Who here wants a trilogy and who would win a third immediate fight?

[bngsdad]

Why not? They gave JMM 3 tries, why not this one?

[RussB23]

Just want both of them to end a fight with no controversy. Dont even care who wins anymore.


Id still pick kovalev.

They have this fight again with neutral officiating.

60 TOTAL SCORES POLLED FROM MEDIA

44 Scores for KOVALEV = 73%
15 Scores for WARD = 25%
1 Score for a DRAW + 2%

2nd fight should be overturned into a DQ. Nobody should even humor that it was legal.

Boxingscene live scored it 114-113 for Ward.

They also scored Golovkin over Jacobs close.

They have a bunch of great neutral scores.

I'll take BSL scorecards over others who could be biased. BS's scorer shows he has no dog in any fight and doesn't play the "oh i'm white/black, so the white/black guy won" character.

No. This isn't even about the physical aspect anymore. Ward can adapt during the fight and mentally, Kov is B- level at best. Ward is simply a better fighter. The first fight was close because of the KD, this fight looked as it was going to have Ward run away w/ the last 1/4 of the fight with ease. He has Kovalev figured out.

No. It's over. Kovalev can go somewhere and take his racist fans with him

The fight ended exactly how it would've ended even if Weeks would not have stopped it right then and there. But I just want the fight to actually have a better version of a TKO. I think Ward can repeat what he just did, but I want a better version of it.

I think Ward wins all day every day now. I thought Ward learned the things to do & the things not to do the first time so expected him to win a cleaner fight tonight. I don't know why that wouldn't continue even more so a third time.

And I don't even see a point in a 3rd fight now. Kovalev gots some rebuilding to do & Ward can do bigger & better things. Plus I think both guys are reaching that age when they don't got much time left in their peaks, if they aren't even past them already, & I just don't see the reason for their paths crossing again unless both guys are around & operating at the same level 3, 4 or 5 years from now.

A trilogy isn't needed

Maybe if Kov beats Adonis or something maybe but the way he's acted the entire 2 fights he doesn't deserve another fight

I swear Imma have a stroke, heart attack & prolapsed anus from excessive wiping all at the same time if boxing fans don't quit discounting elite level boxers.

For f#cks sake if the #3 at worst 175lber in the f#cking world is a B- boxer there should only be 20 fighters at 175 in the world cuz the rest suck too bad to be fighting professional.

Guys can be A level fighters & lose to other slightly better A level fighters. Thats what happened tonight too. A elite level fighter beat another elite, but not elite enough, level fighter.
