Great to hear that, as i hope he gives Kovalev a rematch.

In post #5 of this thread you posted:



You haven't given Ward credit for winning yet you question the actions of people solely because they are black (while you have them on ignore )?

Shameful and disgraceful.

But Ward didn't win.

Most people thought Kovalev won the fight.

Even you said you scored it for Kovalev by 114-113, which considering your bias means he must have won by at least 116-111 or 117-110.

Klitschko has never has a controversial decision win in his career, and he won't receive any favors from the judges and ref in the UK.

So you went into the thread and deleted post #5 to try and hide. Very cowardly.

Ward won the fight on the judges cards. You should be adult enough to handle the loss.

kovlev has been babied even though he fought in the otherr guys country in the uk, canada, and the US while ward had every single super six fight at home while froch had to fight in 4 countries

kovalev had 10 roudns to adjust, why would he have to adjust when he was winning, landing more punches, and landing the cleaner more damaging shots?

american media makes excuses for kovalev? they said he looked bad against chilemba but got the win. ward looked like dog sh-it against bika and against kessler but i remember everyone saying it was a great breakout performance, i saw ward clinching and headbutting over and over yet the american media said a new start was born and it was great.

only adjustments, sergei kovalev has to do with Andre Ward, in a rematch, is snap Andre Ward's head back to the left a little more with the jab, instead of always snapping it back, to the right. Lol

ward's lowblow body work was discombobulatingly devastating.

Great news, this is the fight boxing needs!

Sucks that most don't know either and both guys are elite in my book!

Sergey can box very well and has good IQ and one of the best jabs in boxing not to mention his power while Ward has loads of top level experience, ring IQ, showed lots of heart an toughness, great chin, and is a very versatile fighter!

2nd fight will be close as well and can't wait!!

Ward vs Kovalev 2!!!!!!!!!!!

"bad training habits"

the only thing I agree with ward. kov needs to lighten up if he wants to continue to grow and improve. during his fight with ward, it was funny how his trainer was just there to wipe his face off and give him some water lol.

Bad habits outside the ring, such as?

ward may never fight on premium cable again. i really believe that. the guy will only take easy tune ups on hbo, which i think HBO will realize now don't build ward into a ppv star, or massive PPV purses. golovkin and kovalev are the big ones.

that's just me reading between the lines when he says that he will only focus on kovalev. ppv or nothing. wave a 2 million dollar tune up in fornt of him and he might bite, but hbo knows that won't pay the bills down the road.


i'm actually starting to think the golvokin fight happens in a year and a half or so. kovalev was unkown that fight lost money. golovkin is a bigger star than ward is. much more casual / crossover fanbase. ward - golovkin may sell half a million ppv, and it's certainly less of a risk to fight what looks like an aging middleweight than it is to fight a LHW of equal ability and in his prime

Ward-Golovkin doing that kind of PPV number would surprise the hell out of me. I'm not even sure Alvarez-Golovkin could do half a million anymore.
