Kov's ineffective aggression

[-Hyperion-]

so this f10mo pulled out the slomo when he thinks it favors him(it doesn't)

If you think it's a robbery you obviously can't with your puerile diatribes and moronic conjecture.

See and this is the reason Kovalev lost the fight in people eyes (not mines). The problem with being the aggressor and NOT getting in and doing ENOUGH damage is that instead of it becoming EFFECTIVE AGGRESSION (A Scoring Criteria), it now become INEFFECTIVE AGGRESSION and now you are scoring against yourself which is ****** imo, especially if the opponent aint doing no damage back and is just walking straight back away from you like ward did.

See Even paulie said all kovalev had to do was cut off the ring and not follow ward and he would catch him. Which means ward wasn't doing anything "special", not avoiding kovalev with lateral movement or setting traps or anything beside just going in reverse (this is not footwork or ring generalship) but since kovalev is the aggressor and didnt get in enough damage or win these moments big/dramtic than in these situation it looks to the eye that kovalev is failing which is far from the case. For instance if you take the same action (leather landed, blocked/slipped punches etc) in this so-called "ineffective aggression" moment and put them in the center of the ring Kovalev would win that moment with that same action (leather landed, blocked/slipped punches etc) cause he would outland, outbox and outscore ward.


The problem with pressure You either win it big and it becomes effective aggression or you shoot yourself in the foot and they will score it against you as ineffective aggression.

only if you're in some elitist pro mover country like america or the uk......the rest of the world gave Kovalev at least 7 rounds. All these people give Ward credit for defense....but they forget the #1 criteria is effective punching....if Kovalev lands 1 of 10 and Ward throws nothing in a round, Kovalev wins. That kind of defense where you throw nothing back is not bad, it can lead to the opponent getting tired and discouraged, but as long as you don't land enough and got hit sometimes, you lost the round...

After watching the fight 3 times today I am even more sure of my score of 114-113 Ward and you can EASILY make a case he won round 10.

After round 7 I had it 4-3 Kovalev. I literally just finished watching the fight for the 4th time. Idk where you pulled that talking point from my old friend but it wasn't from this planet lol.

What Kovalev did is the exact definition of effective aggression.

At times he abandoned cutting off for following, and it's clear towards the later rounds he let off the gas, but he was effective all night. He was controlling the ring, pushing the pace when he wanted to, and was landing jabs all night. Ward would counter at times and evade punches as the fight went on, but he was never in control. He never drove Kovalev back and forced his fight, he never took ground, he would contend for it briefly but would be content with winning an exchange and not taking control from where he ends up with it. He wasn't boxing off the back foot, he was fighting to survive more often than not. He was taking serious damage but was playing it off well.

Apperantly, Kovalev has to murder Ward in order to win a round. This is the problem for boxing. The Standard for punchers are way too high, not to soon everyvody would become a slick boxer in order to win rounds.
