Turkish Broadcast on NTV Spor. Free baby! Cmon yall Kovalev slowed down, Ward made him miss alot. Kova dropped Chilemba and they said Kova looked bad "there." Well, Kova looked even worse than the Chilemba bout after rounds 6. People just hate the fact that Ward stole the show the second half. It was Kova's "krusher" job to do more.
I thought it was Kovalev doing the clinching...It was smart, Wards fight was inside and Kovalev took that away early by tying him up. Be that as it may I had Kovalev winning...Ward is a soldier though that body work was crazy.
Yeah...insane that the announcers and ref kept blaming Ward. It was so obviously Kovalev doing the clinching and trying to smother WARD's work...that's ironic lmao
Anyhow Ward looked phenomenal after the slow start and KD. I had Ward winning the 3rd round and I believe losing 4 and 5. He practically swept the last 6 (I had Ward in 5 of last 6 rounds). It wasn't even that close really. Only 2-3 rounds were swing rounds so I'm honestly surprised by some of the guys here
I'm not even interested in the rematch.
1. Because we have to be anti-Ward!
2. I've said it before Kovalev is a pretty basic fighter. He probably won't win the rematch since Ward will adapt better and even if Kovalev deserved the rematch as well he still wouldn't get the decision.
Andre Ward kind of got exposed in this fight. Kovalev made it hard on himself by following Ward around the ring. This fight proved to me why Floyd Mayweather's ring IQ will never be match. He doesn't have to rely on making fights ugly. That's what Ward did in this fight. Not a robbery. But I thought the wrong fighter got the decision.
I didn't pay to see the fight, but I am smiling now because I know the b...itching and griping on this message board over the next few days is going to be epic!
From what I have read, the fight was close and could have gone either way. However, I see the conspiracy theorists are already busy and I look forward to reading all the garabage over the next few days about how bad the judging was, how boring Ward was and how superior MMA is to boxing.
