i love how this fights narrative is suddenyl getting changed to ward putting on some masterclass in the second half of the fight from what i saw it was a very one sided fight in the first fw rounds that turned into a more even contest in the second half, kovalev hardly folded. but i guess 'dem jabs to the body doe!

I mean, I have a lot of respect for Ward as a fighter. Big fan, I like his attitude and hard work. I thought the outcome of the Kovalev fight was a draw which means Kovalev retained his belts and is still the champ. Part 2 needs to happen to decide the true winner.Comment

Kovalev folded in the second half of the fight and Ward outworked him. He needs to fix his conditioning.Comment

Indeed, it was a close fight that Kovalev edged.Comment

Deep down inside of him, Ward KNOWS he lost the fight.
Virgil's sweet whispers cannot change his mind either.
Looks at Wards' face when the decision is read out, he looks like a homeless guy finding out he won the lottery.Comment

Ward doesn't even believe what he's saying. It's like he's trying to convince people he won when in his head he's telling himself he really lost.
Sure, Kovalev didn't finish him but he still dominated and won the next few rounds and won 3 of the last 6.Comment
