Also had $ on this fight u9.5. I thought it would be Kovalev winning before 9 but oh well
Cha-Ching!

Originally posted by mathed View PostTotally agree. CoWard got beaten in the first fight and they robbed the crap out of Kovalev. In the rematch, CoWard cheated MASSIVELY throughout the entire fight and it was dismissed completely. That is the stuff that makes me DISPISE Ward, he never had to travel, he got to cheat in virtually every fight and the refs never said a word to him. That kinda crap doesn't fly with me, you play by the rules or you don't play at all.
Anyway, Kov was never the same after CoWard I.

Originally posted by daggum View Posthe was cheated against ward. we just saw the difference between a clean fighter and a cheater. ward tried to finish kovalev and after a full minute of hitting him he didn't budge so he went low and doubled him over in pain with low blows. alvarez hit kovalev clean with clean punches until he was nearly unconscious. calling it equal is just not true and takes away from alvarez's achievement. do not compare him to a cheater.

I don't know why punchers usually punch themselves out.
Kovalev for all intents of purposes cause have fault cautiously, landed some nice right hands and then brought it back to the center of the ring again for more of the same. When he did the barrage against Alvarez and didn't knock him out I knew immediately he'd be tired after that. Guys that were alcoholics(which Kovalev most likely was) typically have horrible stamina, and he's been drinking for a while and is older.
