    Maybe he can tour Europe giving ballsack punching seminars and bring them up to speed

      And Ward could’ve definitely taken an L in their first fight. All kinds of different scenarios could’ve happened but Kovalev won and that’s all that matters.

          Said the guy who was one point below looser with a gifted decision. Oh yeah, got KO by 2 punches below the belt combo with blind Byrd ****ting the fight.

            A good fight by all standards but Yarde should come back stronger because he belongs to that level.
            A lot more than that.

            Yarde is all smoke and mirrors. Big muscles exaggerated pull counters and check hooks. Easy to see coming when he is telegraphing everything and overconfident. He got schooled so bad I don't see any redeeming quality you could get out of his. Kovalev looks like he has a ******* addiction and spent half his camp partying and hungover. He didn't win because of "stamina". Most of that is just because he's not carrying 20 lbs of useless artificial muscle on his frame.

              What was surprising was that Kovalev outboxed Ward in their first match, when people only gave him a puncher's chance.
              Kovalev lost fair and square in both fights.

              Ward will always be greater than Kovalev.

                Did he really saying anything all that controversial or disrespectful? Honestly, people are bothered because Andre Ward said it. If anyone else gives the exact same assessment most folks would agree. Krusher got an excellent, hard-fought win. Especially given his age, he deserves all the respect in the world for a smart, gutsy performance...but he is vulnerable.

                  Not could’ve Ward should have lost the first fight clearly 8-4 9-3 Kovalev out smart, out box, and dropped Ward, heck he even out jab Ward easily. That was a clear robbery.

                    Hell no, Kovalev got clearly robbed in the first fight and cheated in the second, with incompetent ref.

                      If I understood correctly commentators, Yarde didn't do any sparrings in camp. Sounds very strange if true. No prev experience above 7 rounds, no sparrings - how one can prepare for 12 rnds against champion? How test/improve your stamina without hard work camp?
