Comments Thread For: Kovalev: The Last Fight Alvarez Got Lucky, I'll Prove I'm Better

[landotter]

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like we could go back about 4 years and diagram the slow slide of self destruction of this guy? There is no doubt he was a serious man, a complete boxer with a huge killer instinct. Than, he began to drink. Then he began to self promote: Everything was "Krusher", all his bags, all his workout clothes, the t-shirts his team wore in training camps when media was there. Taking himself to serious, believing his own hype. Then he started in with excuses, firing trainers, blaming judges and refs. Now he is putting himself into compromising positions where he hurt a woman or allowed himself to be accused of it.

He seems to be making worse and worse decisions. A loss here and he becomes just a name. He needs this win so bad. But when you are self destructing, it becomes harder and harder to do what you badly need to do without completely bottoming out first.

.

I completely agree. Years of smoking and drinking take their toll. If he really dedicated himself for this fight then he has a shot. If not, another K.O for Alvarez.

I would argue he wasn’t robbed in ward/Kovalev 1. Kovalev May have won but it was very close. It was controversial and close fight, but it was not a robbery.

The second fight showed that Ward was just a little better.

114-113 to ward. A couple of swing rounds but by no means a robbery.
Second fight was controversial but overall ward's mental toughness was the difference

Lol!! You can't be serious. When you get your ass kicked the first six rounds and KD, then the last 6 are basically a draw with the only clear round going to Kov. 8-3-1, 8-4, 9-3 for Kov were the only possible scores in that fight. No way Ward got to 7 rounds, just wasn't possible.

I'll have what you're smokin!!
Ward won rds 3-6. Gtfoh with that "got his ass kicked" nonsense.

Hold on - you are saying Ward won rounds 3-6 in the first fight? Lol. You must have a sub-80 IQ. Remind me to add you to the list of people to never pay attention to on here.

He absolutely got his ass kicked the first 6 rounds. Just how it was. I was surprised too. They both came in at equal billing but once Ward felt Kov's power in round 1 he was basically just surviving the first 6 rounds. Anyone saying otherwise is a mental midget or lying.

Lol from reading your other posts it is obvious you are one of those dumb English posters. A lot of people in the UK are cool and know their boxing. And then there are people like you, who wouldn't know their elbow from their ******* yet act like they have a 3rd eye for scoring fights. Anyone giving Ward move than 4 rounds in the 1st fight does not deserve to be taken seriously on anything related to boxing.

My Soviet G Krusher is coming back in style, phukin’ that boy up in 7 rounds... all haters bow down...

Nothing lucky about a punch landing on your chin. That's boxing.

The 2 Ward fights were corrupt shtshows and Kovalev was the better fighter, but he lost to Alvarez straight up.

The two Ward fights was the USA boxing establishment backing Jay Z and the African American fanbase . Kovalev clearly defeated Ward first fight and was slightly ahead in the 2nd. It’s just a disgusting racial and political propaganda culture in the USA and boxing knows who to get behind.

He truly is a casual . I mean sub 80 iQ is definitely thstvif he thought Ward won those rounds. It’s a disgrace he uses the name Harry Greb, maybe one of the best fighters who ever lived.

Ward was one of the most overrated frauds of this generation. The son of a white man who was marketed to the African American fanbase because they had no other talent to root for above welterweight.
