Kovalev is really going in there with the mentality that Wards punches have no effect on him? People can roast Virgil all they want, but that man would never let his fighter have such a mindset. And whats with all the excuses from the Kovalev camp? -I got tired -Over trained -3 American judges -I am not from America -Pro Ward crowd -Kovalev didn't know that judges score weak punches. -The challenger has to take it from the champ one of the dumbest things in boxing I do love Kovalev's KO mentality, he seemed to lack it in the lead up to the first fight. And Ward is working hard to dominate him in the rematch. I think it will be an even better fight this time. Can´t wait.
When Ward said to his kid from 1:39, 'I told you I was gonna get you some more belts man', it honestly sounds like a man who stole them for his kid.
Yeah.. Andre is "working hard" and pulling out all the stops alright. This content is protected Still though... Sergey by stoppage before 9.
I found it amusing when Ward mentioned respecting Kovalev for taking the rematch against him That'll be the rematch Ward stalled until the last possible moment before committing to after considering retirement to get out of while Sergey announced in the ring post fight he would "kick his ass" when confirming he wanted to take up his rematch option. The guy badly needs humbled, luckily Kovalev will do just that come the 17th….can't wait - it should be an absolute classic. Kovalev TKO 10
This episode reminded me how funny it was to see the look of surprise on Ward's when the decision was announced. That tells me all I need to know
SOB was threatened by the signed contract, they were going to take him to court, so SOB had to fight the rematch or retire. SOB did not want the rematch. Kovalev did. Kovalev was cheated by the three criminals who were SOB fans, along with the referee. SOB plans to cheat again as usual, steroids, SOB insisted that he not have to take drug test but Kovalev has to...................SOB refused neutral judges, he said neutral judges would be unfair..............SOB knows the judges are owned by him, so is the referee, boxing commission, etc., SOB will headbutt, hold, pitty patter, low blows, testicle shots, elbows, kicking, biting, SOB can get away with anything. Wonder if SOB will bring a baseball bat into the ring?
SOB hardly landed anything, he punches to the testicles a lot, held, tried to headbutt, SOB knew the judges were owned by him......................Harold Lederman had it 116 - 111 Kovalev and he wanted SOB to win.............. Mayweather said that Kovalev clearly won the fight and he hates Eastern European fighters..........
thats it, the champions mentality. dont like the contract you willingly just signed? take you ball home and sulk in your room, for several years if necessary until you get your own way. thats what champs do son, here, look at some belts. I wonder if dirrell and ward often exchange advice on tactics?
Where did that question come from? But it is true that Kovalev managed to take away a lot of Wards weapons.
Thanks for being objective. Sometimes a discussion needs to be refocused. The question was meant to illustrate the fact that focusing on one person's reasons for why they lost the fight without objectively looking at the other person's reasons for they think they won the fight is biased. Really what can Andre Ward point to and say "there that is why I was the better man on the night!"? Other then three blind mice thinking that he won, of course...
