"Adjustments" gets keep being thrown around with no further explanation.

[Thraxox]

No explanation, no reason, no brief talk aobut how or what he did to adjust. They just keep on saying "Adjusted" At everything and moves on.

This word keeps getting thrown around. Tell me, what did Ward "Adjusted" to? Did he adjust to Kova's range and right hand? I sure as hell didn't see it.

i didn't see nothing. i do agree that kovalev was chasing ward in the second half of the fight, where ward had more success, but andre kept doing the same.

I scored it 114-113 for Ward. I don't believe he really made too many adjustments. I just think it was just business as usual after getting dropped in the 2nd round.

Endurance and grit won him the fight more so than adjustments.

So I joined the fight live late, in 6th. Since re-watched as well.
From what I saw Ward seemed to work out Kovs range and started to read him better.
His foot work improved. I knew what had happened earlier in the fight and I had money on Kov and as the rounds went on I could see it edging away from Kov. I don't like Wards style but I do admire how he grinds out wins.
Whether that's adjusting or just finding his way in to the fight is another matter.

Green k. Probably the #1 hallmark of a bullshitter in a boxing conversation.

But if you look at round 10 and round 12 Kovalev used his jab back and landed at Ward at will. In the 12 round was closer because WArd was able to answer but the stiff jab and the combinations Kovalev landed when Ward was trying to rush in to get the inside gets the nod. Ward was ineffective in those rounds and got Whitewashed in 1,2,3,4,6.

he adjusted to kovalev gassing a bit in the second half of the fight that's about it, he grinded out a close victory that's it. hes slowing down, kov is strong as hell too, 2 world class boxers. great fight ive watched it 3 times already!

After getting only 1 round in round in the first 6 and loses 10 and 12 rounds is still called adjustments?

[therealpugilist]

he found a way to avoid the head locks and leaning on his neck by kovalev...found the space to get body shots in

once he got dropped, he moved counter clockwise to nullify the straight right and slip kov's jab and counter with his own

also, he nullified the headlocks by not moving in straight lines, and started moving laterally.

if you dont know what you're watching, you wont recognize the adjustments

instead of fighting him mid and long range, he started pushing kov back and forcing him to work when he usually catches a breath...he imposed his will
