My advice would be - If you think it will be a bad fight, don't watch it.
Didn't end or ruin Groves' career imo. Made him money, made him a household name, he has had a title shot since and who knows what the future...
Wilder decision.
Ward's chin is solid. Doesn't really matter though, Kovalev hits hard enough to crack a solid chin.
It's possible he could wobble or floor Kovalev despite him not being a particularly powerful puncher. Timing can be incredibly effective.
Some people like that sort of thing. There is actually a skill and intelligence in being able to effectively utilize these techniques and get away...
The fact that they were willing to pay him more is a pretty good reason imo.
I don't think this will be a problem. I disagree with those who say Ward has looked bad at 175. I think he understandably was a little rusty but...
Yes but it would be a real struggle. I think he would only do it for the right fight and paycheque.
Sad to hear this news. I thought he was taking a hell of a beating in those latter rounds and was impressed with how tough and brave he was. I...
There's still time for Kovalev to pull out too.
Impressive performance by Andrew Selby too.
It will not make much difference in the grand scheme of things.
Both guys looked their usual selves to me. Can't wait to see how this one plays out.
Another good 12 round fight that will help Groves improve and mature as a fighter.
