Pro Boxer Reactions to Kovalev-Ward

[Gillie]

Crazy how so many can watch the same thing and yet see nothing the same. Only in boxing!! I missed the fight but cannot wait to catch the replay especially with all of the wildly differing views.

Christmas came early for Andre.

Ward needed 8 rds to win the fight. He didn't win 8 rds. He didn't win 7 rds either. 6-6 at best in rds and the knockdown gives it to Sergey.

he actually needed 7 to get 114-113 in his favour like the judges had it. but still, no way in hell he won 7 rounds.

That beer I just sent you, share it with Jhonny and tell him "cheers!". I'm going to see if I can get him an audition to replace Ledderman.

thanks bro, I'll tell him when I get home from work.

Peace.

All this tells me is that a rematch is required, the sooner the better. The fight was close and there are legit claims to made for either guy winning. Thry must do it again.

I agree. I think there was some close rounds that could have made the decision a wide score for Kovalev or a tight win for Ward. I personally had it 114-113 for Kov so not mad that Ward won by a point. Kovalev won more of his rounds more clearly while a good portion of Wards rounds were close IMO.

Fans crying robbery, pro boxers saying different.
