Why come bodyshots made the difference for ward, but when Maidana beat floyds body,

[NEETzsche]

Kovalev slowed as a result of the body shots, Mayweather didn't

kovalev slowed in the chilemba fight too

[Larry the boss]

your forgetting a crucial point, maidans body work was hard shots with weight behind them. Wards had no weight behind them, were more like jabs to the body than anything. I wouldnt even bother to defend a ward jab to the body lol, hardly going to hurt is it.

wtf does that have to do with scoring points in boxing?

They clearly affected Kovalev some. He slowed considerably.

Your "point" is basically the opposite of crucial.

It's very simple. Maidana never hurt Floyd to the body. Let alone landed anything of significance flush on him. As Mayweather would block and parry most of those punches with his shoulders, elbows and biceps.

On the other hand, Ward did hurt Kovalev to the body flush. Sergey would often wince from pain because of them. He once even backed the Krusher up and doubled him over from the body shots he landed.

Kovalev total punches rounds 1-6=216
Kovalev total punches rounds 7-12=258

try again.

no explanations. just insults. from floyd apologists?

Sooo.... Everyone who said Maidana beat Floyd is now in full agreement that Ward won. Good, glad we cleared that up.

Lol THIS is all that needs to be said.

Every fight isn't the same. Can't just say but so and so did this so why didn't he win?

Op is a moron who said ward was gonna retire and is making excuses

[frantic fighter]

Cause mayweather is black

Actually most African Americans are less than 3/4 black due to slavery.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

For starters, Mayweather didn't slow where as Kovalev did and as a result ended up losing most of the second half. Bad comparison really...

so you do judge damage afterall? well I'll be damn, I wonder who got more damage in the ward vs kovaelv fight

i imagine it was the wrestling that tired kovalev outmore than wards tippy tappy punches. so ward cant crack an egg power wise when he hits to the chin, but apparantly his body shots are like sledgehammers? Do me a favour lol. Was hardly solid, consistent body work was it.

cause a solid hurtful shot should score more points than those with no weight behind it.
