Kovalev: I admit Ward was better. I give him credit. But I fought against two man.

    These guys wanted a Ward win so bad that they don't care how it happened.... They're just glad that he won. It's kinda sad but funny at the same time. It's amusing to me to see them play dumb when it comes to the low blows and stoppage.

      True, Ward was beyond Impressive In the fight and did something that the majority of us didn't think was possible and that was hurt Kovalev to the jaw.

        Maybe, maybe not.

          Ward looked great and made the proper adjustments and was well on his way to ending the fight legitimately, but there Is no denying that the fight ended with an Illegal shot. It Is pathetic really watching them attempt to deny It and call It a borderline shot.

            To beat Ward, you need a very high level of stamina. He makes you miss a lot, blocks a lot, and is constantly thinking and moving in there. The body shots are also severely draining.

                The fact that Kovalev wasn't DQ'd immediately is a disgrace to the sport

                  Respect to his opponent (for the rest of the fight) and complaints about the ****ty ref for blowing critical calls. What part is confusing you?

                    I think he is being too humble, I don't think Ward done much better I think Kovalev pressure was much the better, but sadly the referees were once again in the fix, but this was to be expected from the last fix job.
                    You simply cannot have 3 American judges and an American referee who is the same colour as Ward. I think there is likely a racial and country support thing going on here, just look at the blind idiots who deny the low blows.

                    Golota is a scumbag for it, but Ward ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhh BORDERLINE... yeah, uhuh, borderline that is my new word of the month, you lot are not real boxing fans that is my stance a real fan of the sport would call it like it is.
