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

[fvanesbeck]

Kovalev really needs to stop talking **** now. He's entitled to believe that he should have won the fight, but he didn't. No matter who anyone thinks won, Ward actually won. He's not going to achieve anything by whining about it in the media every day other than embarrassing himself.

The boxing media keep asking him the same damn questions and BScene keeps posting the same damn articles. He doesn't think he lost (and neither do I), so he's going to keep saying the same damn thing.

I disagree with the statement that it's better to lose than win the way Ward did... If Kov did leave it in the gym, then that's bad on him and his team. However, I think those body shots had more to do with him fading later in the fight than over-training. We'll see in the rematch though. Ward has been saying that Kov's fitness wasn't on his level from the get go. Kov lacking the juice later in the fight wasn't that much of a shocker. I think this is more fight hype and trash talk. I usually don't care for that, but I think both Kov and Ward do it in a good, subtle way that get under the skin just enough to draw me in. LOL. Also, they both have earned the right to talk trash. Most of the boxers nowadays have had limited success in the ring and run off at the mouth like they're chasing GOAT status. I can dig what both camps are doing. I'm buying the rematch.

This is the only reasonable post I have read so far. Good on you man

Keeps jabbing Ward, like it.

He makes some pretty nuanced remarks too. Like for example overdoing certain things in camp/training. Ward is clearly not a better boxer than Sergey and he could have outboxed him (which he also did, only he was robbed of the W) just like he did Hopkins.

Ward is not the mayweather some delusional people thought he was and he looked ordinary with Kovalev. His best wins were Froch and Kessler and he was an extraordinary fighter back then, no doubt.

can't keep thinking had that punch (in your sig) landed absolutely clean/ not with his wrist bending up like that, Ward would never have recovered.

It wasn't a robbery. It was a close fight that could've gone either way and Ward won the fight. It's much better to win a close fight then to lose so he's wrong.

Fair enough, but I think old Vince may have said it best...


And, Andre clawed his way back to victory. It's childish to attack him for the decisions of the judges. Andre fought like a champ. Can't expect anything more.

getting a gift is clawing back his way back to victory? he didn't do much, it was all the judges.... if that's fighting like a champ, you have low expectations

the dude is a fanboy, logic and reason go out the window when he's passionately typing for his loverboy and american hero ward.

What if the counter right that Ward was throwing had been a little quicker and landed flush as well? There wouldn't have been a knock down. What if......smh

This ***** won't stop crying.

Kovalev is a little ***** hasn't stopped crying since he lost.

they're just trying to needle Ward

He's talking up the rematch. Needle sells fights, as does a disgruntled loser dis*****g and refusing to accept a close decision..
