What I learned from Ward-Kovalev threads this week.....

[MDPopescu]

Ward's amazing bodywork:

....................................

[Madison Boxing]

Ward: A Guy known for being one of the worst cheaters and clinchers in the sport, known for clinching 6 times in a single round, known for being a brutal head butter elbows, take downs etc. etc.

Kovalev: known for destroying guys outside, with clean and effective punches.

Conclusion: Kovalev is cheating and is initiating the clinch.

i commented in that thread saying its one of the most ******ed ones ive seen and thats saying something. surely they cant type some of that garbage with a straight face.

Smh, i know a lot of people dislike Ward, but to act like Kovalev didn't initiate any clinches in that fight shows how blind people are. I thought it was an excellent strategy to neutralize Ward on the inside, and i had Kovelev winning.

Stop with this fanboy crap though people

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? Kovalev's strategy was to initiate the clinches to neutralize Ward on the inside, yet the ONLY reason cited for Ward winning the fight was his "master inside work".

Talk about being blind, go look in the mirror. Ward ducks his head and run forward, and people are saying that's how Kovalev 'initiated' the clinches? What was he supposed to do? Get speared and fall down? Play at being a matador?

Kovalev played Ward's game and wrestled with him, but to say he was the one initiating the clinches is some bat**** crazy stuff. Might as well start calling Rigondeux a stiff, Golovkin a 2nd coming of Whittaker and Joshua modeling his game after Ward.

If you are saying none of the clinches were initiated by Kovalev then you're the type of daft fanboy i'm talking about. I haven't seen anyone say his great inside work won the fight, i've seen people say his body punching did.

If all you saw was Ward running in with his head down then we have nothing more to talk about. Go schedule an optometry appointment

[Rip Chudd]

What you should have learned is that Kovalev was fouling too and actually started the fouling. So the people just ridiculing Ward for it are fucking morons.

No way Robbie, every single time they came together it was Ward's fault. Everybody knows that. Ward be huggin doe

Ward won...lol

[FeFist]

What I have learned is that people will desperately try to rely on a narrative when confronted with evidence.

Ward could be Molina. It wouldn't change the fact that Kovalev initiated clinches when Ward got inside.

So you say "people just ridiculing ward are ****ing morons"... yet you only ridicule kovalev.
