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

[The Big Dunn]

punchstats also show Mayweather dominated Manny..but the same posters who are now slamming Ward didnt care about that

LMFAO!! I was looking for the slow motion video experts but they can't be found.

round 10 was close, it was kov highest output vs ward highest accuracy

Ward was doing well early towards the end Kovalev finished strong won it

[KingHippo]

I had the same rounds compubox did and gave the third to Kovalev even though Ward outlanded him for being the aggressor. I also had the exact same card as Judge McCall.

yup, my issue is when ppl try to argue for rounds 7-9, those were all ward, outlanded and outworked kov. and also round 3 i gave to ward as well.

I think iTS very unfair to kov that for the fiurst time ko]v didn't totally dominate his opponenent either by ko or widely outpoinng like he did bh. They find an excuse to rib kov.

Kov shouldn't have to be out under pressuyre to ko everyone or win every round!
The first time an opponent doesn't totally get annihilated they takje advantage and rib kov.

Rounds 7-9 without a doubt Ward won those rounds.Round 3 I gave to Ward

Why are people acting as if Kovalev completely outlanded Ward? He outlanded him by 10 total punches. Not 20 not 30. 10... and all the people saying "all ward did was jab"... ok, so suddenly the most used and important punch in boxing counts for nothing? Come on. The rounds kovalev won he dominated. Ward squeaked out every round he won. 5 dominant rounds (plus a knockdown) was edged by 7 not so dominant ones.

Ward was inspiring but Kovalev was the victor.
If Andrew Fonfara had performed in the same manner as Andre, he would not have been given the nod.
The judges crafted a feel good, end of year, American tale at the expense of the Russian.

Kovalev Ward 2 will be like Mayweather Castillo 2.

[Weltschmerz]

At this point, more or less every sane person would agree Kovalev won decisively.
