Ward vs kovalev full fight video from inside the arena

[Redd Foxx]

You can see it connecting with his head

The power is diffused when it connects on the glove. Same when a fighter like he or Floyd catch a shot on the shoulder and the fist grazes off the head. The glove toughing the head after is of no consequence because the power behind it is gone.
The other guy wanted to call it part of a "good sequence". That is not a good punch, it's a blocked punch.

This is really basic stuff, guys.

Well it landed. And a long with the other two shots and the missed counter from Ward Id say that constitutes a reasonably good sequence for Kovalev.

The punch came in above(thus high on the head) and slightly behind the glove, partially blocked, partially landed (more landed than blocked). Bloody nuthuggers.



Ward's head and neck sure absorbed a lot of force for a diffused, blocked punch. I wonder why the first right hand didn't have the same effect.

Only two shots landed.

3 landed.....if you know anything about boxing, you know the ones that were partially diminished buried into Wards face. it was no winky wright deflecting block, it was i managed to barely put my hand there so it doesnt do full damage but my own hand is crushing my face right now and the punch broke through.

this solidfies my point man.....beacuse its ward and floyd and guys with that status,you guys give them every benefit....oh he blocked that......smh

if your counting behind the ear/top of the head as an illegal shot, how about the fact that a lot of wards body punches were rolled and diminished by kovalev and grazed off his back.....the kidney zone by the way(just as borderline)

Which means that, it's not a quality punch.
Little tip; when you try to insult someone in every post, it doesn't bother me, it just serves to let everyone know that you're the frustrated one.

Bottom line, whether you think Kovalev landed 2 or 3 shots he won that exchange. Basic enough? We could also post exchanges where Ward CLEARLY hits & gets the better of Sergey. All I'm saying is that those clips don't tell the entire story of the fight so it's really not a big deal guys. Sergey didn't dominate the entire fight, neither did Andre.

If that wasn't a quality punch then Ward definitely didn't win, because you might as well discount his body shots as they did less damage than that right hand.

when you see a partially blocked shot that pushed the block aside and buried through the guard and think it doesn't count, that shows you haven't boxed a day in your life and that you're biased. There's quality to a block as well. You see Ward defend and you just want to assume he's not taking damage. This is why you're in the vast vast minority of opinion regarding this fight...

Yea, I agree with you, fully. I commented on some thing that was called a "good sequence" and that guy lost his shyt. I could find much better sequences where Kovalev laid it on Andre. Coincidentally, one of the best punches of the fight was shortly after that sequence where Ward really snapped Sergey's head back and the arena went crazy.

There was a lot of back and forth. The bulk of the eye-catching work was from Kovalev. The clever, quick stuff was largely Ward.

The reason I know that a punch like that is not quality is because I've taken many of them. If you're so insecure that you're trying to pull rank about who has boxed or not, but then to refer to the popular opinion to boost your view, tells me that you're not worth listening to in the first place.
In fact, I'm now suspect if you've ever boxed since those without experience are usually the first to try to brag about it online.
