Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Forget Decision, I Want a Knockout in Ward Rematch!

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

yeah kov tried to clinch ward in response because ward likes to clinch then throw punches off the clinch which is illegal but the ref never did anything about it. i dont know where in the rules it says clinching is ok if you throw punches after clinching. its just wrestling. ward couldn't match kovalev in boxing so he clinched in order to prevent kov from hitting him, then manuevered himself so he could throw that "body work" now that manuevering takes skill but unfortunately its not legal because this is not wrestling its boxing.

so after months of complaining about clinching you now justify it????????

Flash knockdown? Yeah I agree. Also, have to give props to Marquez for scoring that nice flash knockout in your sig against Pac. Lmao.

This is how boxing corruption ****s up everything. Now Kovalev feels he can't just school Ward the way he did the first fight, now he feels like the judges will screw him no matter what, so he has to push for a knockout, which may play into Ward's hands. Everything was set up for Ward to win and he still lost.

By the way you act like Ward got caught once with a fluke punch and nothing else happened. You didn't see Ward stumbling from a jab in one round? Then he bullrushed Kovalev and grabbed him, and the ref took 10 seconds to break them, and then held Kovalev back another 5 seconds and warned him to give Ward more time.

Seriously just watch it, and tell me the ref wasn't in Ward's corner from round 1 trying to give him more time to recover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...s_LqQzlc#t=324

RJJ also said Kovalev hurt him in the 12th to the body. So Ward gets hurt in 25% of the rounds even with the ref helping him, but you try to downplay it to one flash knockdown. Typical Ward fan hypocrisy. 8-4 Kovalev.

What he is saying is that Ward is such a f a g that he went down on a slap ***** hit.

It is the obvious !!!

For PAC to beat Mayweather he has to KO him

For Perez to beat Hooker he has to knock him out

For Kov to beat Andre he has to knock him out !!!!

Do you see the trend ??

Loool @ you sneaking Pac in there thinking we wouldn't notice.... he lost comfortably and doesn't have any claim to being robbed. He should follow Floyd and retire.

Kovalev said in the post fight interview that he didn't want a short fight.

He tried to Hopkins- Ward just to prove how he could outbox the sht out of a supposed monster boxer. I also noticed that Kovalev was going easy on Ward and let him survive, since watching the interview I don't think it was a coincidence.

Looool what nonsense, what was he trying to do after the fight resumed following the knockdown when he was throwing all those punches??

He didn't want a short fight against Chilemba because he needed rounds to get ready for Ward, so who is he getting ready for by purposely not finishing Ward. He didn't get the knockout because he HAS to pace himself and Ward has good defence and survival instincts.

that was a perfectly timed right hand, ward was looking to counter but kovs right hand is on another level, gotta give kov credit for that one nobody should down play it.

i think you're doing chilemba a disservice. he took kovalev's right hand away just as well as ward did for most of that fight

Kovalev needs another venue away from the USA for Ward

Kovie the Commie ain't getting a decision over Ward in the USA and in the land of Freedom. Now a KO of Ward seals the deal but Ward is hard to KO. Ward is just better. Deal with it.

Ward is a skilled boxer with vast experience over 12 rounds so Kovalev cant beat him via decision unless Knockout.Kovalev has to take a risk and pursue Ward throughout the fight should the rematch come on.This will also expose Kovalev to Ward's counter punches.

No I'm just repeating what Kovalev fans and his team said after the fight.

Chilemba got to the final bell because he had really good defence and chin coupled with Kovalev tiring, not because Kovalev needed rounds. I'm guessing he was purposely trying to look less impressive than usual. I'm not one of those shills that buys the "he wanted rounds" excuse whenever a power puncher doesn't score a knockout victory. I remember for Pacquaio it was "he didn't want to knock him out" or "he felt sorry for him"...... it's all nonsense.

I know, i was joking.
These Ward guys are just insane and they know they lost that fight.
