If Ward is so great, why all the controversy?

[Vlad_]

I'm going to answer this as if it is a serious question. It's because to a casual fan Ward's boxing skills are not readily apparent. Ward is in the pocket the opponent is throwing it looks like he's winning, it looks like he's more effective and in fact to a small degree he is, but Ward is slowly figuring out and finding the weaknesses the opponents limitations and then he transitions to setting him up and executing. He's a master of the sweet science, but it's subtle it's hard to appreciate.

Yes and he sure looks full of energy had the fight not been stopped, to continue:

It's fine I didn't mean to hound you. I really thought it was a brilliant performance against a harder hitting, stronger fighter. That's all.

[The Time]

Damn you Tony Weeks, if you would have let the fight continue until someone dropped or was out, we wouldn't be dealing with all these threads.

Because most NSB posters don't want him to be great. It's the haters that create the controversy.

If we focused on the fact that he beat Kovalev to a pulp, there would be no issues. But no, that's secondary to the agendas of those who want to stir ****.

Think u guys are looking at it wrong

Ward is a beast. I wouldn't saysay dirty but he is gritty, hardened vet.

Knows all the trick and trade of the craft. The Kovalev fight was relatively clean tho.

The fight was stop because Kovalev stop defending himself after a right hand to the head that had him on rubber legs; after already taken a beaten to the body.

All legal in the ring unless u get called for it. Been review and confirmed. Y'all adding to the hype and legend.

Carry on

Yes, here is a clean shot from Ward in round 7:





Now, here is Kovalev totally not defending himself from Ward's last clean shot in the fight:




Here is Ward's totally not dirty piece de resistance:




And had the fight not been unfairly stopped, here is Ward looking primed and full of energy to continue:
