Comments Thread For: Ward: We Got Grimy, We Got Dirty, Slowly Took Kovalev's Heart

[PunchyPotorff]

if that happens..... then I will congratulate Kovalev for achieving something that he failed to do in the first fight but, that is unlikely imho..... I said that the first fight will go to a decision, and that a Ward decision was the most likely outcome..... and I definitely feel that the rematch will unfold the same way, with Ward winning a close fight could be wrong already looking forward to it

Alright we'll hold you to it, but I'm sure you or some of the other Ward fanboys will come up with some excuses... he was sick... broken toe... argument with wife.... had to poop... no one respects him so he was sad... didn't win at Lotto last Saturday.... it was raining outside.... whatever...

Bottom line is, Kovalev won, the fight was fixed for the golden medal winner to be launched, and he's getting thrashed next fight. And if it goes the other way, legit, then I'll admit it. But this past Saturday was a robbery, plain and simple.

not me bro

I think that Ward was underdone for that fight and will be much sharper/stronger in the rematch, especially after those 12 tough rounds and another camp with Mackie Shilstone..... but I make no excuses for that somewhat-lucky victory

I also think that Ward will make better adjustments in the rematch, and will likely pull out some new looks for that fight.

I think Ward edged that fight, but I have no problem with anyone saying they think Kovalev won..... the best result would have been a draw, simply so that Kovalev could keep his titles.

But you are crazy calling that a robbery, straight up......that was far too close to regard as a robbery, I suggest that you watch the fight again.

If Kovalev had gotten the nod, a LOT of fans/insiders would be questioning the decision.

Kovalev failed to put Ward away when he had him down..... Kovalev failed to get back on top after Ward started touching him up in the middle rounds..... Kovalev failed to finish strong..... and he failed to close out the championship rounds

oh, and he missed a LOT of punches

a draw would have been fine..... but, just saying ^^

See ya, friend.



I'll come back here any feking time I want bubba. You got a problem with that, go see our credit manager Helen Wate. Too bad your brain is so ****** up, or you'd be able to use normal thought processes to read what I wrote. Just another ee-diott Ward fanboy. What else do we expect?

You're insults are just as weak as your boxing knowledge....LAME

All this downplaying of Kovalev refusing to give him any credit is making me feel Ward isn't feeling having a rematch.

Whether Ward wants it or not it's in his contract.

he missed a LOT of punches, and that bodywork had an effect

Kovalev did miss some shots, but what's that got to do with it? Kovalev landed more punches than did Ward as well as the more telling shots. And that's all that matters.

Those slaps to the body didn't have any affect at all on Kov. But go ahead and try and convince yourself of that like most people are doing. It's nothing more than delusion you're going through.

that is why he was fatigued, despite throwing fewer punches than normal..... that combined with the fact that he had to go the full 12 rounds against an opponent who was fighting back..... which is a rarity for The Krusher

[aboutfkntime]

a draw would have been the best result, that way Ward could keep his undefeated record, Sergey could keep his titles, and we most likely still get a rematch.....

but, oh well..... moving on !

or not ?

Kovalev didn't miss enough punches to tire over the 12 rounds. It clearly was all the grappling. But if you want to convince yourself of that as well then go for it. It's not my problem you're making outlandish claims and suffer from delusion.

Good day to you.

he absolutely did !

Kovalev missed a TON of punches starting in the early rounds

that is damn tiring man, try it

also, very few of his landed punches hit cleanly, and a lot of those supposed landed punches hit arms, shoulders, glove..... I take no notice of compubox, because it is notoriously inaccurate
