Originally posted by Banko Villas View PostSeriously, 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...

So Ward, the long time super middleweight champ, moves up in weight (which he didn't have to do), to give the fans the fight they wanna see is kov. He gets dropped recovers and shows championship mettle in the way he claws himself to victory. And all fans say is, he's a coward. All his opponent says is he's a coward. He gets discredited for the biggest fight of his career a fight he won and fans think he should rush back to impress you? He has a contract true, which has yet to be broken, so should he rush to sign because your feelings are hurt? Should he rush to sign because kovalev had his ego bruised when he got his belts snatched? Should he rush to return because the fight did underwhelming numbers? He's a man, he's the champ, and he'll move at his pace because don't forget, the fighting public did him no favors.

interesting how some claim Ward was to give him a ''boxing'' lesson for an even bigger and skilled guy unlike recent opposition at 168. cmon, Ward's significant advantage is his inside game. people can hate how he's able to load up easily fighting on the inside, but the reality is that's the advantage and range control.
IDEALLY, and come one how many heads watch boxing, but IDEALL or REALISTICALLY after the 2nd round knockdown YOU'd expect Kova to finish somewhere around the 5th or 6th. INSTEAD, we saw a completely different style of game to win the fight, and it was APPARENT that Kova slowed his tempo and usual technique after the 4th round. Just because he attempted to pick up the pace in the last rounds while still being reciprocated, it wasn't enough to convince the judges. It's not like judges haven't seen knockdowns before. It's what a champion is capable of doing to CHANGING the fight. Judges aren't ******...

Just lol at these delusional Ward fans and their 'Ward moved up to give fans the fight they wanted' notion.
No he didn't. The Kovalev fight was a part of the 3 fight deal he had with HBO. He wouldn't have come back on that network if he hadn't signed that deal, it really is that simple. There was nothing heroic about him moving up, he just outgrew the SMW division and had no choice but move up because HBO didn't want to pay for his mismatches in SMW. Then he openly cried about HBO making him do that and suggested that it's a racial thing and that it was some big conspiracy created in order to put him (a black man) down.
Don't even get me started on who he tried to fight after his comeback lol.
He was stalling then and is stalling now. He's always been a delusional diva and I suggest his fans who defend him to start realizing that because he makes them look like idiots every time he speaks.
Let's hope he gives Kovalev a rematch, loses and retires so we could not hear from this arrogant fool ever again.Last edited by Szef; 03-18-2017, 07:22 AM.
