Kovalev Has to Make More of a Statement This Time

[koolkc107]

Kovalev has to win by knockout. The last fight showed that even judges are biased to color.

Black is viewed as - slick, boxing, tactics,

White skin is viewed as - robotic, power, non defensive and no tactics

All this meaning , kovalev doesnt get credit for boxing , he doesnt get credit for subtlety landing rt uppercuts or rt hooks inside




The judges werent ever gonna give kovalev the well earned victory. Over 85% of viewers had kovalev winning 7-5 plus the knockdown .

5% had kovalev 6-6 winning by a knockdown

8% had ward winning 7-5

2% had a draw Somehow.

Fact is the judges wouldnt have had kovalev win even with another knockdown .
Boxing is corrupt

Imo boxing has become pro black , and the none black fighter has to do more to win unless you are canelo . I think the demographic changed with social media and mayweather being the top black fighter and having bandwagon fans. They are catering to the black population to keep them interested in boxing . Most the white demographic is into mma.

All 3 judges wuz white doe...

I agree. He won't get treated any more fairly this time and he might get treated worse since Ward is the champ now. He needs to attack Ward hard. He needs to try to win every round and knock Ward out if possible. As you say he needs to leave everything he's got in the ring.

[Joe Beamish]

Kovalev needs to score a knockdown in every round to win the decision. He does that, this thing could be close.

[Larry the boss]

He either has to KO Ward or win 10 of 12 rounds so that he is not robbed again

he wasnt robbed the first time

Dre about to take that boy to school, he knows the ins and outs of Kovolov and it will be easier this time.

Definitely agree with the TS, Kov would have to do more to take those belts back to where it belong, because I didn't really believe Ward did enough to take those belts in the first place.

While I scored the first fight for Kovalev, he has to make a stronger statement this time out. I think he definitely can but he'll have to show less respect for Ward and take it to him hard like it's his last fight. Gotta leave everything in the ring.

well, the way judging is these days, I agree but also, Kov knows that Ward has nothing in his arsenal to hurt him.

Kovs game at range, up close and the power are all superior to Ward and it's not even that close in any of those departments.

Before the first fight I thought Ward's inside game and strength would win him the fight but he was out muscled and out wrestled.

Kov just needs go pummel him, he'll stop Ward in 6 if he does that

Also Kovalev knows he can hurt Ward, he stiffened him up with a jab in the first round, and then floored him in the second.

The mental character to come back from that and make a competitive fight is enormous, 99% of boxers would probably swallow it in that situation.

Yes, most fighters would've folded, but kudos to Ward for hanging tough and making necessary adjustments afterwards.

So true. He can't show any respect or mercy. Needs to have that hurt game mentality.

[Madison Boxing]

although i thought kov won the first fight hes making it sound like he demolished ward. he started off well and tok his foot off the gas and let the fight slip. i wasnt particularly impressed with either fighter, didnt look like 'pound for pound' to me, two guys grappling for most the fight.
