Or maybe Ward negated him?
I find the rematch more interesting to see who makes the best adjustments.
Kovalev was very dominant on the outside for me. That surprised me actually. I know how good Kov is but i didnt expect him to be that in control when the fight was long, he was drawing counters and countering them ffs. This isnt a normal brawler/power puncher. His jab is also sensational.
Im not normally a fan of instant rematches, but this fight I want to see again. Hell I wish the first one was 15 rnds.

Yes he should he was the aggressor landing power shots to jabs... Take the blinkers off he was landing more in mostly all the damn rounds some of you are scoring jabs as a damn power shot in what world do you live in?
I'm just simply not biased and admit what was clearly a very close either way fight.
Kovalev didn't really land that many power shots after the 2nd round.
In the second half of the fight, Ward did a great job of controlling the distance, frustrating Kovalev and did really good body work. That's what gave him the advantage in the second half on most cards. I only scored Kovalev the 10th in the last 6 but I could see other rounds going to him though because a lot of those rounds were close aswell.

Originally posted by Tom Cruise View PostPersonally I think Kov got fatigued trying to stop Ward working on the inside. As the fight went on he looked more desperate and Ward had more success on the inside. With that I think Kov was more wary of committing and cutting the ring off through fear of the fight moving close again. The body shots were definitely getting to him

I think after he timed Ward coming in with the right hand and dropped him Ward was very wary and tentative to throw the right hand and it worked massively in Kovalev's favour in the first 6.
I don't think Ward expected to be hit as much with the jab either.

You have every right to be upset. You know I had Ward, you know I don't particularly like Kov and I'm glad to see guys like Freedom whine and cry. I still had kov winning a close close fight.
I'd like to see the rematch on the east coast.
