    A trilogy isn't out of the question, I actually wouldn't mind it all. I know the first fight didn't have the sort of action that lures in casuals but I'm a sucker for the chess match ebbs and flows. I thought the momentum shifts where subtle but clear and the way both guys struggled to gain authority was awesome. It's what happens when two elites meet in the middle of the ring. Cotto/Floyd was another great fight to watch.

    No doubt: Kovalev actually landed more punches in the second half of the fight than he did in the first but they will not mention this because it kills their narrative and only serves to proves just how easily Kovalev deserved that win.

    If Kovalev has educated his jab and took control of his emotions then Ward might be in for a long (or short) night. If he comes out all steamed up, disrespecting Wards skills then he will get played and beat again.

    2 days to go. have to make sure I have enough beer and snacks in the house.
    which I then probably won't touch, because the fight takes place about 4 or 5am where I live.

    Great Video....I just get the feeling Kovalev will not let this Fight slip from His Grasp....He does not want the Fight to go to decision...if it does like the last fight it will favor Ward.!!!

    I have Ward by UD. Kovalev can't hurt him. Ward is smiling after the knockdown, means
    That Kovalev punches are not hard as they should.

    No, it meant that he was embarrassed or loopy or was badly hurt and trying to psyche Kovalev out, kind of like how guys when they get hit really hard and hurt tend to smile as a way to play off how ****ed up they really are, as almost every commentator reflexively point out.

    All SOB did was throw low blows, one after the other, he held, and always tried to use his headbutt, elbows, etc., but SOB knew he could count on his personal judges and referee

    Oh look, here's another shithead who thinks I have a terrible record because they've memorized a few of my more outlandish troll picks.

    This is my record on here. (yes on certain threads we keep records.)
    661-235 (328 KO)

    The esteemed IB's record.
    559-245 (264 KO)

    And IB is an absolute beast with an awesome record, so what's that make me?:naughty2:
