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

[meme_man]

Even Kovalev's failure is somehow Mayweather's fault.

[CHOWWOKKA]

How come dirty tactics only.matter when used by Floyd or Ward but when Maidana does it it goes over looked.

Of course he did. Thats why floyd needed that rematch. Anytime he was given a gift, he went to the rematch to redeem himself. Because even deep down, he knew he lost.

Nah, not really.

It's because the fights were close and could have gone either way a rematch was warranted.

[IronDanHamza]

I don't care what anyone says: Maidana wooped his ass the first time.

He might have whooped his ass in spots and had good success and did some good damage but he lost the fight (very close)

[IronDanHamza]

trolls aside, when you have posters saying, "it was close" "it could have gone either way" or "i can make a case for kovalev winning too", that's their way of saying: "yeah, they fucking robbed him, we know it but since we were cheering for the other guy we don't give a fuck lol"

Or maybe they're saying it was close?

Why do you refuse to admit the fight was close when basically every single scorecard from press row was close and a quarter of them had Ward winning?

And your logic is flawed because I was cheering for Kovalev.

It was a close fight and plenty of people feel that way, it's just that simple man.

We've got some seriously emotional posters here.

I notice a certain demographic always tried to obfuscate from a bout by bringing up irrelevant points. Floyd landed at a Much higher connect percentage and had cleaner more effective shots than Kovalev. So even with Maidana's pristine body work he was still vastly outmatched.

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

Simple, a lot of the early fight was spent feeling each other out.

Anyone could see those body shots diminished a lot of Kovalev's power and hand speed later on. Not to mention he was looking a bit winded at certain points like when he fell under the ropes. It also significantly cut into his ability to cut the ring off which even Roy mentioned.

Guess it had nothing to do with Kovalev being a power puncher outworking and wrestling Ward the entire fight. Them power jabs to the body doe.

It's called making dirty looking clean.

Surround dirty tactics with boxing technique in a skillful way and what can they say?

Hopkins did that for a long time.

Kovalev ain't no saint with the chokehold. Lmao.
