Get real, lets not act like Ward is actually better than Kovalev

[j.razor]

The second fight was definitely re-written as a "beat down", but I had it either even or Kov up 1 entering the round of the stoppage. They fought each other dead even from about round 5 of fight 1 until round 7 of fight 2.

Andre beat him up in BOTH fights.

I don't understand the crying after all this time. Nothing will change this record: Ward-Kovalev 2-0. Andre retired undefeated and number P4P 1.

Kovalev is cool by me. All the best to him.

[Nay_Sayer]

Leave the Heroin alone.

Body/Low blows are not what ended the fight. It was the Joe Louis RIGHT HAND that Ward landed flush on Kovalev's now cracked mandible that ended the fight. Lets be REAL...

I like them both but Ward is clearly a better fighter. I thought he won the first but it was close. Ward picked up right where he left off in the 2nd. Kovalev was game but he couldn't keep up with the pace he set. Not to mention he pulled a amateur mistake and tried to switch stance right in front of Ward when he got caught. Ward was leading with the right the whole fight. He never got a chance to land it properly until Kovalev got lazy and tried to switch stance in front of him.

There's no need to act. Ward is the better fighter.

This was a fight where I really did not like both guys. Ward's style of fighting is frustrating to watch for me and he comes across as smug. Kovalev is smug, comes across as racist and just seems like an a$$hole overall.

I was hoping they would beat each other up more LOL

Fight was competitive until the stoppage?, Kovalev was tired, HURT, claiming body shots as low (not the ones of the stoppage) and was pretty much a broken man before the stoppage.
IMO the fights don't take anything away from Kovalev since he has strong arguments on both fights, but he was the lesser fighter at the end of the day.

I think even Kovalev admited that he was going to lose the second fight any way. I'm not sure but I think I remember reading something along those lines.

But the robbery in the first one...

Tell a fool what he wants to hear, and he will believe it, even if the facts tell a different story.

kovalev couldn't really recover from the first fight, the decision ****ed him up mentally. that's the reason why he was looking for a way out in their second fight, i said this before but it's how it is. if we have fair judges scoring fights **** like this won't happen.

kovalev had never heard of someone getting "robbed" before? knowing he was fighting an american on american soil it never crossed his mind before? lol....not that ward robbed him...it was a close fight

why would this "****" kovalev up? he knew he was getting a rematch....if kovalev felt he won and won so easily then he should have been prepared to do it again or beat ward up.......kovalev knew he was getting another crack.......what he knew was that ward had settled in and won the 2nd half of their first fight and kov didnt really know what he was going to do

This is exactly what is happening. The weak minded fools believe the fights were even. The facts are Ward won both.
