Andre Ward's Clinching "Skills" Revealed *GIFS*

[HeadShots]

All I see is a bunch of bellyaching. I bet none of you complaining now would have said a word if Kovalev won the fight.

You remember when Maidana d****d all over Mayweather and committed every foul in the book. How many of you complained then? How did Mayweather respond the next fight? Maybe Kovalev should change his strategy and dare to be great.

maidana actually does inside work. he stays punching. that's legit inside boxing. not wrestling.

mayweather responded in rematch by illegally clinching more


is it any wonder maidana came out of both fights looking completely unscathed? it's all that slick clinch work by may.

Totally agree with this post. He's definitely lost a step, Stevie Wonder could see it, the injuries and inactivity have taken their toll. He is not the fighter he was pre-2014 physically, he has to kid his way through fights now, its a credit to his ring IQ that he can do that.

Its weird saying he is not one of the top dogs anymore because he just went tough with Kovalev, but I can't help but feel the same as you that he isn't on the level of the best guys p4p. You could see it in the Smith, Barrera, and Brand fights, not just Kovalev.

I agree, he's declined so much more than people realise. He's lost so much athleticism. Apparently his knee meant he couldn't even do roadwork for the fight.

I'm a huge Ward fan but I actually have a feeling he's getting KO'd in the rematch. Kovalev's size and style is just all wrong for this version of Ward. How do you see the rematch?

I guess a knee to the groin was inside fighting?

YDKSAS. That second "S" is not a typo.

If you dont actively control wards head you will be met with some vicious headbutts, is what I got from this, and reminded me of the kessler fight, the way he dips down and comes charging forward and up (purposly looking for a headbutt almost) it's understandable that you end up wrestling with him just to keep his head from ramming you.

... this was exactly what exhausted Kov in that fight...
... now someone will come here and tell us that what Ward does is "slick boxing"... ffs...

That knee did not land.



it's a non-factor.


Ward landed all his illegal tactics. like that guillotine, he legit landed it.

That's not the knee I'm talking about. Lol.

I didn't even remember that one. The one I'm talking about landed while Mayweather was on the ropes

You think you're slick but only the usual suspects will fall for this narrative you trying to establish. Kovalev got beat because he couldn't adjust to Ward's style. He wasn't fighting an ancient Bernard Hopkins and he couldn't handle it.

post a gif. prove what ur talking about.


2ndly, this isn't about maidana. i couldn't care less.




the facts about Ward has been revealed. you saying Kovalev needs to adjust to Ward's illegal wrestling tactics is like me saying Floyd needs to train Muaythai to prepare for knees from Maidana in a boxing match.

whose the culprit?

you went full ******.

I am old school, but in my time you had to take it from the champ.
HOW in hell did the judges had Ward winning?

this is the moonlight, leading HIV demographic, down low ****sexual era.

throwing fists don't win no god damn fights.

man hugging wins fights.


let the FLoyd/Ward fanboys tell you. it's slick boxing.

[Thraxox]

... add to that: leading with head low, ready to headbutt...

I won't be surprised if Ward beats Kovalev by guillotine choke in the rematch and the ref calling it TKO.

"Overhand choke"
