ANDDDDDDDD... I'll just leave this here to see if the usual suspects in this thread was also in mines as well!

Mini Mike Devito will stop Billy Joke Saunders later after being outboxed most of the fight!
That pressure will make him wilt like an old tree's roots and then then the fall!
I expect Rozier to instruct the Georgian to just go for the body all night and likely work on breaking out of clinches and head movement from the jab!
Rooting for Khurtszide to knock out this clown cold!
You can't ruin a fighter if said fighter is way past their prime and just a shell of their prime self.
What do you mean? Hopkins was way past his prime but still could operate on a high level and so did Mosley and Pacquiao!
All were ruined from what they could do by other fighters so I don't understand what your trying to say!
Mosley vs Margarito
Mayweather vs Hatton
Mayweather vs Mosley
Pacquiao vs Rios
Hopkins vs Pavlik
Kovalev vs Pascal
Kovalev vs Hopkins
Badou Jack vs Degale
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!
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.
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!
Garcia will be back, he lost to the more talented, quicker, and harder hitting opponent who's a solid fighter himself in Thurman!
Garcia put up a good fight just needs to throw more punches if they do a rematch cuz when he did throw more, Thurman was wary!
Would be a great great fight, Bud would time him and could get a 8-4 win depending on if his power moves up with him and as well as his strength!
One things for damn sure, Bud has to stay exclusively on the outside and he has the foot movement to do it and jab as well!
Iron Mike Tyson with Cus D'Amato and was very hungry and actually trained would stop Frazier in the 5th round!
People forget Cus D'Amato was the guy that kept Tyson at his absolute best and was the only man that could keep him in check!..
A focused, hungry, disciplined Tyson with Cus D'Amato is nigh unstoppable due to his speed, power, head movement, body attack, and pressure! Sucks that Tyson never really got a chance to fight someone really solid to prove this point!
Watching those videos again baffles me why Kovalev went away from the jab. That long jab was absolutely dominant in the early rounds. As soon as he stopped throwing it and started playing Ward's wrestling game the rounds got much murkier.
It's hard to do that when a guy is fouling you and coming in ducking below the waist! I also think Kovalev wanted to prove he can beat Ward at his own game(in which he did supremely) I was very shocked at how Kov negated most of Ward's tactics(few times it worked) and matched him physically!
Ward is a very strong guy and Kov showed him that he's not fighting no 168 guy or tomato can!
Same edited videos that they did of pacquiao beating Mayweather....sad. I know it hurts, its ok though you'll be alright don't worry.
Edited? He counted Wards punches you embicile even the ones that shouldn't be counted for Ward! Do you need glasses or do you need bifocals my good lad?
You and them judges have a lot in common where as both shouldn't be judges!
I knew Ward fans like you would come out the woodwork like roaches when the lights are off, but I came prepared!
It's insane that the guy has fans considering his style is horrendous and he's not honorable!
Schooled and clinic are 2 of the most over used words in boxing.
The video proved what a schooling it was, Ward is just a master at making fights ugly to make it look like the other guy is fighting his fight in which Kovalev choses to!
If one guy continues to beat the other guy to the punch with harder shots even when he's gassed you wouldn't consider that a schooling?
Ward and Ward fans change the narrative almost everyday, one day it's Kov who was broken down by bodyshots(funny the "bodyshots didn't land until the 6th round, a round after in which Kov started to gas, before not after) and I'm even hearing Ward will kick his ass again?? What?? You guys don't watch boxing, go back to playing water polo or golf because boxing is obviously not for you!!
Vitali Klitschko would knockout that oaf in the 11th round, Fury of course would be moving like he's playing dance dance revolution except for Vitali won't be prancing and dancing he'll be looking to cut off the ring!
Fury doesn't at all hit hard for a guy of his size and once Vitali knows that he'll come in full steam and punish him till he catches him clean and KO's him!
If you're saying Kovalev chose to fight Ward's fight, my question would be, why would he want to do that? Love him or hate him, Ward is undefeated and the main reason is he has a style that takes away the other fighter's offence.
Some fans complain that Ward's tactics are illegal (others complain about Kovalev's headlocks) but the reality is if the ref allows it, then it's legal.
I'm no fan of Ward's but the reason the judges had it close was because Kovalev allowed Ward to get inside and fight his fight. I thought Kovalev held his own on the inside but he didn't need to be there. Kovalev needs to keep Ward on the outside, score with his straighter punches and avoid an inside fight.
Kov said before the fight that he wanted to show fans he can box with a guy who folks said was the better boxer and he proved he was the superior boxer!
He fought Ward's fight and beat him but the judges gave the decision to Ward!
Kovalev won't make the same mistake twice, he had respect for Ward in the first fight almost too much and he's coming with NONE at all! Ward's years of spoiling, illegal moves and fouling tactics will all come back to him on June 17!
Kovalev will make it Ward's full time job tasting the canvass like a food and art convention!
here is an actual unbiased..un-agenda driven, review of the fight
KOVALEV LOST...GET OVER IT...REMATCH IN JUNE....KINDA OBSESSIVE ARENT YOU.
he goes in to detail and scores the fight...tells why he gave the round to ward or kovalev
KEEP HOPE ALIVE DAGGUM
Lmfaoo at "un-agenda driven and unbiased" you definitely lost credibility with that one!
I watched the vid and it seems they scored the fight after it was over instead of going by slow mo cameras and watching for legal punch by punch landed each round!
Do you fu€ks actually watch boxing or you just watch what you choose to see?!
Kovalev was THEE champion, why does Ward get the benefit of the doubt in every so called, "close round" when he should be the one trying to prove something!
I hear folks say,"well Kovalev was hurt by bodyshots and kept clinching and refusing to fight on the inside" but yet you ignore Kov's short hooks and him responding to Ward coming in with his head and fouling the man?!
Your clearly biased and so is this fool who sounds like he went to the school of Virgil Hunter's University of Delusions!
Ward as the challenger has to make a clearer effort to win rounds and he didn't! It's a history in boxing as the onus is, as the CHAMPION you get the benefit of the doubt not some guy who makes it ugly and is getting outlanded and hit by the more effective shots!
I have yet to see any of you fools explain how Ward won round 10 which is the round that all 3 judges had it for Ward in which if you actually watched Kov was hitting him more CLEARLY and that was why Ward got The decision, not that he earned Iike he shamefully claims!
Your an embicil if you keep rooting for the losers....Ward clearly won the fight, Floyd is TBE, lil g lost to Jacobs and Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. will defeat brook. PEACE.
What and what? Lmfaoo
Floyd is TBE to you but yet your arguing about a guy that your TBE said emphatically won the fight in Kovalev and that Ward definitely lost that fight!
Lol your so lost it's almost as sad as a child getting lost in a Toys R Us!
I actually believe Golden Goose Gennady lost to Jacobs so I guess that threw you for a loop, toucan sam!
Get off this site, go watch arena football or basketball cuz this sport is absolutely NOT for you!!
Not bad, he needs to get his son to come with some Tyson like head movement and crouch low and with more feints instead of just bullrushing and smothering his own punches!
Seen some improvements on that in the Thurman fight so let's see what else Kenny got Shawn Porter aka Porter's House got for Berto!
Won't matter cuz you won't have the options on that Bibical!
Wlad is coming to knockout this overhyped Crossfit boxer! Fury was a mammoth that moved like a gazelle with sloth like arms, Bibical is a just a brute caveman that walks into straight lines with little head movement he'll be eating jabs and right hands like mom's leftovers!
Wlad by KO 6th round!
bro, kov lost the fight, move forward with your life we already know you think he won and that's okay but he lost. nobody was schooled, kov was missing a hell of a lot of shots this video doesn't show. everytime you guys fav boxer loses there are always these vids we have to watch either in slow motion are that are made by people who are crying robbery. I could see the fight going to kov but nobody was robbed and nobody was schooled.
Lmao Team Ward is that you??
It's hurting isn't it, that notion of feeling you know what's right but deep down you want to admit it but you have to side with your guy because you carry his spitbuckets I'm sparring or handle his equipment when he's done!
The video is irrefutable evidence on the ultimate scoring criteria in a boxing ring! Who landed the more effective damaging blows and who was leading the fight and in this case if your not bias you would know Kovalev exemplified both that would win him the fight especially coming in as thee CHAMPION!
They disrespectd the champ, to give all the same scoring and it being unanimous was unbelievable!
With the rematch now being the Roc Nation sponsored show mostly Kovalev unfortunately HAS to knock out Ward, heck he could drop him 3 times and the judges might fu€k around and give a split decison to Ward just because he survived and made the fight ugly!
Just watch the video and stop denying proof, The ref saw Ward blatantly tried to DDT Kovalev and even tackled him and the ref didn't even Warn Ward but gave Kov a hard warning for a low blow when Ward low blowed the man 3 times in the row without no warnings!
Disgusting stuff in a championship fight!
lol only a niche on here thinks he won
The same people that used to quote compubox stats for mayweather fights now claim compubox is rubbish lol
Stay on topic, what does Mayweather and compubox have anything to do with how the judges got it wrong and that folks need a reeducation on how to score fights?
I schooled someone on here months ago about how compubox can be a load of crap and how they can improve on it so you definitely don't want to bring that mess in here!
Point of the matter here is, the narrative is changing everyday on how the fight was won for Andre Ward!
I've heard someone told me that Ward was going to KO Kov if the ref didn't keep breaking them up and another person tell me that Kov didn't want to fight and Ward was beating him down???? Lmao
I too was.smitten by Ward an Olympic gold medalist and a guy who cleaned out 168 but Sergey Kovalev is a WHOLE nother league than the guys Ward has faced!
The video showed how great Kov is, if he didn't know how to negate the fouling tactics from Ward he'd have cuts on his eyes,possibly broken nose and a doctor would've stopped the fight early(Mikkel Kessler) but fortunately and unfortunately Kovalev is much smarter than that and gave the man all that he was asking for and more and the judges still got it wrong!
Learn something and watch the video!
Never mind I get what you were saying so scratch all of that, just so tired of hearing folks changing up the narrative on how the fight was won..just got a message from a guy who boxes saying Ward will stop Kov to the body early smfh
Very good fights!
I got Berchelt wearing down a very tough Miura who yes has a punchers chance due to that left hand but Miguel has a bit more in his toolbox to finish him!
Berchelt by TKO 10th round in a war!
Smith Jr vs Barrera will be another good one! Smith hits much harder but isn't as schooled as Barrera!
I think the Cuban hits and makes him pay till he gets caught by a bomb and is taken out like last nights trash!
Smith Jr is also very subtle with his techniques(played possum against Fonfara and punches with Hopkins knowing B Hop couldn't hurt him)
Got the Union Worker with another upset win, KO in 9th round!
Corrales should win, too much speed and movement!
Lmao this guy is hilarious!
Imagined if he learned English he could be a star in boxing if does that and knocks out Saunders in highlight reel fashion!
Good luck to him and I'll be rooting on Mini Mike to stop him!
Matthysse will end Rios' career!
Years ago this would've been an instant classic match up war but I think Lucas e have target practice with him!
I mean Rios ducked Provodnikov while Lucas fought and beat the prime out of Provodnikov!
Nice. Sounds like a cool little event, must have been fun. When I saw the title of the thread I though you just randomly bumped into him at the super market or something lol
Lol c'mon it was a big deal to us DC natives who are boxing fans!
I bet if Lamont beats Thurman folks will be all up on this forum playing mix and match with who could beat him or who could KO him!..
Golden Goose Gennady simply finally met his match in The Miracle Man himself, the man who beat death, the man who stood up to Golovkin's best shots, and the first man to see him eye to eye on the same level when the final bell rang!
Danny Jacobs!! Hope we see them at it again, I think Jacobs can win it!
Fury needs to get in line!
Have him fight a Takam or Ruiz for his first fight back and then take on any of the champs as he's still the Lineal champion!
He's pure gold entertainment wise and I'd love to see a presser with him and Wilder, ***** would be a classic!
