Seriously, it's making me sick now. Kovalev was supposed to KO Ward, destroy the shot black fighter and establish some sense of white dominance in boxing. All he managed to do, though, was to score a flash knockdown.
Seriously, Ward figured Kovalev out and was outboxing for the rest of the fight. He even hurt Kovalev to the point that Kovalev stuck his head out of the ropes to make the referee stop Ward (and don't make some **** up about Kovalev just letting Ward hit him and that he didn't hurt him, lol, like the guys who say Golovkin didn't get hurt when a Brook uppercut gave him jellylegs).
Some saw it differently and for the sake of argument, then let's agree that a case could be made for Kovalev... If Ward had just barely beat Kovalev, while Kovalev got a controversial decision, then no one would defend Ward or whine about him losing. It is extremely obvious.
Ward won that fight. And he knows Kovalev better now. He has him figured out better than last time and if a knockout happens in the rematch, then it's Kovalev who gets knocked out. He will never get close to scoring a knockdown against Ward again and you all know it. Kovalev has never been much of a technician and he can't adept to Ward's skill level.
Will the Kovalev fanboys please just stop whining? And please, please don't start claiming "1-1!" when Ward wins the rematch. If he has to beat Kovalev 3 times, then you're not doing Kovalev any favours at all...
