Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Ward Bossed The Fight, Kovalev's Pressure Ineffective

[aboutfkntime]

kovalev's pressure ineffective despite scoring a big KD, despite busting up ward's face, despite outlanding and outworking ward, despite landing more power punches, despite hurting ward multiple times, etc. etc. hahahahahahahahahahaha paulie is the worst.

Yes, watch it in slow motion and you'll see Kov was hitting air most of the time. The HBO crew kept crediting Kov for missed shots such as the one at the end of round 9 or so, the replay showed he clearly missed. He got credited for 10 power punches in round 10 by Compubox, yet Kov fans won't be able to show me those 10 power shots because they didn't land.

Maybe you should watch it again with your 3D glasses, because Ward didn't get dropped by a jab.

compubox is quite ridiculous

they often score double/triple the punches that actually connect, and sometimes they score just about everything that is thrown..... regardless as to whether it hits shoulder, arm, forearm, even glove

e.g.
even with the rigid old amateur system, a punch had to connect very cleanly in order to register a score..... some hard-fought hectic rounds score 6 points, whereas compubox would have scored 26 points in the same encounter..... and that is in a professional bout LMAO

I truly don't know what they see sometimes

Smfh on you Ward fans... I mean you didn't even have it as onesided as Paulie did. And now you are claiming he's the best expert in the sport... when he's easily the worst. He's the most biased commentator, he always exaggerate the work of the boxer and minimizes the work that the stalker/pressure fighter does. This is not sweet science, this is bs. We have to look at all aspects of the game.

There's a couple of REALLY good videos out there of Paulie summarizing the fight. Recommended viewing for those who can't understand Ward winning. It'll give you a different perspective.

I don't think we need lots of explanations to understand this was a local decision. Ward is a great fighter and his boxing IQ is amazing. Specially after that knockdown.

But there is no way in hell you or anyone can tell me Ward won 7 rounds. So please man.

^And, therein lies the problem.

If you don't believe there were close rounds, then I don't think we even need to have this conversation.
If you do think there were close rounds but refuse to accept the idea that some people would see Ward winning in some of the close rounds, then you're just being closed minded and rejecting anything that doesn't support your perspective.

So, I guess we don't have anything else to talk about.

Paulie knows what to do he just can't do it himself lol haha If he had any power Paulie would be a legend. I give him credit though, for a guy with only 7 career KO's and still become a champion that's a great accomplishment.

Ward body punching was brutal

Ward body punching was brutal

The 12th was close, then Ward slammed another let hook to the body. Kovalev took a step back and drew a deep breath like "fuuuukkkk"..

Meanwhile, Jim and Roy are cranking each other about the 1 body punch Kov landed while Ward landed 4 during that brief conversation.

Paulie Malignaggi is the worst.
