Comments Thread For: Ward vs. Kovalev Rematch - CompuBox Punch Stats

[goldenbear]

Kovalev punched himself out...Ward hard to the body

Between Kovalev punching himself out and Ward's body attack he was finished. Kovalev wasn't used to the high activity rate and with Ward's vicious body attack from round one he had nothing left. The knockout was inevitable even if the fight continued. Only difference is Ward would have brutally knocked Kov out and possible ended his career.

[S.O.R.]

Statistics for the Russian, and judges point for the American ... ;-)

[Cutthroat]

They had Ward 4/32 in round 7 LOOOOOL, he landed a minimum of 10-15 punches that round, you can clearly see him hitting Kovalev.

yep, ridiculous

like I have been saying for years..... compubox is horribly inaccurate, and should never be relied upon for anything important..... especially not the judging of a prize-fight

it is a tool that should be largely utilized by historians, but never mentioned by fans..... especially casual fans ewwwww

directing someone toward the fight video, in order to prove your point, is fine..... but directing someone toward compubox, in order to prove your point, is desperately scraping the bottom of the barrel

that is like saying..... xxxx won, here listen to my 12yo ******ed sister for proof

god knows what criteria they use

just a few years back, the average punch-connect score on boxrec was much higher..... they seemed to count just about everything that was thrown, regardless as to whether it hit gloves forearms shoulder w/e..... it was common to see both fighters landing 30-40 shots per round

if you think that some kid with a clicker can score a fight better than you, then you should STFU and learn the game...... and if you think that kid can score a fight better than the judges, you should go hang yourself

You guys should know, Ward didn't choose Kovalev, Kathy Duva invited Ward to come up in weight to fight Kovalev for the number 1 position in the pound-for-pound list. She did it to wipe-off Stevenson from the equation. But by ducking Stevenson with this plan, Karma bust the ish on their face. By using Ward name, they thought Ward would've been an easy fight to glory, but it wasn't.
Kovalev always had a weak point in that spot, Caparello knock down Kovalev on that same spot (on the belt), but it was seen as a low blow. John D Jackson gave way to much information about Kovalev weaknesses points to Ward clan, when Hunter played Jackson with the idea of recruiting him.
But about fighting Stevenson, Kovalev was playing all along and Ward carefully does everything to avoid the Stevenson subject. If he smiles in the interviews, as soon as Stevenson name comes up, the charismatic smile's gone.
He says he wants to go up to cruiseweight, but we know it's a blattant lie, just to avoid talking about the only subject which make sense; I mean making history by fighting for the Undisputed title against Adonis Stevenson. Which is the real pursuit of legacy.
Max Kellerman already gave his opinion about the logical matchup of Ward vs Stevenson.
*Quote: (Stevenson should go in the ring against Ward, Sure!)...
HBO will have the last word on who should he fought, Smith Jr, Beterbiev, Browne, Gvozdyk or Stevenson have a GO, but all other names will be rejected if they aren't sanctionned as mandatory to Ward. HBO wont waste their money with small defenses, and if Rocknation decides to knock Haymon PBC Showtime door, Ward will have to face Stevenson first. Let's not forget HBO & Showtime are now working together on major events.
Anyhow, Crawford will take that Pound-for-pound number 1 spot when he'll become Undisputed, by fighting Indongo, because HBO will decide so. Means, Andre Ward may preach as long as he wants about fighting Cleverly, by pretending how he likes UK and wants to fight there, but Mayweather X-Factor Badou Jack strategically blocked this avenue.
Once the sanctionning bodies like IBF or WBA will begin to tell him to defend his titles, Ward will have 2 choices, high risk no reward guys like Beterbiev-Gvozdyk or high risk high reward Stevenson. Will he lose his "legacy, position and reputation" by vacating few Belts, will he turn down his own chance to make history by retiring, will he suddenly push the clock by faking an injury hoping Stevenson loses in the process; or will trust faith and fight Stevenson.
Anyways, Kal-El Stevenson will become the next Undisputed LHW champion, which will have to defend all his titles against Badou Jack. A Haymon-Mayweather win win...

It's funny how nobody considered Stevenson a legitimate champ until The Krueger losses. Now he's all of a sudden the most feared man on the planet.

I will say Stevenson fight is more dangerous simply because of the styles. Stevenson can crack from anywhere while krushsd has to have his right hand set up. Ward the better boxer but Stevenson is a real threat as he likes to hit and run like Thurman.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain how ward only landed 4 punches in the 7th and only 10 body shots in the last round ⏰
