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

[j0zef]

Sorry, he gave Ward 4 of the first 5 rounds. That plus the sound of his idiotic voice will never make me take him seriously.

[MC Hammer]

Kovalev didnt get any credit for his sharpe short rt hands and rt uppercuts.

Its was clear the crowd and the judges
Counted wards one punch landed to kovalev having to land 2-3 to out do it. ward landed a glancing left hook andbthe crowd went wild. Kovalev landed flush short rt hand ward leaned in and ate a rt uppercut and it was quiet.

The judges favored ward . Kovalev didnt get credit for nice subtle shots he landed . jab from ward the crowd goes wild, kovalev lands two jabs in a row and the crowd is quiet. The judges failed last night. Its shameful.

Its like is said , to beat a top black fighter in vegas you have knock him out.

Its pathetic.

Aww it seems somebody's sad to be on the other end of the Pacquioa effect (even though what you said here is wrong). Don't guys like you usually count the crowd's cheers as proof? What happened here lol. Sorry man the better man won Black white or green.

Paulie is a horrible commentator. Hes riding Wards D**k too much

Former super middleweight king Andre Ward overcame an early knockdown and torrid first half of the fight to capture the unified light heavyweight championship away from Sergey Kovalev by way of unanimous decision in Las Vegas - and claimed away the WBA Super, WBO and IBF championship belts at the T-Mobile Arena in a fight shown live on HBO pay per view.

Paulie Malignaggi carrying on Robert Deniro's tradition of Italians slobbering all over African Americans.

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.

Saw it, heard it, and just read his version here, and disagree with him almost entirely. Ward was never really in control at all imo.

he was in complete control..... Kovalev was largely ineffective after his early success, Ward could fight at whatever distance he liked, and Kovalev could do nothing to stop him..... Ward's ring-generalship dictated the pace and the distance

that fight unfolded the way Ward wanted, not the way Kovalev wanted..... honestly the rematch will be easier for Ward

No surprise that Paulie sides with the perceived "boxer" in the fight.

All that would sound good if ward was winning all the rounds convincingly and not still taking flush punches.

Completely disagree with that. Ward did enough to survive and win rounds, nothing more. Kovalev dictated the pace all night.

THAT, is called winning the fight

Kovalev's pace dropped off, at times it looked like he was struggling to keep up.

Kovalev wanted a slow methodical stand-off at full range, he didn't get it.
