Let's talk about Round 10

[daggum]

did ward die in that round? no, therefore he won it. kov also won round 12 where he landed many more head shots and hurt ward to the body but ward 7-12!

[KingHippo]

Here's my breakdown of the 10th round.

Kovalev hits Ward with a couple stiff jabs to start the round with a left hook Ward rolls off his shoulder at the 2:32 mark. Ward then hits him with a nice jab at 2:22 followed by a solid left hook and a right hook around the 2:10 mark. Kovalev answers with a nice uppercut of his own.


Both were trading shots in the second minute, but Ward got the most significant hit with a beautiful counter left hook at the 1:08 mark. I will also note that Ward parried Kovalev's right hook to the body with the left hand before he threw the counter left hook, which is really magnificent stuff.


Last minute starts with Kovalev hitting Ward with a solid right hook to the body on the inside. But then, Ward hits Kovalev with a left hook, slips Kovalev's overhand right, then block's Kovalev left hook with his right to counter with a beautiful left hook of his own. Kovalev throws a few unconvincing punches that miss, then Ward hits him with a hard, clean right hook to the body at the 0:32 mark. Kovalev hits then him with a solid stiff jab. Then Ward ****s it up with a bolo punch that Kovalev answers with another stiff jab. Kovalev then hits him with a left hook downstairs that Ward automatically answers with a right hook to the body. Kovalev finishes the round by throwing a hard right hook that misses Ward by inches.


To recapitulate, Ward hit Kovalev with the best shots of the round and Kovalev didn't hit Ward with anything convincing, besides the stiff jab at the 0:20 mark. He did win the war of jabs, but that wasn't enough to sway the round in his direction in my opinion.

He hurt ward to the body in the 12th? Why, because Roy Jones said so?

Rewatch the fight in Russian with no biased commentating and you'll clearly see that ward's mannerismsms never changed.

What's crazy is if you watch the punch that supposed hurt ward to the body, you'll see that it was a left hook to the ribs. How do i know Ward wasn't hurt? Because Wards left arm drops to protect the left side of his body. Whereas if he was hurt by a left hook yo the right side if his body, it would've been his right arm dropping.

But because Roy Jones with HBO said ward was hurt, I guess he was hurt.

Learn to think for yourself

this is the video used. Gives you a different look of things and it's honestly the only one I could find...beggars cant be choosers.

Sorry bruh bruh. Your version is missing a dozen CLEAN Kovalev punches. Ward didn't parry the right to the body in time. The check hook is actually more of a slapping/push and Kovalev easing off and rolling with it. I've got the point of impact. Keep reading bro. I have a different angle of it and you can see Kovalev's punches better. Ward was also less active and effective than I thought. Hell..Kovalev dominated that round upon further "analysis".

Show us the punches he landed in round 10, I just posted the vid, it shouldn't take you more than 1-2 mins to end this debate.

Like I said, he was getting credited for missed shots, RJJ credited him with a missed combo at the end of round 9, just as they did in round 10, just as they did so many times throughout the fight.

Yes. I just spent the last 15 minutes of my life on this (posting them and screen shotting) I hate to be the one to do this but I'm just curious to see if you'll admit the error of your ways. I screen capped every punch landed in that round outside of each other's uppercut (Ward's was too far to capture and Kovalev's was a bad angle but we both know those shots landed. ) anyhow...here we go.


Round starts off (after the uppercut from Ward) with a Kovakev Jab. Snapped Ward's head back in the vid. Link at the Beginning


Another clear Kovalev Jab


Another one.


A jab I initially though Ward landed was just an elbow by Ward.

(Continued...)

[NearHypnos]

Kovalev landed a nice body shot to the ribs. Crowd goes wild because they think Ward lands a left hook..he doesn't (look at the next two pics)




Ward just pushed him from the back of the head was all


Ward lands a good clean jab.

[NearHypnos]

Kovalev landed a little right hand to the body in return though the crowd only saw the jab.


Nice clean jab by Ward


Clean jab to the chin by Kov


Jab to the face by Kov

[NearHypnos]

Exchanged Jabs


Ward jab to the body


The infamous "check hook". I'm still counting it for Ward but..yeah. I honestly thought it was a better punch but the truth is in there.


This is RIGHT before they try to exchange right hands...I'm not entire sure if Ward had landed this in the other video with the regular broadcast angle but I sure as hell will count it.

[NearHypnos]

Nice Ward jab.



Ward's best punch of the round. A very nice body shot.


They exchange jabs.


You can clearly see the glove landing in the side of the head/jaw in favor of Kovalev.

[NearHypnos]

Nice Ward jab


Followed by that slapping like shot to the back/body/kidney.



Now... I don't have the rest in chronological order as part of the above since it split my upload (wtf?) but they are pretty much all Kovalev punches in order in which they happened. If I missed any Ward punches feel free to post but that literally looked like all he landed.


Here we go.


Clean Kovalev Jab.


Another one.
