    I had it 4-2 but felt it was probably closer to 3-3. Very much what you like in this one, snapping Kov's head back with that jab was big in my eyes.

    Now all we need is for Stevenson to get knocked out and let the new blood in.

    Don Turner had it right when he said Kovalev's a puncher, but not a thinker.

    His inability to use his head cost him in both the 1st Ward fight and now his fight with Alvarez.

    As much as we've beefed I'd actually have a beer with you because you're not a complete internet troll and do have some serious posts. I'd never agree to meet that weirdo Lewis Gassed ever. I've never seen one serious post from him, just anti-wilder ****. As biased as you are, you at least seem "real" if that makes sense, and I'd assume your personality on here and real life would be similar. Lewis is probably some stuttering fool that would looked down to the ground while I talked to him, too scared to make eye contact.

    Do you still think Kovalev the Krusher, after witnessing that, would have recovered from his ordeal in the Ward fight? I don't think so. The reality is, Krusher has something of a glass jaw. Ward revealed it, Alvarez firmly capitalized on it.

    Kovalev was seen as one of the invincible greats though. Like Wlad or Golovkin.

    In a different league from everyone else.

    Ward got a lot of credit for beating one of the "invincibles," now some of that will go away.

    Obviously it's still a great win for Ward. Just not as big.

    Yeah 4-2 is fine but some of the rounds were close

    I'm a much bigger fan of Bivol but I don't know man, that jab Alvarez has is just sick, it would be closer than I'd care to admit and I don't know if there should be a heavy favorite.

    Nah, he was good. Ward just took a lot out of him. Once you quit your career is pretty much over.
