    Oh that shouty old boy. Sorry i'm not from the states so not really up on who's who in terms of US commentators.

      He's one of my 10 favorite fighters in boxing right now.
      Same here. Other than me blasting on Freedom late sat night after the fight, I've just kept away from him, Guererro's Dad, Mr. Objectivity, etc. etc.

        Kovalev might be as hard as it gets in boxing to beat at distance. His timing and distance control are terrific. His power makes anyone reluctant to enter exchanges with him, because he just needs to land one good shot to get the better of it.

        Shutting out Hopkins and then outboxing Ward at range is really impressive.

He looked even uglier, like a mouldy tomato after 12! Only in Vegas.. Thought Ward was this un-hittable slick G?
          If you really think Kov outboxed Andre, then please refrain from driving and all other activities until you've had an eye examination.

            all 3 judges gave the 10th to ward. thats simply not possible and makes no sense. they did this because they knew ward needed every round to win. boxing is very silly.

              WAHggum, I think I gave Kov the 10th. I had him winning 114-113. I can see either Kov 115-112 or Ward 114-113.

                I'll get behind Andre in the queue then. Those dark glasses were masking Kovalevai fistus Glaucomas..

                  For the first 4 rounds yeah but its a 12 round fight, either way it went no fighter was dominant it was 2 great fighters and a great chess match, kov is better than what people think but he lost a close fight n faded as the rounds went. Props to both fighters. Especially ward who went up and fought the monster of the division. Great night

                    It was a stitch up politcal job. Probably had betting edges to it too..

                      man that 10th round was so hard to score, all the judges gave it to ward I think but it was 2 hard to score.
