[travestyny]

slappin soggy fail to land most of what he threw what meager few he landed were mostly glancing slaps that did not hurt kovalev in any way kovalev was unmarked after the fight slappin soggy looked like he lost a street fight slappin soggy feels he is entitled to the win because he's 1/2 black

What the hell does being 1/2 black have to do with any of this? Man, it's 2017. Some of yall need to get over your deep rooted issues. Seriously.

yes I watched them, you came in head first like a bull and you lost the damn fight. You also know it.

Jacobs went on about how he beat ggg when he clearly didn't beat ggg.

The BoxNation and TV Azteca commentators thought that Jacobs did beat GGG, actually.

[travestyny]

In my opinion, seems like Kovalev has shown doubt about really believing he convincingly won this fight.


Starts blaming his coach, says he over-trained, needs to bring in some other guys to his team. And some other stuff that I've heard some posters mention.


Hmmmm.

lost round 3, lost round 4, barely won round 5, lost roudn 6, barely won roudn 7, barely won round 8, lost round 9, lost 10, 11 migth have lost, and lost round 12. you dont get credit for surviving after being knocked down. what low standards this fool adn his fans have. you get credit for landing punches and real punches not having a guys arm locked up with one arm and hitting with the other or holding him around the back and hitting with the other thats not even legal. you guys dont care about the sport when you count illegal punches. you coutning those low blows as body shots too?

Kov is upset as he was robbed in his eyes. Ward talks more than ggg. Ward thinks he's phycologist. Ward should just let kov cry. Ward don't need to talk. He got the decision.

Kov talks more than ward, Jacobs and ggg combined. If anyone needs to stfu it's him

If you don't think that was a close fight, you have no clue how to score a prize fight.

I agreed with Letterman's card. He didn't have it that close either and he's been scoring prize fights probably longer than you've been living...

Hmmmm.

That's definitely evidence of some doubt in his mind. But maybe he's attributing that to why his performance wasn't better? Doesn't mean he thinks he lost. However, I do think it's a sign that he'll struggle more in the second fight.

Letterman has had some pretty terrible cards over the years. This fight came down to how you scored the close rounds (which were like 9 out of 12). The judges clearly gave Ward most of them. So 6 of the 9.

Watched the fight like 10 times at this point. In 9 of those rounds very little, if anything, was landed by either guy. Kovalev was willing to clinch way too much (I think he over thought the issue; and this cost him the fight) and Ward was reluctant to use that left check hook. (For fear of taking a shot; short-armed it a lot)

1,2, and 9 were clear rounds imo. The rest I could see judges differing on. Very hard to call.

In fact, HBO is seriously considering Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien as replacements.
