why do people keep saying this.. its a fight that could have gone either way not like it was 10-2.. if all the scores are the same with a 1 pt difference, its not like hes knew 100% he won

People say it because its true, he was shocked, he didn't think he was going to get the decision and he couldn't hide it when he heard his name announced. Now he runs around acting like he gave Kovalev a boxing lesson like it was no big deal.

He's a boxer, I expect him to be confident, he has to be or he's already beat again but save the bull****, his fans pretend to buy his **** but everybody saw what happened.

Ward finally manned up. Guess it all finally got to him. Only a small group of people thought he won amd the majority knows he lost. Hope Kovalev gets the KO this time.

jealous butt hurt punk nothing got to Ward. he got his money. he punked kovalev in the first fight and will expose him to the amateur that he is in the rematch. Ward will win

About time that we get a legit PPV fight.

I hope right before the fight when they touch gloves kovalev doesn't say"you got any excuses tonight ward".

Or this could turn to a jones vs tarver 2 situation.

Fans should also leave the excuses at home. LOL. People are already complaining about judges and the fight is 2 months away. LOL. The same people who said that Ward would duck the first fight said he would duck the rematch and said that Ward would get KO'd in the first fight. LOL. People should stop making uninformed predictions and just enjoy the show. The bias clouds judgement at times.

Ward gets credit and GGG looks bad here. Because GGG wouldn't move up a measly 8 pounds to fight Ward and went life and death with Jacobs.

First thing, you know who didn't look shock when they announced the winner, Kovalev. In fact, initially he took it really well until he was emboldened by the boos in the arena.

Second, I don't expect the fight to be any different than the first one. Ward/Kovalev reminds of the Hopkins/Taylor. A lot of people are thinking this should be an easy fight for one party but it didnt quite go the way it was expected. Get ready to be disappointed again if you're rooting for Kovalev.

He let the foot off the pedal and outboxed him instead, now the game plan is KILL.

If that's the game plan, then he's playing to Ward's strengths. Like others have already said, it seemed like Ward had Krusher pretty well figured towards the end of the fight and had made the necessary adjustments. Can Krusher adjust to Ward's adjustments? If he's too heavily focused on the kill, Ward will pot shot him all night and get the boring decision.

Kovo wins this easy and it sets up the trilogy plain and simple
