Comments Thread For: Kovalev: It's Better To Lose Than Win The Way Andre Ward Did

[ThatDude44]

Ok, like Mayweather and McGregor. I'm to the point of -just fight or STFU. Same with Ward and Kovalev, Wars won a close fight but they both need to have the rematch or STFU. All this bickering from both sides was old a month ago.

He should decline to discuss the matter any further, what is done can't be undone, so why even bother rehashing it. The way Pacquiao handled the Bradley fight is the way fighter's should handle a robbery with class and grace. Kovalev got robbed, but it wasn't worst than the Hooker fight and many others. He should move on and focus on winning the rematch even more convincingly. If he can't get that he should eye Stevenson and the real light heavyweight title.

So youre saying the judges where right? He admits that HE faded in the later rounds, his trainer admits he faded in the later rounds, so the 3 judges saw the same thing, and judged it as such.....proves that the fanboys saw a different fight than that of kovalev, his trainer, and three professional judges that judged it the same way.
It like when Mayweather beat Pac, all the commentators, the professional boxing judges, and even Roach admitted that he thought Floyd won, but the fanboys saw a different fight, now they want to use punch-stats. lol Now its a good thing to be a loser... He's blamed his coach, the judges, and now himself, and blames judges for seeing what he saw and judging it accordingly...

I think he's trying to say he overestimated ward...not underestimated, so he over trained i guess. Chilemba actually had better success than ward but he isn't as good as ward at nullifying his opponent.

Not quite as much success because Ward walked away with the titles.

Best thing about the punch stats is that outside of the 2nd round, the total punches landed are about the same but Kovalev threw a lot more punches which made Ward the more efficient boxer throughout the fight.

Rematch is needed because Ward won on paper but Kovalev won in The Ring.....rematch asap....at the end of the fight ward looked beat up

Apples and oranges, because now you're saying Ward is as standup as Bradley was. The perception of the outcome ate away at Bradley and prompted him to rematch. Can the same be said against Ward? Bradley said, let's do it again, then....Ward has mentioned potential retirement.
Kovalev has mentioned moving on in interviews. The problem isn't him pushing an agenda. The problem is people asking him about it. Is he supposed to say, "next question" when people ask him about it. It's a fresh wound. And it's a loss that is still actively up for possible rematch by contract. So, yes, the rematch, AND the reasoning AND opinions by those involved are fair game.
What has Ward talked about since the decision? The decision and Kovalev. He hasn't moved on. If anyone should be doing that it should be him. He's the declared winner by judgment, so he needs to look at the next challenge (whomever it may be). But is he doing that? Maybe, but all we hear is him talking about Kovalev and the decision.

Lol!!!!
Sergey "tittie boy" Kovalev
He is starting to sound as crazy as khan

Kovalev is also quoted as saying Ward won 4 rounds at most. By that math, he would be saying he believes he won the fight regardless. Most of the "excuses" are said against why the fight went the distance, not necessarily against the outcome.

But he didn't get robbed, he lost a close fight
