Comments Thread For: Larry Merchant Felt Andre Ward Got Gift Decision - Explains Why

[A.K]

I rewatched the fight and still can't give it to ward he's in a Tim Bradley category after the first PAC fight

Ward did great body work throughout the middle and late rounds and kovalev did virtually none, he put a lot of pressure but it wasn't very effective. I would love to see A rematch because it was a dog fight and a rematch would be even greater than the first!

[Califire209]

Every time the cameras showed kovalev's Corner Jackson was not saying anything just staring at kovalev

He's clearly pandering to his Russian supporters. All that fighting got him clearly messed up.

Merchant has no concept of effective pressure

or ring-generalship

or defense for that matter

Mayweather, Jones, Malignaggi - and a host of others - have all stated that Merchant has a very limited understanding of the game

him and that idiot Lampley are just network yes-men

Lampley is a fkn tool

[vitali1999]

I have to agree with Larry Merchant, the greatest boxing commentator of all times

[strykr619]

Lampley was already trying to sell the rematch with all that political bs at the end of the broadcast. If they wanna play that angle, then make the rematch in russia.

Exactly with European judges.... Ward at best should have gotten a draw.

KCUF Larry Merchant. I listened to his comments on the fight and he came about his opinion from a casual fans perspective. Not on the unified rules of boxing. As long as he has been around the sport you would think he knows how a fight is scored. He's too biased IMO to give his opinion on anything boxing related. The more he talks the more I appreciate FMJ clowning his ass in the post fight interview from years back. He needs to eat a **** up and hiccup and STFU

I tend to agree...but with the knockdown he still woulda lost by a point. 7-5 ward is a bit of a stretch imo.
