Andre Ward clearly won that fight

I appreciate the fight very much, just not the decision.

 

But you scored 118-110 for Jeff Lacy when he fought Calzaghe crackhead.

 

You have to take in to account the competition , chocolatito never fought anyone remotely close to the caliber of ward or Kovalev so you have no idea how good any fighter is if you're going off how "great" a fighter "looks".

Your competition dictates how good, bad, great and **** athletes looks.

 

I just watched Kovalev vs ward ,

Respect to both great fighters, what I can say is ward showed a great heart and resolve because he was dominated, looked like he wasn't going to last 4 rounds but after 6 he fought Kovalev on even terms.

Guys, that's IF, (HYPOTHETICALLY REMOVING THE FIRST 6 SIX ROUNDS) rounds 6 through 12 were great rounds and I could see a case made for a draw or 1 point win either way for either fighter, but that's ONLY when removing rounds ONE thru SIX, because Kovalev dominated the first half.

Ward fought a couple close rounds like 4 and maybe 6 (can't remember) but 4 rounda and the kd were too clear for Kovalev .

There was just absolutely zero plausible way to have ward any where close to a draw , never mind actually WINNING... disgustingly

 

You must think Ward's body punches count more than Kovalev's head shots, because Kovalev landed more punches in the fight and scored a knockdown to top it off.

You must have smoked the same stuff the thread-starter smoked.

 

LMAO!! GO FIGURE!! Deep down... certain people on here know what's up

Ward lost and the majority feel he did.

 

ttuu

 

Sure he did, Estrada. Plus, he's in his fourth weight class. Kovalev is in his first and Ward is in his second. Fighting normal fighters in your fourth weight class is equivalent in difficulty to fighting p4p fighters in your first. And Viloria used to be top 10, and Cuadras has a record almost as good as Kovalev's, victor of 7 title fights and he's only 28. Sosa won 12 title fights. Yaegashi was the man at flyweight and held his title through 5 defenses when Gonzalez beat him. Viloria won 8 title fights and was a champion for the WBA, WBO, IBF, and WBC. After Gonzalez beat him, Takayama went on to become champion again. These aren't push overs.

 

A lot of what you saw Cuadras throwing wasn't really landing. Chocolatito was blocking and deflecting well. Cuadras, while strong, was sloppy and Gonzalez would counter with crisp shots that broke Cuadras guard and definitely did land. Cuadras would have moments, but Gonzalez would win the rounds. Gonzalez was the worse for wear at the end, but he controlled the first three quarters of the fight.

 

Arghhhhhhhhh....

Listen bruh...

SOG is my man who I rode wit since the super 6 but..

I keep it 100..

Here it goes..

ANDRE WARD CLEARLY LOST THAT FIGHT .

KOVALEV CLEARLY WON THAT FIGHT .

I'm sorry, its pains me to say this but I'm always going be honest even if I don't like the result .

 

Kovalev got jobbed.

Best case scenario I can make for Ward was 6-6, which means he still loses
on points due to the KD.

Kovalev dominated the first half of the fight and no way did Ward win all of the last 6 rounds. Classic example of a hometown decision.

 

He didn't need to win all 6.

You haven't been engaging with the discussion.

Round 3 was close, many giving it to Ward. Ward won 5 clearly. So that's 2 of the first 6.

Ward swept 7-9, so that's 5.

He probably lost 10.
He won 11.

12 was again close, many gave it to Ward. That would make 7.
