You don't know how close to the truth you just came.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.
If you watch the Sky broadcast of the fight, tune onto round 2 and just listen. It's horrible. Kovalev is landing lefts and rights and out jabbing the supposed boxer but the commentators are actually talking about Ward winning the round.
The KD happens and no one says anything for a bit and when the round ends, with Ward just running and trying to survive, the commentators actually say Ward would have won the round if it wasn't for the KD...
I'm not even joking when I say I turned to my bro and said, as early as the end of round 2, the fix may be in. After all we'd just sat through one robbery.Comment

Buffer should have known better than to expect an action fight.
Ward's style is to take away what his opponent does best. Ward's game is to disrupt, discourage and deny. He likes an ugly fight, where he can smother his opponent and avoid exchanges by jabbing and falling into a clinch.
Ward is undefeated so he'll continue with his unique style of fighting. You won't see a lot of clean punches or combinations in a Ward fight. If Buffer doesn't know Ward's game by now, he hasn't been paying attention.Comment

Dude, unless you have a blind spot, you'll read extremist comments from many different fanbases. There was a time not that long ago when Floyd's clone fanboys used to parrot every single thing he said, whether it was based on fact or not. And yes, even Pacquiao, Kovalev and Golovkin have a following that seem to be permanently wedged up their favorite fighters ******s.
You do the sum: hate x hate = ?Comment
