Ward vs Kovalev Dirty Tactics initiated by Andre Ward.

[RussB23]

He actually counter-clinched.

Don't rush in head first and hold at the waist and you dont get headlocked.

The one responsible for the clinching is the one initiating it.

Guess povetkin and maidana were also responsible for wlad and floyd clinching them lol. Damn just ****ing admit he clinched you kov nuthuggers its not that bad. Holy **** you guys are in denial.

You get here some Billy goat tactics from Andre Ward and one of the greatest low blow fighters in the sport of boxing.

Good video.

The irony in these takes are amazing. When Povetkin kept rushing in against Wlad all we heard about was Klitschko holding. When Maidana bullrushed Floyd in the first fight, you had folks screaming about how he'd really beat Mayweather and was robbed.

So what happens?

Ward employs the tactic better and more cleanly than either guy and gets held a record 54 times because of it and somehow it's Andre's fault? Somehow, being repeatedly put in a reverse headlock before anything else can happen is Andre holding?

Ok, if you say so...

This is it in a nutshell. Good post.

Thanks.

You know it's suspect when posters are inconsistent from fighter to fighter.

"Wait! Kovalev spoiled Andre's clinch! So Kovalev held andre Ward." - Ward fans.

Kovalev getting criticized for manipulating Andre's holding to his advantage...only with boxing fans.

But really I don't think any Ward fan, after all these fights, could accuse Ward of being a clean fighter. So nothing new here. That third round run and grab by Ward did make me laugh...dude looked like a crazed bull.
