Comments Thread For: Duva: Ward Has Great Future in UFC, He Should Fight McGregor

[Kigali]

Kovalev initiated just as many clinches as Ward as he was dead tired in the second half of the fight. Lame

He did more clinching than Ward.

Ward took away Kovalev's bodyjab and replaced it with his own.

Ward did most of the body work last night.

[Boxing Logic]

shes an idiot, kov was doing the same amount of clinching

Incorrect my friend. Ward initiated clinches for his offense, then Kovalev had to engage in the fight for arm control too since the ref wasn't doing anything. Was he just supposed to let Ward pin down his arms and get off shots without defending and trying to hold Ward's arms back? If the ref is going to allow your opponent to cheat, then you have to try to get on the same playing field.

That doesn't mean Kovalev was the one holding though. Ward would duck down, lunge in, wrap Kovalev's waist, then pull Kovalev in, then get off shots, grab Kovalev's arms, push off, get off shots, grab back to keep the range, get off shots, grab back so Kovalev couldn't escape, etc etc.

It was Ward. It's always been Ward. It always will be. How ****ing gullible do people have to be to blame Kovalev for the clinching? Did they not watch this fight, or any prior Kovalev or Ward fight?

Duva's sodium levels are way above those in the Atlantic ocean.

Maybe she missed how much Kovalev held and pushed down on Ward's neck. Byrd even warned him several times.

All I'm hearing are "Those g****s are sour anyway."

Kathy Duva is salty Kovalev has a rematch clause prepare for part 2 Ward will win again

You can't win again if you didn't win in the first place lol.

But but the judges said!

Yeah, and I bet you think Maurice Hooker fought Perez even too!

Because the judges said!

Nah, that's what I thought.

Lol, yet it was Kovalev getting Ward in a headlock (UFC move) at almost every clinch in the first 3 or 4 rounds. I was surprised that the ref didn't really warn Kovalev about that. Kov was squeezing that neck, lol.

I am a huge Kov fan as u can see by the picture. This was not a robbery, I thought Kovalev won but cong**** to Ward for coming back from the knockdown and making it a tactical fight. There is a rematch clause in place so we will see who wins the 2nd fight, this maybe a trilogy. Unless Ward doesn't abide the rematch clause which I don't foresee cuz that could mean vacating all the belts, this should be a fun rivalry.

[TX_BOXNG]

I thought both did well in clinches didnt see a factor on either, but i did see the ref favor Ward during clinch

[Fetta]

They both clinched and i saw kov doing it more

[MrClutch85]

You can't win again if you didn't win in the first place lol.



Yeah, and I bet you think Maurice Hooker fought Perez even too!



Nah, that's what I thought.

Andre SOG Ward won fair and square this is turning into Mayweather Castillo 1 all over again I didn't see the Hooker Perez fight
