Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Won't Be Easy For Kovalev To Recover From Defeat

[HarvardBlue]

He can bounce back with a couple of wins. Maybe he should get a match with Joe Smith. That should be a decent win if he can get it.

I have the feeling Kovalev is the boxing version of McGregor. If you can hang around and not get discouraged, he'll fade fast in the later rounds. Whether you thought Ward won the first fight or not, there's no doubt Kovalev faded badly in the latter half of the fight.

Was Main Events screwing Sergey over on what they paid him for the Ward fights?

Kovalev would still be undefeated if he had judges and refs in his pocket like ward. But he's not a weak American cherry picking and crying.

Based on his performance that night, I'd say those balls were shrunken going into the ring.

Lmaooooo now ward is ducking Adonis, the same Adonis "chickenson" they claimed ducked kov... Now they are high on Adonis... u see how this works guys??????? but to be honest Adonis is a dangerous fight for ward.

If he hits the HW he's going to get a stick on that donut. AJ will destroy him. He's no John Ruiz.

alot of **** shots

Personally I think kovalev was overselling them borderline shots and mentally checked out but I won't argue wit you about it. After all he has the ko power and wasn't bothered by any of wards shots why didn't he just get annoyed and walk up to Ward and KO him like the super man we all thought he was. Big bad kovalev got bullied by the super middle weight with no power in his punches.

The boxing community is an echo chamber. I remember years ago Cotto purposefully hit Judah low when he was wobbled and needed some time --the whole boxing community lombasted Judah for being mentally weak. And heralded Cotto for doing what had to be done to survive.

If your popular you get the benefit of the doubt but if your unpopular you get impaled with critiscm. **** is more inconsistent than actual politics.

If boxing analyst were leaders in thought instead of echos following popular opinion, they'd be actual experts- not people paid to pass --regurgitated opinions back and forth from each other's mouth-- the same info a casual with internet access could tell you while your watching a fight on tv.
