Kovalev was shot to ATG status for beating senior citizen Bernard Hopkins. Some people didn't take into consideration BHop was knocked out of the ring by a construction worker soon after.
When Ward nullified his offense in the second half of the first fight people ignored that and cried robbery. When Ward got within a inch of knocking Kovalev out the same people only saw low blows. Another light punching fighter damn near killed him and yet those same people are talking about he was winning the fight. Kovalev need to call it a day. He is who he is and nothing is going to make a more disciplined fighter.
Yes, true, but you have to put it more gently.
His fans may be psychologically damaged after last night,
like they claim Kovalev was by Ward.
Kovalev was not mentally damaged by Ward,
Ward just revealed Kovalev's character.
It was an excellent HBO level fight which helps put them back on the map for high quality impact matches
Yes and no. It was a good fight,
but the basket they had their eggs in turned-out to be the loser.
HBO has a lot of work to do now, even just to maintain the status
they had before Kovalev lost last night.
It was weird because HBO crew had Alvarez outboxing Kovalev for the majority of the early rounds. I did not see it that way and thankfully neither did Harold. I was wondering why they were blowing Alvarez so hard. Then to justify their commentary, Alvarez KO's Kovalev. What a ***** show HBO commentary was last night.
The crew did not have Alvarez outboxing Kovalev
Harold had it five to one Kovi
