Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Yarde Was 2-3 Punches Away From Stopping Kovalev

[mjbjst]

Yarde was gassing by the 6th, had Kov in the 8th but put everything he had left into it and when he came out in the 9th we were looking for him to keep the pressure on and look to finish it but he was empty he could hardly throw a punch.

It was funny, at the end of the 5th he was looking shattered and the UK commentators were talking about how fit he still looked and could knock easily knock it up a gear or 2, i was starting to worry that the exact opposite was about to happen.

UK commentators are so freaking annoying

You are assuming Ward is versed in all things illuminati. Last time I checked he was a highly decorated pro boxer and most likely didn't spend his downtime on global conspiracy websites.

Lol.......true

These euro-bums just cant do it like the ALL-AMERICAN Andre 'S.O.G' Ward! I've been hurting since you left champ! The game hasn't been the same.

Same here.......

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

How exactly is the incompetence of d ref ward's fault

[Walexhris]

If yarde doesn't spar, I wonder what he does, infact I'd love to know what he does instead

Ward Derangement Syndrome is still going strong. Heck, who doesn't like watching Kovalev but Ward showed us the monster was actually a little bit vulnerable and some folks still can't accept that. Alvarez should as once again in their 1st fight and now a green Yarde nearly wipes him out.

If its Deranged because we actually know he was low blowing Kov to Bolivia then call me deranged.

Lol at some of the moronic comments in this thread.

Ward was dead on in breaking this fight down and was very solid on the actual call. He was fair to both fighters and pointed out the in fight adjustments when they were made. And of course before the fight he thought Yarde would gas out late and get stopped…..Which is exactly what happened.

Yup, he provided praise for Kovalev and I thought gave a very accurate assessment of him and the matchup. I thought Kovalev was close to going too. Very entertaining scrap and Yarde showed me more than I thought he had.

I like Ward as an announcer. He's very articulate and precise in his analysis. He's much better IMO than any of his counterparts with the PBC or DAZN broadcast teams. I just wish I could have RJJ over Mora or Lennox or Boom Boom.

Absolutely, only guy on his level right now is Paulie. SHO crew is still the best, but Ward is very good on the mic.

He gives props to both fighters and that results in getting hate from some fans LOL.

Kovalev lost fair and square in both fights.

Ward will always be greater than Kovalev.

"fair and square" rofl...
