    There were some low blows I’m not denying that in the slightest but Kovalev was clearly done in that second fight, he had nothing left by the time of the stoppage. Ward clearly won IMO, and I was heavily rooting for Kovalev. He may have used very unsportsmanlike tactics but he still clearly won the fight
    fair enough

      Completely agree, Ward found the method to beat Kovalev. As much as I dislike Ward he’s very good at adapting and adjusting in fights.
      I like Ward I know he is not the most exciting but he gets everthing out of his ability and he has proved to be a great fighter.Its just that he don't have that highest level speed and athletictism.Which can make his fights less then pretty sometimes.

        Naw, Kovalev's no longer the goods and I rather Ward's boring, clinching, cheating ass stay retired but if he did come back, he should fight the Stevenson-Jack winner.

          I'd be interested if he beat the Bivol-Barrera winner (WBA) and either Beterbiev (IBF) or Gvozdyk if he emerges from the WBC mess with the title.

            I'd rather see Kov/Stevenson but would absolutely be keen for Kovalev/Ward 3 even if it was another 'lets screw Kovalev over' type fight with a biased referee.

            Not on PPV, should be free to air.

            I'd gladly watch Kovalev fight Ward 10 times. I was entertained by both their fights, why wouldn't I want to see more?

            Bring it on!

              If it was a clean well officiated fight yeah. Don''t wanna see anything like #2. That was some bull****.

              Most people disagreed with the decision in the first fight but fighters come in knowing their fate is in the judges' hands.

              Getting stopped via a **** shot on the other hand... Horrible fight

                I never found his fights too boring tbh, I kind of like watching a top fighter neutralise his opponent.
                I just don’t like him as a person, he always came across very self righteous and fallacious to me. The way he treated Goosen who was terminally ill at the time also made me lose A LOT of respect for him. But all that stuff is outside of the ring, inside of it there’s no denying he was a great fighter. I don’t think he’s an ATG but he’ll definitely merit a spot in the HOF

                  I don't want to see it because I think it would make Kovalev unmarketable. Ward has his number now. I like Kovalev and I want to see him rule the division. He has a lot of opportunities on the horizon. No need to go after a 3rd Ward loss.

                    no!!!!

                    just stop with this nonsense guys, seriously. do you want kovalev to get permanently injured or embarrassed?

                    listen, i don't like ward's style that much to be honest but kovalev is just an inferior fighter, period. no ifs ands or butts! ward makes him quit yet again, no matter how many times they fight!
