Thanks for the responses. After watching this fight, how do you see Kovalev Ward fight playing out? Or it doesn't affect your judgment as it ages ago and can't be used as gauge?
Very good question and thread. 1. I have to say its very difficult to judge who won but it was close if you don´t count KDs. 2. To me, it looked like the first and the third were legit KDs. Btw. Olympic boxing is mainly politics. Thats why it doesn´t really mean nothing did you won gold, silver or bronze. I think a medal is the only real accomplishment.
He was decked heavily by Darnell Boone (22 losses on his record) in the pros too. To be fair he could bang but still... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joptH6kQg18
Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev would batter ward pillar to post. And i rate Andre Ward as a top 5 p4p talent.
