    There is a very valid case for Kovalev winning the first fight.

    Ward won the second by a nut sac KO.

    After he softened upnKovalev with a few headbutts...

        Well that is 3 but I'm sure many of the old school fighters did as much if not more.

        Other sports don't need superior conditioning? Which ones? Golf? I guess you don't need superior conditioning for soccer, tennis, or 90% of Olympic events.

            I have alot of faith in Smirnoff kovalev. My only issue is he's left it a little late at 34 for this transformation it would have helped 5 or more years ago. but with the natural decline in reflexes with age it may just be delayed if anything so he can sustain another 2 years at the top.

            But if we look at the decline in golovkin who is a similar age and how clean he lives and trains. It doesn't make sense that Smirnoff kov can magically get back to the form he did have at a younger age due to the life style he led for x amount of years.

              That's the main reason why he had cardio issues. Ward team know about it, Kovalev admitted it. He used to be a HEAVY drinker and was drinking vodka during the camp. He had an addiction to alcohol and only cleaned up now.

              Here Kovalev said that besides drinking vodka, he was eating garbage and drank few beers all the time:



              Ward only started winning after the hangover effects came into play.

              Let's not forget that Kovalev never had a proper trainer either and his "trainer" actually sabotaged him and betrayed him.

              The new version of Kovalev will be dominating the division for years.

              Imagine how good he would have been if he had Lomachenko's work ethic and coaching. It's crazy to think that Kovalev beat an ATG Andre Ward in the first fight while being an alcoholic and without a trainer.

              People underestimate how bad alcohol is for athletes. You can have prime Floyd fighting Cletus Seldin and if you'd give beers and vodka to Floyd every day he would lose the fight, he wouldn't make it past the 6th round just like Kovalev started to gas.
              Excuses excuses, am getting sick and tired of listening to these excuses Ward beat Kovalev ass in the second fight easily and made him quit. He was finished and gave up way before the so called "bow blows" the first fight was close very close could have gone either way. WARD BEST THE baddest man in boxing during that time. He deserves respect especially moving up a division.

                    He is a natural SMW, would easily make 168 if he wasn't living unhealthy.

                      That's not the point though. The point is the boxing world thought Kovalev won the fight. You know it, but still play ****** whenever someone says Kovalev has a win over Ward (even if it's not official).
                      Kovalev didnt win, i made a thread scoring the rounds and Ward won
