Dwyer on Kovalev-Ward - he tells the truth without nationalistic bias!

[ausfightfan]

Who the hell are those people. Anybody here recognise them?

Dwyer said some of the realest **** ever around the 33 minute mark I think. He said just because Ward did better in the 2nd half doesn't mean he swept the 2nd half of the fight. Which is so true. People get caught up in that when they're scoring fights. When one fighter is so dominant early on, as Kovalev was, just because he's not as dominant later in the fight doesn't mean that Ward has 'solved him' or is winning those rounds.

You made some good points in your post, the second half of the fight Ward performed better but that doesn't mean he won all those rounds, I personally score the fight to Kovalev, I scored it to him by 2 points. I also thought it was a close fight, certainly not a robbery but the wrong man got the nod in my opinion.

I respect Dwyer's opinion even though I think it is wrong. This comes as no surprise as I've stated in an earlier post, that most boxing experts like: Boxers, former Boxers, trainers and even some movers and shakers in the sport like promoters and managers all had Andre Ward winning the fight.

While on the other hand, most members of the Boxing media, many of whom are biased all had dogs in the race; Especially here in the U.S. Like: Larry Merchant, Jim Lampley, Harold Lederman, Max Kellerman, the staff at HBO's PPV boxing and also, newspaper sports columnists, the printing press, boxing commentators, analysts, bloggers and websites all had Kovalev winning the fight.

So this doesn't in the least bit surprise me that a member of the boxing media, who looks to sway public perception and opinion with his sports book betting, will give an editorial favoring Sergey, whether not his motives are genuine and insincere is questionable.

However, it's all a trend and the irony is most of these so-called boxing media members have not once in their lives laced up a pair of boxing gloves or even sparred in a gym.

There's plenty of fighters and trainers who scored the fight for kovalev...probably more than scored it for ward. There's also members of the media who scored it for ward. The majority of people scored the fight for kovalev...that encompasses all groups.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel here...

Dwyer was Andre Wards lawyer at one time during Wards contractual hiatus, Dwyer was never able to get Ward off his contract and got canned by Ward.

Without nationalistic bias means "he agrees with me" apparently.

You're not being honest. I quoted one of your posts at the time. A now that post and all the rest of your posts in that thread are magically missing.

He's even worse than I thought. Wow that is incredibly embarrassing.

Well if all that's true, then Dwyer has a dog in this race after all. It means he's bias against Andre Ward.

This pretty much epitomizes it ^^^^

Andy Lee, Mathew Macklin, Sakio Bika, Billy Dib, Tony Bellew, Audley Harrison, Paul Smith Jnr, Jean Pascal, Erislandy Lara, Khalid Yafai, and James Degale

Not including the vast amount of American boxers who though Ward won.
