alvarez did what ward couldn't

[Larry the boss]

Alvarez has fought as high as Cruiserweight

[Scary_canary]

Although I personally believe kov won the first fight... there was a bit of controversy over the ending of the second fight, but kov was done without the low shots....Ward hit him with a straight up bomb which kov hadn’t recovered from just before the low shots.... Ward may not have gotten a clean win but he mentally destroyed kovalev

[D4thincarnation]

Ward tapped out like a bitch rather than face the "murder's row" at light heavy.

[Real King Kong]

Add Alvarez to the list of reasons ward won't be coming back.

[baroidi]

Ward probably made an eunuch out of Kovalev with all those powerfull nut shots.

[SkillspayBills]

All you do is bash black fighters you pathetic subhuman bigot. Ward tore Kov's ass up and turned him into damaged goods.

[buge]

Kovalev definitely won the first Ward fight. Ward obviously hit him with some low blows in the second, but Ward was breaking him down and Kov seemed to be on the way out regardless. I always thought GGG could take Kovalev, so I'm not too surprised that he's lost to some upper level LHW.

alvarez was more impressive against kovalev than ward ever was. he showed how its done. give the man his credit.

That’s usually the case after a top end fighter receives their first loss

Their inner invincibility is taken and in some cases never returns because they realize they’re beatable , it’s easier for other fighters to get Wins off them afterwards.

Give Ward his props , he was the one who beat the Krusher who many thought was unbeatable and in the second fight basically made him quit

Props to Alvarez for doing it again but Give credit to the man who did it first

[R_Walken]

Ward tapped out like a bitch rather than face the "murder's row" at light heavy.

Does tapping out now mean jumping up in weight and taking on the divisions biggest challenge and beating him 2 times

Then deciding to retire and be a guaranteed first ballot HOFer

If that’s what it means Then yeah Ward tapped out

None of these new Murderers row fighters you speak of have beaten anyone above b- class fighters and haven’t proven themselves to be anywhere near Wards level and none have any sort of Following to make the fight a financially enticing one for Ward to have considered

[boliodogs]

ward lost the first fight to kovalev and the second one ended in a lot of controversy! alvarez straight up knocked him out no pre mature stoppage or anything like that. ward never beat kovalev cleanly. alvarez should be in the discussion for top ten p4p. Thoughts?

My thoughts are Alvarez is much different than Ward. He is a clean fighter who follows the rules. He doesn't grab, and hold, wrestle and maul, hold and hit, head butt and hit low. He lands fast accurate punches from short, long, and mid range without having to hold his opponent with one hand to make those punches land. He is a pleasure to watch fight while Ward is horrible to watch fight.
