Having said that, Kovalev was dominating the first fight, and for some reason decided to be cute and fight inside with Ward (to try to embarrass him maybe?) Once he did, Ward got the best of him. All Kov needed to do was stay outside and he would have stopped him. I believe when scoring the fight live, I did give it to Kovalev by 1 round (114-113) IIRC, however he absolutely gave that fight away, and it's 100% on him.
The 2nd fight, Ward was a much better fighter, he was in better shape, and he was dominating Kovalev. This fight was going very similarly to Fury - Wilder 2. Having said that, he absolutely punched Kovalev in the balls several times, and all of those shots were low. Ward cheated.. and sad thing is he really didn't need to. All he did was rob himself of a signature, dominant win. Instead, he goes in the record books as the nutcracker.
2nd fight had an unfortunate end, but we're not going to sit here and act like Ward wasn't bullying Sergey.
114-113 would mean each took 6 rounds, and it was the kd that won Kov the fight

Eh, don't really agree there.
I was ringside for Ward-Kovalev 2, and Ward did hit him low/boarderline low but the writing was on the wall really, Kovalev was getting beat up and on his way to getting stopped.
he landed some nasty bodyshots
Bivol has more power than Ward and will be facing another Russian destroyer tomorrow!

I was a Krusher fan, but I saw Ward winning the first fight (there were technical subtleties and effective punches in there that not many people noticed), and - as Iron Dan said - about to stop Kovalev in the second fight, before the low blows.

Just a shame there was controversy at the end but Kovalev was leaning right over as well but yeah I guess realistically we'll never know and that was a good fight while it lasted to be honest was good to be there ringside.

One of these days I'll watch it again, and let you know if I have changed my mind.

He wasn't getting hit exclusively with low blows, he was getting beat up, I was actually there, feet away.
You know, that place called "outside"? You wouldn't know about it because you don't leave your keepers basement you pathetic, fat cuntSouthpawRight likes this.
