Comments Thread For: Duva: Punch Stats Show Kovalev Beat Andre Ward

[Cinci Champ]

funny all the slow motion people usually arguing are not mentioning that a lot shots kov got credit for didnt even actually land when u watch in slow motion. Also alot of the rounds kov won he won big time and ones ward won he barely pulled alot those rounds out so him winning the overal punch stats is not a surprise

[HanzGruber]

Anyone using punch stats to determine a winner is a certified noob

Kov won round 10 and you could give him 12 as well....bottom line is the judges gave Ward EVERY close round which you don't see often. They must have liked something he did just a bit more than what Kov was doing.... While not a robbery I think the wrong guy got a very close decision. Good. Wes we will see the rematch in probably 6 months... Ward showed he has a great heart coming back from that KO early and Kovalev showed he can fight neck and neck with the best in the world. Look forward to the rematch.

... don't look forward for this one...

Kovalev to me and Merchant Kov. gave Ward a lesson in boxing.

Exactly, punch stats only matters when their guy loses.

So are you going on record saying a rematch won't happen?

[Metho_4u]

Kovalev landed more power shots in almost every single round.

Ward only out jabbed kovalev in round 7 and 8 and im talking 2 more jabs each round. half of wards jabs were touch jabs literally.

I changed my stance on round 11. Kovalev won that round.

Its as if kovalev got not credit for short rt hands and right uppercuts .

Kovalev is gonna beat ward again in the rematch.

Firstly, Kovalev lost the fight. Go look at the record for clarification, secondly, history shows that the boxer many times adjusts better, and wins a wider decision. Ward's got kovalevs number now. Ward is a better technical fighter, has a better boxing brain, and still has many tricks he didn't show in this fight. What will Kovalev do when he has a refund that warns him for using headlock all night and starts to get points taken from him? All of the people b1tching about Ward being dirty REALLY need to watch Kovalev in this fight. Kovalev is afraid of Ward on the inside and can only fight well at a distance.

Kovalev to me and Merchant Kov. gave Ward a lesson in boxing.

That's a boxing lesson to you? Lol the guy lost the fight and he gave Ward a boxing lesson...lol you're dumb dude.

I think kovalev won but for a russian to beat an american boxer in las vegas has to be very convincing, sad but true, kovalev was comfortably ahead after 6, took the foot off the gas and gave the judges a chance to rob him, next time with ward being the champion, he' have to ko him to win

You're logic is idiotic here, you said Kovalev was ahead, but took his foot off the gas (actually HE gassed) and allowed the judges to rob him? Wouldn't that be just actually saying, he gassed and let Ward back into the fight which is why he lost? Tell me how that is in any way, anyone's fault but Kovalevs?
