[littlemac]

What a cry baby, killer....kitty kovalev is. He just lost the biggest fight of his career, his undefeated record, and ALL HIS BELTS. ****ING CRYBABY
At first he was a coward because the crybabies fans said he wouldnt fight kitty,
then he was a coward for beating kitty,
now he's a coward because of the win he's taking advantage of the WIN.
YOU guys (we know who you are), dont make any sense with your crying.....
Is Chavez Sr a coward? because he didnt rematch whitaker....OHHH MY BAD

Pretty much.

You forgot to mentioned fighting like a coward also means moving up and fighting the best in the division.

It's not "moving up" if you can no longer make the weight as admitted by Ward himself

[Ake-Dawg]

The problem is this...

It was a very close fight and the majority of people who saw it had Kov winning. As close as it was, its easier to make a case for Kov winning than Ward. Kov dished out more damage and as a result felt he won.

Ward on the other hand is acting as if he won convincingly and "schooled" Kov when it was faaaar from. His own trainer even felt as if he was behind come rounds 11 and 12.

All Ward needs to say is..."If Kovalev felt he really won lets just do it again so that I can silence the critics". Instead he's talking about retiring if the "business" isn't right meanwhile he already signed a contract stipulating the rematch dealings.

What rulebook says Ward has to follow a certain script after winning a close fight? Why can't a fighter consider retirement after the toughest most lucrative fight of his career? What majority do you speak of? Maybe the majority of your circle. Also, why do you use the phrase "act like"? What got said that's acting like you schooled your opponent? Was it saying that he adjusted after the knock down? Was it saying he took away the right hand? Those are facts friend that even those who feel Kovalev won have to acknowledge.

then the majority of fighters in history never moved up if thats the case

Round 6: Kovalev - 9/36, Ward - 8/25

Round 7: Kovalev - 7/29, Ward - 11/32

Round 8: Kovalev - 10/38, Ward - 11/32

Round 9: Kovalev - 11/46, Ward - 17/38

Round 10: Kovalev - 21/58, Ward - 16/35

Round 11: Kovalev - 12/40, Ward - 13/26

Round 12: Kovalev - 13/47, Ward - 12/42

You can just look at the compubox stats and see that not only did Kovalev not appear to fade, he outlanded Ward in 3 of the last 6 rounds. Overall, Kovalev threw more punches and landed more punches throughout the entire fight. Plus he got a KD, plus he did far more damage to Ward than Ward did to him.

Clear gift decision to the guy that was the challenger, the guy who is supposed to "TAKE THE BELTS FROM THE CHAMPION", yet he barely survived, resorting to MMA tackles and hugs to avoid damage. Decision was a disgrace to the sport.

still using compubox to help your argument!?

Why does Ward need to fight him again? These automatic rematches are bull****

[Metho_4u]

So, he gets in the ring, wins, takes your belts, you cry, you cry some more, and then cry a little more, then you complain and call the guy a coward? Weren't you the one who pu$$ied out of fighting Stevenson? I hope Ward does retire now, just so you don't get your rematch, even though you'd lose a wide UD the next time. **** you serGAY pussalev

Damn, this here is a lot of ether!

[twosweethooks]

Only childlike ignorant Mayweather types would disagree with Kovalev !!

What really bothers me about Ward is he is acting a bit like may jr . Retire if the threat is real then come back when it's gone !

[buckfuddy]

Lol @ people who call Ward names. There is no reason, no damn reason to accuse Ward in something like cowardice or ****. You might not like his style which is ok, but coward no ****ing way. Boxing would have been in much better shape if it had more boxers like Ward, Loma, Choco etc, boxers who are looking for a challenge, not afraid to take it. While others seat on their asses and unify tomato can belts.
