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

[BillyBoxing]

Didn't get to see any adjustments from Kov, he couldn't win a round 6-12. Ward on the other hand couldn't win any rounds 1-5 but adjusted marvelously to win 6-12. U say Kov can adjust but he couldn't and didn't once Ward figured him out . Otherwise u had a great post here, especially acknowledging how Ward slowed him down with his dedication to the body. Most blind Kov fans refuse to see that Kov ran out of gas ⛽️ in the 6th

I dunno if I'm a Kova fan, most likely, Kova was the underdog, fighting on his opponent's soil and got the short end of the stick.

So I feel bad for him and that's why I'm trying to defend him.

Ward is the better boxer and Kova won't win the rematch IMO, Kov fought a great fight and is not being rewarded for that.

Kova gassed out IMO, he couldn't compete with Ward speed all the fight, and the body worl slowed him down.

I kinda have a problem with Ward walking out with the 3 belts.

Ward didn't do more and this being the challenger.

Good honest post !
I can respect that as I also had it a draw even as a Ward fan. Kov winning 1-5 and Andre winning the rest. IMO Kov should of retained his belts in a draw but I can't be mad either way as the refs called it very close like they should of. But sometimes refs may lay more emphasis on the fighter who closes the show and that definitely wasn't Kov

No question bro. Heres the gif a little bit slower so they can get it all in.

I think Ward planned on countering and leading with that right hand but Kovalev timed him coming in beautifully and made him abit gun shy to throw that punch and hesitant to throw it again. There were times I saw openings for it and he didn't take them.

Beautifully timed by Kovlaev I really thought that was the beginning of the end for Ward great heart to get up and bounce back.

Great analysis 👍🏼
I also saw Ward tentative to throw the counter once he got rocked. But he did recover well and started throwing those counters again once he deduced Kov's power with constant body work. Then he mostly stayed in the pocket and risked a lot of exchanges

Yeah the body work was fantastic and a key to victory.

Seemed a lot of that went unnoticed.

With the one 10-8 round it's impossible for a draw.

Looool. Cry some more.

Ward lost that fight, close but clear he lost. Ward really looked like dog****e in my opinion. Kudos for him for hanging tough coz Kovalev is a monster but c'mon, no way did Ward win that fight.
