    You like to pretend, don’t you? Ward lost the first fight and he knocked out Kovalev with 3 nut shots. If that’s outclassing someone, YDKSAB.

    I know what I saw, it was outclassing. If Kovalev was better than Ward he would have pulled out a win one way there. That was his biggest fight, and he was rocked with a right hand from who he calls the Son of Judges.. Ward didn't need the judges on the second fight. That was an outclassing and there was not a dispute. Kovalev is fighting now as second to Ward, and to be honest he always will be.

    Kovalev had about the same fight against Chilemba that Bivol just did. Plus Chilemba is hardly shot, he's only 31 and this is how he always looks.

    Unless Alvarez lands a big shot that just badly hurts Kovalev, he's going to get his ass kicked.

    Bivol won the first three rounds.

    Clearly.

    Every other round was close, and to give them all to Bivol was a bit of a stretch.

    He didn't need the judges, just one dumb ref.

    I didn't think he did either after watching his last 2 fights, his power is deceptive to say the least.

    Barrera has power, but tried to keep up with Bivol's pace, which didn't end to well, since Bivol just wore him out. Chilemba did his best to control the pace of the fight, which is why he lasted the distance.

    You ***gots still crying about Ward beating Kovalev twice. 3 nutshots lmao, you mean Kovalev bending over giving Ward no space to operate after getting smashed by a massive right hand and tumbling all over the ring?
