Comments Thread For: Michael Buffer: I Saw Kovalev Beat Ward, Fight Lacked Action

[angkag]

Can't be compared to Canelo, he took the fight and beat a man that was supposed to kill him. If he do rematch and it goes to decision, KOV fans will still be bitter if Ward wins by decision again. So he will never get a fair shake against Kov.

'...Ward will never get a fair shake against Kovalev.....'

Priceless.

(oh, unless you meant he will always get a 'biased' shake, in which case, apologies for missing the subtlety and a high five)

Irrespective, his opinion remains the majority view.

My favourite comment on the entire fight went something like the following:

'.....Kovalev landed a bomb in round 2, NOONE gets up from that, but Ward did. Ward not only got up, he started fighting back under circumstances most would have wilted. It was inspirational, Ward showed courage and resolve sadly missing in the sport these days, boxing would be in a far better place if more showed that level of courage, determination and sheer will to win. So I gave Ward round 2 for going above and beyond under such adverse circumstance, but it was close....'

Just in case you think the writer was serious, he wasn't, just proving a point by using all the pro-Ward rhetoric to give him the second round as well, and it almost sounds plausible.

you are the only IDIOT that did. Hows it feel to be in a league all by yourself?

kenny bayless got so much **** for breaking up clinches during mayweather vs maidana 2.. now this ref allows ward and kovalev to brawl it out on the inside and he's getting blasted for it.. what is it that you guys want refs to do ?

I was just telling my wife last night that I hope he writes a book about the fights he has seen.

Ward did his best !

He did NOT beat Kov Wards best was not good enough !

Kov was robbed !

If Ward is a real man then he will abide the rematch contract and the find out the hard way that this was nothing more than Bradley PAC 1.

Kov will KO Ward by 9

[PAC-BOY]

really? because i heard him say "AND THE NEW LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD........ANDRE S.O.G. WARD"

Thats his job you ****** shlt. He has to read the cards despite what he thinks.

Somewhere under your flat bill hat and your sagging pants wearing ******ed ass you know who really won that fight.

How about the next time you get pulled over...DONT comply. And all of us will keep our fingers crossed.

After rewatching it Saturday night I had it 114-113 for Kov. It was a very close fight. There was a round, I think the 9th (not sure) that was si hard to judge. It could have gone either way but I gave it to Kov. Seriously there was no robbery. It was that close. Im a bit surprised not even 1 judge gave ir for Kov but hey...

[boxinggod101]

pac-tards and GGGoons and Kovalav fans are all garbage. to them pac and krusher are still undefeated. when GGG loses, they will say he was robbed, if he gets ko'd then the opponent is on peds or something.

these 3 fan bases are pieces of **** and cant admit that their fighters lost.

i love starting **** in person with these fan bases, because it only takes a couple mins to prove that they are new fans and dont know anything about boxing except like i always say "ducking ducking ducking ducking"

So every non black fighters fan?... Ur a **** poster my man.

No we can't let this one go. Its been a cancer in boxing for too long (hometown scoring bias). If we let it go it continues too easily, only way we can change it is if we don't let it go (and no guarantee then, but at least we are meeting our responsibilities of standing up to injustice).

If it was a robbery then I'd feel as strongly as you do. But I didn't see a robbery; that's way too strong a word for what happened. The Maurice Hooker fight(draw) before that was a clear robbery but I don't see you complaining about that.
