So the aftermath of another (controversial stoppage?) decision is on us and I don't know what to think.
At the time of the stoppage I thought Sergey Kovalev was up but Andre Ward was doing his usual rule bending with some occasional good body shots being thrown. And while I do think Ward hurt Kovalev with a right when Kovalev perplexingly switched to southpaw, what followed after that was blatant and should have been penalized but that's neither here nor there, nor should have the fight been stopped, but whats done is done now.
So now we have one of the biggest divas in boxing in possession of three of the LHW belts. Will he give the rest of the top 10 a shot? Will the belts be held hostage by his inactivity or his demands, will he just go on picking the Brand's and Smith's of the world?
I don't know, hopefully this doesn't turn into a **** show.
Kov was hurt, he knew it, the ref knew it, Ward knew it, the fans knew it. He lost. Kov knows it, Ward knows, we the fans know it, and the little fickle posters that run rampant on here know it
Ward vs Stevenson would be THE fight to make, but honestly, wtf is Stevenson up to? I'm not sure if Ward should move up, since he's gone up to 175 as it is, but if he feels he can compete and decides to do so, then good for him.
As for Kov, he'll bounce back. He needs a major change in team. Maybe see a psychiatrist because mentally, he's nowhere near what his physical talent shows
