    The similarities are here. 2 former p4p fighters, who were known for their aggressive style and power and was seen as invincible, loses twice to the same guy whom many thought they beat in the first fight but then gets stopped in the rematch. Except Kovalev was winning (imo) before he folded mentally while Gonzalez had nothing at all. It will be hard to see them the same way again.

    Makes me think if Golovkin will meet the same fate when he faces Canelo.

    I made same comment last night on the RBR thread. HBO wimped out by not bringing in up meanwhile it was right in their face I guess theydidnt want to ruffle Ward's feathers by admitting most including themselves had Sergey winning first fight.

    Fury beating WK is a better win than either of them.

    With both fighters many felt they won the first fight and in the case of Kovalev I thought he was winning the return before the low blow foul. Gonzalez wasnt beaten by a low blow.
    Had the decision gone the other way first time for either chances are these rematches may not have happened, but they did and it must be awful to feel you lost on a foul

    The only thing it proves is that P4P lists are ridiculous.

    The whole P4P concept was invented for Sugar Ray Robinson. It should have been retired with him.

    The more I see it's like the more I don't know. I been watching this game for fifteen years and it's still throwing me curve balls. Some tough medicine there.

    Jim and Max thought Ward won. Harold is a bad scoring and probably would have had mcgreggor up vs floyd.

    Not sure of Jim. But Max scored fight at home and said he had it 114-113 Kovalev. I thought Jim had it for him as well.
    As for Harold I think he is a decent judge.

    Think again.
    Harold Lederman: "But of course Max, judges don´t have compubox, they scored the blood that came from the cuts..."
    Lederman is all about the numbers.

    Golovkin is not next.
    Golovkin beat up Kovalev in sparring and dropped him with a body shot.
    There's levels to power punching.
