Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Gets Off The Floor, Decisions Sergey Kovalev

[deathofaclown]

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.

Did you find 8 rounds for Ward?

I just can't see that at all.

LOL how the f did Ward win 7 rounds?? Come on guys, its not funny anymore. The Russian got shafted.

How do you win rounds by clinching? Such a bullshit decision.

They were both clinching, Kovalev was headlocking Ward all the time, and Ward was the one mostly trying to work on the inside.

There's no one to blame for the clinching coz they both did it and both were warned numerous times.

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

Ward won the fight, many people weren't counting his body work, he was landing power punches repeatedly, it's why Kov slowed down.

I'm surprised almost no one saw all the body shots Ward landed.

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.

How can you not see the bias.ward only won because the fight happened here in america with an american ref and 3 american judges.

Again, the fight was too close. Ward looked alot sharper the whole second half and kovalev faded.

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.

Okay so Felix Trinidad won against Oscar De La Hoya because Oscar ran in the latter rounds despite winning first half of the fight.


Now Kov won the first half of the fight AND ON TOP OF THAT, Ward was running the entire fight. Literally running and waving at Kov.


And Kovalev landed the much harder blows.

How do you explain Ward winning? Did he even land a single right hand?
