    How did Ward “Ruin” Sergey Kovalev? Robbery1 + Nut Stoppage 2

    Why is Ward feeling awkward with Canelo? Lol

    How much damage did Ward do to Kovalev in the first fight? Rumor was that he was robbed?

    Second fight, Kovalev gets clipped, wobbled, doesn’t get dropped. Supposedly gets clipped in the nuts.

    He then destroys Shabramsky. Seems like Eleider Alvarez ruined Kovalev?

    Then Kova’s rematch with Eleider and Kovalev handles it.

    Then Kovalev goes to war with body testing with Yarde. Yarde takes punishment lasting 4 more fights.

    Ward broke his will. he crushed the boogeyman aura around Kovalev. and Ward faced a prime prepared Sergey. the one that faced Canelo looked like a skeleton and a shell of his former self. i still give Nelo props for winning but gotta factor that in.

      But Boone dropped both. Their will wasn’t broken afterwards.

        The 1st fight was not a robbery. It was a generous decision. Robbery is overused significantly. Kovalev should've got the decision because of the KD. I had it 7-5 Sergio or 6-6 if being generous. Having it 7-5 for Ward (what every judge had) is not impossible although definitely generous.

        Ward beat Kovalev clearly in the 2nd fight. People blame Ward for the poor referee Tony Weekes, but it was master class by Ward.

          just put it like this. Ward and Canelo did not beat the same version of Kovalev. the one Nelo beat was depleted and drained. Ward beat the prime Sergey. Ward was not prime vs Boone he was a young cub. and he won the fight anyway.

            Kovalev was 33-34 years old when he fought Ward in both fights.

            Crawford is 32.

              It's just a narrative some prefer OP, ideally they wanted Ward to beat the "bogeyman" in the first fight but they know Kovalev beat their man on home soil.

                Kovalev defeated Ward in their first fight. The second fight he was nut shotted to death. He may have lost that fight anyway but man that was a bad stoppage.

                  Why're we making excuses for Krusher? He was good, then he lost, then he was just decent. You can say Ward took his fire, you can say age caught time, you can say the division caught up to him, whatever, clearly he started slipping when he started losing.

                    Then why did everyone praise a masterclass performance in the Alvarez 2 fight? He also jabbed Yarde with a KO in the late rounds...
