Why not Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev III?

I actually think that isnt a bad idea given the controversy in the first fight.

Kovalev arguably got robbed in the first fight and second fight wasnt really conclusive as well so a 3rd fight can settle everything.

I would like to see fewer people making excuses after fights, that would be a nice change. There have been consecutive fights now and two consecutive reasons why Kovalev lost, so now we want a third fight? For what, to set the stage for a third fight laced with pathetic excuses about bad refs and chocolate pudding? I'll pass....

If you read the first post, I feel Andre Ward was robbed of a conclusive knockout victory which would have left nothing to debate.

What reason is there to debate, the dude lost and would lose again?

Because Kovalev is gay

Over 85 percent of people watching the first fight thought kovalev clearly won and he was robbed of that victory.

Now over 75 percent of fans watching the rematch think ward intentionally low blowed kovalev twice in a row on the letter B of kovalevs trunks at the cup area, and tony weeks stopped the fight instead of giving kovalev his 5 minutes for the low blows and warn ward for fouling.

Andre ward didnt beat kovalev fair and square
Anf its obvious the NSAC can not be trusted for more reasons than 1.

The NSAC sweeps things under the rug, they sanction fights that have no business being made and they cover up failed drug tests.

Imo ward vs kovalev 3 should be made immediately should be in NY or atlantic city like fight 1 should have been.

No. Kovalev faded in the first, and second fight. He is a 4 Round fighter with a guy that can move and out smart him. No thanks. Lets move on. I rather see Kovalev vs Stevenson or Kovalev vs Joe Smith, Ward vs Stenson. Ward already has shown he is a better all around fighter than Kovalev .

A close fight is not called Robbery! A one sided fight is called Robbery. Manny got robbed against Bradley in the first fight. Please that term Robbery is used so damn lose around here

Definition of Robbery:

Lara vs. Williams

Mayweather vs. Castillo 1

Pacquiao vs. Bradley

Felix Trinidad v. Oscar De La Hoya

I would like to see this. Tony Weeks not deducting points for the low blows and stopping the fight way too early ruined this win for Ward. I feel that Kovalev was breaking down from legal punishment he was taking and wouldn't have lasted another two rounds. The low blows and stoppage ruined Wards win and gave Kovalev excuses. Has Kovalev been exposed? Does Ward just have his number? I felt that Kovalev should have looked to start fast and not let Ward settle. Horrible tactics.

His tactics were not the problem. I thought he was doing a brilliant job with his jab. It's Andre Ward's style - it's not boxing, it's a mix of wrestling, grappling, dangerous low head maneuvers and low blows. Ward is not a boxer. As long as his style is tolerated and his dirty tactics go unpunished he'll even beat boxers of Mayweather's caliber.
