...
... In this one, Ward got stunned by a jab, floored, outlanded, outboxed, outwrestled and still got 114-113 on all scorecards, ffs!!!... :rofl:
You don't even know the basic rules of boxing. :lol1:
"You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent."
Pushing someones head down is illegal. :dunce:
Why do you think refs give warnings for it?
Nope. pushing as in physically pushing someone's body.
when referees warn people for pushing it's always the physical shoving. the head control part, no ref ever deducts points for.
can you push a punch into someone's head? that is way to abstract a rule to even bring up because you have no point.
This is an absolute masterful ATG thread here, almost as good as my own ATG thread about Kovalev completely schooling Ward!
Loving the gifs inputted here to show real evidence and word for word it backs the truth!
Ward was supposed to outbox the stiff Euro commie Russian scum bully racist ahole Sergey Putin Mother Russia Kovalev but in fact Kovale showed he was the much better boxer!
I came away impressed how Kov negated most of the fouling tactics and if he didn't it likely would've ended like the Mikkel Kessler fight!
Good on Kov for having a rematch clause as I have no doubt Son Of Satan wouldn't have fought him again!
How can anyone be a fan of a man who poses as a Christian guy?
He freaking battled his promoter who gave him his shot at the big time on his deathbed in court,
He literally almost ended Mikkel Kessler's career due to fouling him and the ref allowing it!
He headbutts his way to victory against Sakio Bika!
He fouls, wrestles, low blows Kov and get a gift from the judges that HE knew he got and never admitted what we all know that he actually lost!
He continues to spew this "earned" garbage and show off the belts as if he legitimately won it and tries to paint his false victory as a exploit!
He literally got members of his team to try and buy out Kovalev's coach!
He's probably teaching kids how to do those illegal and horrible tactics so don't be surprised to see more fighters who want to take fight out of a fight and do fouling as their weapon!
How?? How can you be a fan of a man like that?! He's a charlatan and he plays his role very very well, as well as Virgil Hunter!
Green k earned!

like i said, putting an elbow on someone's head is understood part of inside fighting. not illegal. it's not clinching.
is Kovalev wrestling? no... he's executing head control. completely legal. doesn't stall action.
Andre Ward HOLDS , shoots singles and doubles over an extended period. He's wrestling. that is illegal. that is what sets him apart.
