For those who said he'd headbutt and clinch Did Ward earn your respect

[therealpugilist]

Well to be honest, he did rush in with his head at times and when he did Kov put him in a headlock.

either way, there was no running or head butts, so that excuse got nullified.

im a short guy but you sometimes have to come in with both hands high and work inside..head butts arent always intentional

they did a good job keeping it clean but working inside

Ward's work on the body is something that most have forgot about. Body work is so underrated and your typical fan just focus' on head shots.

there was a head shot lampley gave kov credit for...my buddies got excited...i said "no no ward rolled that punch"....Roy caught it, corrected them, thank God for replay

most high level fights should be watched on mute...the crowd and commentary influence newbies

many shots the crowd got excited about were blocked, or rolled by ward

"If It wasn't for the knock down." If my uncle has a vagina he would be my aunt!

You always muttered "Adjust" What did he adjust? Did he defend himself from Kov's jab and right hand? He got tagged all night long. Kovalev Whitewashed Ward in R.1 R.2 R.3 (close round but Kov has the better punches and combos) Round 4, and round 6, he white washed him with hard jabs and a hard right hand, and you keep on saying adjustments? The moment Kovalev landed something on Ward, ward would duck and sprint towards Kovalev to tackle him and in result Kovalev counters by leaning on him to defuse Ward's inside game.

You don't know what the heck are you talking about! Ward lost round 10 and 12 big when the Kovalev jab kept landing on that round. You keep on saying adjustments without any clear explanation and just keep on saying adjustments to act like you know something about boxing.

What happened to the "Ward gonna nullify that Kovalev jab!" "Ward will use his left to nullify Kova's right hand!" And what did the result say? Outlanded Ward, out boxed ward, out muscled Ward, keeps him on the ropes, was the agressor, the ring general, was easily cutting off the ring and lands hard punches, and you there just keep on saying "Adjustments" or that "Ward took over" When he clearly didn't in 10 and 12.

i gave ward rounds 11 and 12 but all the bolded is right. to me kovalev outboxed the boxer, and that was impossible to a lot of people including TS. and if there is a rematch (and that's a big IF) is ward who needs to make actual adjustments, kovalev will be fine as long as the judges aren't 3 americans.

what are you talking about? the crowd was clearly with ward, jumping and screaming at whatever he did, even if it was nothing.

what's your concept of breaking someone down? honest question because i didn't see that at all, i mean, kovalev wasn't broken down. i had the first half of the fight 5-1 for kova with ward winning only the 5th. i had the second half 4-2 for ward with kovalev winning the 9th and the 10th, ward close a little better than kovalev but it wasn't enough. the 7th was the first round in the entire fight that i saw ward winning with authority. that plus the KD makes a avery comfortable desicion for sergey in my view.

....so....what rounds did you give Kov after 6...he won 2 big....1 was a swing round...there was another before round 6....and after kov didnt win any rounds clear as he had early on.....so what rounds did you give him

dont be embarassed...im sure you gave kov rounds he lost lol

The three minutes of Kovalev Whitewashing ward in the second round is the proof.

there were punches that were clearly blocked that lampley would say "good right hand, good hook" and it missed by inches or was blocked....ward isnt exactly loved like pacquiao you know.
