We need Ward vs Boone 2 and Kova vs Boone 3 to make things right

he never could beat kovalev. stylistically kovalev will always jab him to death.

He'd be even smaller, albeit fresher.

Still, same fight. Close decision that Kovalev deserved.

We all knew up to the fight that Ward was not the same fighter that he used to be. Everyone mentioned that all the time and it was obvious from his recent fights following his long break from the sport. His reflexes were just not the same as they used to be. He managed to beat Kovalev in a tough fight, though. How would this fight have gone if Ward was still in his prime? IMO, if the Super Six Ward were to move up and fight Kovalev after 1-2 tuneups, then I think Ward would win every round.

He was a lighter in his prime. So if the extra weight didn't affect him and no long layoff he'd win. Lost this one though..

He already beat him. If he was in his prime, there would have been no lucky knockdowns from Kovalev.

LOL at people now suddenly denying that Ward was past his prime for the fight. Everyone knew it, but now, they suddenly forgot. So pathetic ...

I think Ward is fine.

He got caught a good shot by the 2nd best P4P fighter in the world.

No shame in that.

And props to him for getting off the canvas and winning a close fight...and yes, he did beat Kovalev.
