    Floyd, Rigo, Lomachenko and Lara are better pure boxers than Ward's ever been.

    Fair enough, make a case for Kovalev winning if you saw it that way, but to say he 'outboxed' Ward just weakens your case though hyperbole. Neither outboxed the other. It was a close fight which I had Ward winning.

    Don't mind him, everything he posts is race related. If it was someone pushing the agenda the other way around, they would be banned.

    He must have felt horrible when Kovalev tapped that ass onto the canvas in the 2nd!

    I had $200 on a Ward decision, even though I prefer Kovalev. Vegas is too predictable for 'their' fighters.

    Plenty of close fights had they gone the other way would have been a robbery. For example Pac Morales I. Morales only won 7 rounds to 5. But had he not gotten the decision it would be robbery.

    Kovalev outboxed him. He landed more, threw more and landed harder.

    Kovalev should to lived up to his moniker. He krushes people. Where was the krushing? He never went for it and it cost him his belts.

    Man almost everybody in the media said Kovalev won.

    You're basically just disagreeing with almost everybody.

    He didn't really outbox him overall though.
