After Watching Kov Vs Ward For The 3rd Time...

[Cinci Champ]

Ya just shows how close it was I get different score every time I watch as we'll have gone back n fourth on winner few times. rematch will happen eventually wish they both would fight someone in between tho instead forcing the rematch right away.

Too often rematches are hurried and done right away sometimes I think it's better to wait a bit

that was wasn't close by boxing rules.

Sergey landed the more power punches with both hands. Sergey did more damage. Sergey had better ring generalship + KD


Everything Ward did to make that fight close was illegal under the rules of boxing. below the waist pivoting.. holding + hitting(Yes Compubox was tallying those #'s)..... and of course the famous greco roman clinch straight into the ropes.


if there was a competent ref in place, Ward would've lost by DQ by the 6th round.


It just so happens there were no competent ref nor competent judges in the entire arena that night.

yeah me 2. 117-110 kovalev, 116-111 kovalev, 115-112 kovalev and one time i got 118-109 ward but i was drinking a lot of cough syrup that day

Fans are hilarious kov lands 6 punches in a round ward lands 6 and kov clearly won the round. The fact is with such low accuracy/ activity rates a lot of rounds were up in the air and neither fighter commanded control. It's a tough fight biz ward got the win and that's all.

yes kovalev won easy. ward didn't win a clear round in the entire fight. 2 close ones that he won with the higher quality shots and 2 others that could have gone either way. kov landed more and better quality in most the rounds and therefore he won them. ward was lowblowing and holding and hitting and i guess people counted those illegal shots but even counting them its not close. definition of a robbery/corruption. made clear when kov completely bashed up ward in the 10th and all judges gave it to ward because they knew he needed it.

Yes, I didn't even get to get to that part because it was so much obvious fouling by Ward and media bias in his favor...He grabbed Kov behind his right knee in the 2nd round I think and tried to tackle him I mean Kov's leg lifted off of the canvas and Ward got away with many low blows but Kov got caught and cautioned by the ref each time Kov returned the favor to Ward...I was shocked man, I knew Kov could box but didn't think he could outbox Ward he owes JDJ some kudos but like I said Kov won that fight, I don't think Ward could beat Kov in a rematch he's going to hit the canvas at least once and all Kov has to do is score at least another KD or KO but if there were fair judges he easily decisions Ward every time...
