Originally posted by TheUptownKid View PostHagler had been champ for what 8 years undefeated and lost what he considered a robbery. The story ray says is that Hagler didn't want less, he didn't want to build a rematch but he wanted an immediate rematch (as it was huge the first time regardless). The business end was never haglers thing but he felt disrespected is what Bert sugar says. He was a proud man who thought he was cheated out of his lineage, what would be his desire to duck? He wasn't scared of his power, he won the second half of the fight, ray was available to be hit and he had just made 11 million. Why wouldn't he want that situation again?

Originally posted by TheUptownKid View PostI know boxing and more importantly I know the nuances of scoring. I know judges are human too. I think kovs fast start, combined with the early kd and the change in pace afterward played into judges minds. I believe ward may have won some rounds because kov didn't dominate. For a fighter who is labeled as defensive this is par for the course. Kovs lack of energy was palpable and the whole arena saw it. He turned a light on and won round 10 but again the fact that Ward was consistent while kovs energy waned played a role in scoring. Yet and still I had ward winning 7 rounds.

Originally posted by boliodogs View PostI don't like the way Ward fights either and some of the tactics he uses are illegal. It's up to the ref to enforce the rules and often they fail to do so. Ward usually fights near his home town where he can do no wrong. I hope Kovalev knocks Ward out this time.
