    I'm OK thanks. Nothing I said was untrue was it?

    Calm down, B0xingsc3ne posted an article a few months ago which had those same very quotes from Kovalev. Not everyone is on their computers all day like yourself.

    Oh and I forgot to mention one more thing, the official result of the fight was 23 to 16. There's highlights of the fight somewhere on youtube.

    Wrong.

    He fought Bad Chad Dawson back in 2012.

    I'm talking about someone not drained to death who wasn't brutally KO'd a week before the fight in sparring

    "It's very simple. That day we were prepared for a ten round workout. In the ninth round, Miranda executed something that I've been telling him to do the whole workout - left [hand], right hand, left hook - and he knocked him down. It was devastating for me, because I don't want to see something like that, but it happened. He was hurt. He tried to get up, he went down again, and got up. In fact, I screamed to Rafael Garcia 'come and help him,'"

    Miranda's trainer, Pedro Diaz

    it's widely known this happened, and that Dawson was eating very little, looking very weak, to make 168

    Cuenca or Malignaggi both would have KO'd Dawson that night.

    Thanks Watching that shows Ward has not changed much from His amature fights....still one of the most boring Fighters on the planet...and very lucky they were wearing Head Gear....

    I am also reading that it was a flash KD and Dawson got up and was fine ...
