Comments Thread For: Ward vs. Kovalev II: No Rematch Clause For Third Fight

[PunchyPotorff]

you really think that had nothing to do with the other guy? oh well, I guess Kovalev can easily fix that Kovalev said that he over-trained, and will now only do 1hr of roadwork and 1hr of boxing per day
I guess we will see whats up FACT: Ward will not get any credit, no matter what happens

Obviously, the vast majority of losses in a fighters career can be traced back to what the other fighter did in the ring. Not denying that.

Look, I like action fighters. Always have. And I along with most fans are bored with Ward fights. He basically takes zero chances, fouls his opponents a lot, wins rounds on judges cards he shouldn't have won if the judges were unbiased... and that's why he's boring. If you like Ward, then fine, have fun watching his fights. For me, watching paint dry isn't something I wanna do for 10, 12 rounds. But if it entertains you, great for you. And we'll both continue to express our opinions of fighters we like, and of those we don't like.

nah, I can understand that, and why

his methods of neutralizing an opponent can be unappealing to watch..... and on a couple of occasions, the only reason why you couldn't accuse him of stinking out the joint is because he was so effective

even Mayweather likely had a more attractive style to most fans

but a lot of that is over-blown, and can easily over-shadow some of the things that he excels at

ugly, on occasion..... attractive, sometimes..... effective, always

he is an outstanding fighter

but I can't argue with you because it's a perspective issue

fair call

Ward is going to get KOEd this time. And I think he knows it. The only thing stopping that is 3 more paid off judges.

what do the judges have to do with anyone getting knocked out?

If kovalev wins, there will be a 3rd fight

just watched the fight for a 7th time, kov was missing a hell of alot, he dominated first 3 rounds after round 5 kov didnt do much tho close fight but ward edged it out great fight...
