Andre Ward punching Kovalev in the face!

FINALLY!

A picture showing Andre Ward punching Kovalev in the face.

Thank you BoxingScene

You guys were forever showing pictures of Ward getting touched...you'd think he never laid a hand on Kovalev.

kov let me down with this g@y shlt

[SN!PER]

This isn't a good look for Kovalev.

Put the words aside and come out guns blazing in the rematch.

i get it people are not real big on andre ward for a multitude of reasons but good grief u guys have to admit kovalev and his team are just getting annoying at this time

Why does he keep saying this? The fact that he came into a fight against Ward not in shape should embarass him but he keeps saying it. If he loses again, what will the excuse be? Holy ****

Guyz, this is how it works... Scribes are constantly asking the principles questions leading up to the fights. And they never stop. He!!, they ask long retired boxers questions about upcoming fights. After a while, the fighters will have ran out of stuff to say, yet the scribes never go away. Please, TRY to keep up, ok? All Kovalev is doing is helping to put more butts into seats. Can't blame him for that.

As for the fight, I believe Kovalev will take 'Back' Ward out by the 10th. 'Back' Ward has been doing plenty of blabbering about this one also, so don't be so quick to lean on Kovalev. This won't be a fun evening for 'Back' Ward. He's getting take OWWW-ITTT.

if you KNOW you won..then you dont make excuses...you def dont say you gassed and had no strength...thats for sure

like i said...this guy is certainly making excuses for the 2nd half of the fight...when hes so "sure he won"...that dont add up.

I've seen literally hundreds of fighters make excuses for poor performances in fights they won, even by stoppage. Why is everyone making out excuses are a new thing? Almost no fighter hasn't given them more than once.

[bluepete]

Everyone who's saying he can't think he won if he's making excuses, of course he can. Fighters make excuses for poor performances in fights they officially win, even by stoppage. Almost every fighter in history makes excuses when they don't perform to the level they hoped to. Don't act like this is something new. "I left it in the gym" is one I've heard literally a hundred times.

So now yawl got excuses for the other excuses? Lmao! Yawl some crazy people.

[cameltoe]

So does he think he lost, or doesn't he? One minute he's saying he definitely won, the next he's making a load of excuses for the first fight.

Which is it?

Shows his head is all over the place. Ward in contrast is totally calm and assured.

he openly confirmed what everyone saw though....he said "i gassed...faded 2nd half".....thats what contributed to him losing the fight.....thats what everyone that said they had ward winning said happened....

[Curt Henning]

blupete is out here trying to act like this is some errol spence "eh i give myself a b-" after stopping brook....its not....this is kovalev telling u what we saw happen....kovalev admitting he was not sharp in the 2nd half...this directly contributed to him losing.....

this is not just fighter speak saying they didnt do well when they clearly dominated or won....this is him acknowledging the flaws that we all saw ...which directly conrtibuted to him losing a close decision
