It's very difficult to further your post as you've seen the same fight I and the judges saw and 25 percent of unbiased boxing writers saw.
The funniest part here is Ward be the clinching when the only dude initiating clinches was Sergey 'I don't want to fight and be out worked on the inside Klincher' Kovalev. I was truly disappointed he did not make more of a fight of it in an area I expected him to make Ward feel his power and strength, instead he wilted and gave the inside edge to Ward when he was not initiating his new found talent of the 'Klinch'.
You're right no adjustments were made whatsoever, I tagged Santa Cruz as one dimensional for not making any adjustments against Frampton last year, thankfully he watched the fight back and made the adjustments in sparring and training to showcase what he can really do when relying on basic boxing talent as opposed to face first cumbersome high intensity punch throwing at nothing but an elusive target too elusive to pin. I want to see the same commitment from Kovalev in making it an interesting rematch having learned from his first loss, a deserved loss.
I also agree Kovalev was disheartened by his inability to just rely on his power and not showcase boxing talent he has also become recognised to have alongside one of the hardest punches in the sport pound for pound. I do rate the guy highly still I just question his mental fortitude against elite opposition such as Ward, I however believe Ward will always have his number due to the fact he just simply as a superior boxing brain and a superior coach.
Their is only one way Kovalev beats Ward and that's with Virg in his corner and we all know who's corner Virg is gonna be in come the summer.
It seems like Ward's always involved in fights where there's a lot of wrestling and holding. Are you saying the other fighters are always holding Ward and Andre wants a clean fight with no clinches?

Originally posted by _Maxi View PostThey are biased. Just look at round 3. Ward wrestles Kovalev, grabs him by his legs. WTF. But Kovalev clinched... yeah right.
Andre did better with the brawling tactics but doing better doesn't mean you win rounds.

Kovalev has no doubts he won. Why should he? He did win and the big majority of fight fans and boxing writers think he won in the polls. Ward needs to shove his questions and honer the rematch contract he signed or retire if he is afraid.

If you did not...refrain from posting in the thread be
Its been 3 months...let the butthurt subside....kovalev lost and instead of making excuses like he did for his performance vs Chilemba, he needs to take responsibility for his shortcomings and go to the drawing board and see what he can change n adapt to get his titles back.
I know you wanted him to win but he can definitely do Better in a rematch if he is honest with himself about what he can do better

Never seen Ward talk so much over a win he calls not his toughest fight even though won only by a round or 2 on all judges scorecards in which most thought he didn't do enough to take the champions belts away!
Body blows or the jab
Clinch the neck to protect face from incoming head
Will vs will

You want to ask what do I do? I raise a little boy by myself, with no help from his mother, no child support, no government support, nothing. I'm there to show him how to be a man, how to get up every day and go to work, how to take care of a family. That, in the bigger scheme of things, is a whole lot more important than lacing up gloves and getting in a fight, mate

I don't need to know your details nor do I care. I find it rather funny that you came in here calling Ward, who fought Kovalev, a p*ssy and at the same time have the nerves to talk about people hiding behind a monitor/phone screen.
