As a Ward hater i have to give him a little credit

[therealpugilist]

He seems like hes grown into 175. He physically looked alot bigger than the first fight and seems to have filled out more and actually looks like a 175 pounder now. Did not expect that , he also seemed to have alot more snap on his punches and lighter on his feet, finally threw the right hand again also he looked like the ward from the super six in moments. Ive been trashing him and calling him washed up but he looked alot better in the rematch.

Still though i dont think the fight should have been stopped and the low blows were legit nut shots. Point should have been taken.

Good show of class on your end

The stoppage was odd... Heard there was no standing 8...can't blame ward, he did what he was suppose to do n keep working


Ward looked a lot sharper in this one.

He isn't the athlete he was in the super6 but he is a more complete fighter


Only way he loses is by ko...too determined, strong n skilled

Nut shots? Is kovs nuts right below his navel?

Let's give him more credit since it was a legit stoppage...

He looked absolutely beautiful yesterday. Got his legs back, upper body movement, closing distance at will, great reflexes, the whole 9. I have no doubt he's the best fighter pound for pound right now. End of the fight was disconcerting, would have no problem with a point deduction instead of the stoppage. It was the end for Kovalev anyway. He looked like a proper bum in the end round, and that's what greats are supposed to do, make great fighters look ordinary. He's unstoppable at the moment and have no doubt he would have lunch with Beterbiev or anybody at 175 right now.
