Lol at Ward referring to another fighter as arrogant. Kovalev maybe that but in no way shape or form is Ward not aloof and arrogant himself.
Oh we have "DEALED WITH IT" and we're ALL in agreement! Sergey is the people's champ and deserved the nod in the first fight If you're are one of those "folk" that are in the minority and feel Ward won.. well you have a right to your opinion. But remember people will ALWAYS have access to that first fight and I don't see that 80% for Sergey changing anytime soon DEAL WITH IT
I believe he realizes his antics can be considered arrogance...human vs human you need to feel you're superior. I think Ward and his team are shocked at the fact that despite how controversial the result was for the first fight that SK and his team believe they dominated and were robbed. I remember breaking down the fight with my old trainer and he simply told me did the fight look like a typical Sergey painting or a typical Ward painting? That tells you who won the fight.
I actually had money on the fight for Sergey it's well documented and memorialized, I then proceeded to score it 114-113 for Ward go figure....
You can create fight talk, talk fiction, lie, exaggerate and say whatever else gives you confidence that Kov wins but if he doesn't fight inside and ***s us to death again like he did in the first fight he will lose again. Jumping around headlocking Ward because he didn't want to fight inside.
All I know is that I love all of this **** talk and with so much being throw around somebody better go out on a stretcher come June. I will be there in the flesh and I better make some money or I'll Nancy Kerrigan both of these clowns to the knees. If you don't know who she is GOOGLE IT!!!
Woe is me!! Seriously, nobody has sympathy. Russians=vodka problem stereotype? Same as Americans=cheeseburger problem stereotype endorsed by Europeans. All that b.s. means squat since stereotypes are endorsed by people who have never even been to the country they're stereotyping!
He should actually do something like this if he wants to show that he's sincerely sorry for his actions. He has crossed the line. I wouldn't take any other kind of apology from him at this point.
Every elite athlete is arrogant, especially in boxing. You don't go far in boxing if you don't think mentally that you're on top of the world and a special human being. That's all fine with me, Ward is just fake and thinks people won't see through that. He should just go full heel, it would be better for his career and his fights would sell more. I honestly don't know who he is trying to fool.
I like both fighters. I enjoy watching Kovalev more, but I appreciate Ward's resume much more. With that said. It was a very close fight. Most people can't score fights. Ward won. Ward is the UNIFIED LHW champion. Ward is getting a bigger piece of the pie, again. In the rematch, may the best man win.
