Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Proud' He Got Off The Canvas To Beat Sergey Kovalev

He should be. He recovered beautifully and made it into a fight. Most people thought he was outclassed after the 2nd.

Kovalev is definitely Ward's best win, regardless as to what he says.

I 100% understand why he is playing games.

Ward lost in my opinion, but that's just an opinion. What's a fact is that Ward is a true fighter with a lot of heart and he deserves respect whether you agreed with the judges or not.

Look forward to the rematch.

Agreed, guy's got balls. Although a limited fighter he's very clever to have gotten things to work out the way they did. Essentially making him the great fighter that he is.

And that's the beauty of boxing that casuals can not comprehend as such they interpret these decisions as a 'robbery' its not about who does the most damage or who shows more heart by getting off the floor in a fight : its about clean punching, effective agression; ring-generalship and defense! I keep reading these guys talk about '' Kovalev landed the harder shots!'' but what about ring-generalship who was dictating the fight? where they fought when they fought? who had better defense throughout the fight? that's what separates boxing from a street-fight -- skills trumps power in this game.

I agree 100% but casuals will never be able to comprehend. They will scream robbery to anyone who will listen. I had one friend who is a casual fan ask me, how can Ward win the fight when he got knocked down in the second round. To him if you get knocked down there's no way you can win the fight. I tried to explain it to him but he still didn't understand and that's what you get with casual fans.

The fight could have went either way depending on how you scored it and I personally wouldn't have been mad with the decision either way. With that said I scored it 7-5 Ward plus the knockdown, so I had it 114-113 Ward live watch. I plan on watching the fight again with no sound and score it again to see what result I get.

Beyond anything else Ward did show heart last night

I agree, to me both fighter were as advertised and both held great accounts of themselves.

And you sound like one of those kids who weren't even good enough to participate and then went home and talked about how you're better than everyone who did participate witj your heavily medicated father...if you don't think ward won that fight, then im going to tell you what Roger may would tell you,
"You dont know **** about boxing."

Lmmfao, that was priceless.

approaching the Stevenson fight, Ward will deny that Stevenson is his toughest opponent, saying that Kovalev was

I know why Ward is playing games, but funny shht
