    Kovalev-Ward Tenth Round Breakdown

    One aspect he pointed out that has been overlooked is Ward's punches to the back. Like he said, those aren't scoring punches. Also, when HBO pans the camera right to his mother after the round, haha. Priceless...

    This is good proof that sometimes it's best to watch fights with the sound off. In this fight, the commentary and ridiculous cheers for anything Ward did were big distractions.

      Look at it from this angle, and I gave this round to Kovalev, is this really an easy round for the judges to score?

      I think NOT

        Yeah man, I have no favoritism for either fighter.

        I honestly believe round 10 should be given to Kovalev.

        Round 12 should be scored even. Both men were equal there.

        The fight should either be 114-113 for Kovalev or 114-114 draw.

          -2:18 Ward lands an uppercut to start off the round, he calls it blocked
          -3x Jabs for Kovalev, good jabs
          -Clean jab by Ward
          -Big body shot by Ward "Illegal shot to the back didn't count", that landed on his side, clean body shot.
          -2x good jabs by Kovalev
          -Partially blocked jab hits Ward's forehead, Kov follows it with a left hook clearly hits Ward's right t****zius as Ward turns. Pause at 4:57 it's planted right on there.
          -Ward lands another vicious body shot, "doesn't count" lmao, Kov fans are really something else. Another clean body shot dismissed.

          Kov landed very few quality jabs that round, each time he did Ward responded with the harder, cleaner shots.

              Kov fans be like "HUGE left hand by Kovalev!"



              Can Kovalev fans stop acting like this shot landed already? It's clear it didn't, if you weren't so biased you'd have seen he was missing a lot.

                Ward's arms aren't even long enough to to hit Kovalev's back from those angles, I swear common sense is lost with some people.

                For the record, most of the solid punches that round came from Ward, it's only because of Ward getting touched by the jab more frequently than I liked that has me giving it to Kovalev.

                It's not a clear Kovalev round at all and you can see that the judges preferred the harder shots. Ward showboated because he knew he was having a lot of success in that round and maybe to him, as well as the judges, those Kovalev jabs were not solid enough.

                  Still have this round EVEN while fans are doing their best to sway fans one way or the other...EVEN!

                  You're reaching "PUNCH TO THE BACK" though? So no HBO was Pro WARD all of sudden?

                    It's a freaking clear round for kovalev. Anybody who see differently doesn't have a credible opinion. It's pointless to argue
