So true. Ward got a gift. Hope we see the rematch in march already. Boxing needs to rescue the momentum after the disastrous decision of the first fight.
Hopefully all this banter going on between the lads draws a lot more interest from the regular sport fans because 160000 ppv buys is absolutely pitiful for a fight of this magnitude regardless of previous ppv exploits. Kathy Duva & Roc Nation should be ashamed of themselves! You can't sell this fight? Give me a job!
I was wondering why nobody brought this up before. I noticed it right away when they announced he was the winner. He knew he lost that fight and he definitely looked surprised from the announcement.
Krusher sure is a sore loser. Look at both their faces after the final bell. Ward looked confident and Kov knew he lost. But hey, why be a man and accept that Ward was the better fighter that night, when you can cry and whine? Kov is still ducking Superman anyway! Stevenson would ko Kov, but Ward is much smaller. Which is worse, getting ko'd by someone your own size or losing to a much smaller opponent? Kov chose the second choice. Instead of crying, he should be trying to learn how to fight on the inside. Whenever they got close Ward would unload on Kov's body and Kov would just try and hold Ward and hug him, leaning on Ward trying to wear him out. Except it backfired because Ward nailed his body over and over, and Kov was falling down from exhaustion by the end of the fight. If Kov would work on his inside game, he could be a top fighter some day. The world wants to see Ward-Stevenson now. I gotta lean towards Ward winning, but wouldn't be shocked if Superman won.
The one Russian on the undercard that beat Chilemba looked far more impressive than Krusher did. Maybe he could fight Kovalev where the winner will be relevant. Maybe even earn a fight with the Ward-Stevenson winner.
