Lmfao, so now Kovalev ain't **** ??? Why would Ward struggle so terribly over 20 ish rounds to fight dead even with a China chin'd no durability weakling???
I’ll bet it’s the first time you seen a genuine uppercut twice in a row and guy without the Ref stepping in right? Ok Golata was one other example but he got warned and disqualified as should Ward,did you see his face and his intentions?i swear if it hadn’t of ended Ward would still be there now repeatedly uppercutting the guys balls. Imo that was his plan B and the Ref had to blind or something worse.
Noticeably stronger in the second fight,usual story gos quiet on rematch and out of nowhere the fights on when he chooses lol.......been cycling and not on his bike lol
Still weird about how this whole Kovalev situation with Ward has developed, he obviously got robbed the first fight and in the second fight he got whacked in the nuts multiple times which will can weaken any man. Kovalev has been blaming himself for everything which is not true, dude should not have been staying humble and defeated after the second fight, he got conspired against that night and should have called them out. What he should have done in the second fight is to whack Ward in the nuts blatantly and not care if he gets disqualified and penalized for it, it was 2 vs 1 in the ring and he should have reverted to his street mentality he had while growing up. Damn shame because he most likely won't ever fight Ward again.
Kovalev is not "in danger" like it's 50/50 or worse for him but he is "in danger" because he's not fighting Blake Caparello or Igor Mikhalkin.
depends how hard Kovalev trained for this fight. if his cardio isn't up to shape, he could be stopped, like against Ward II. Alvarez isnn't a KO artist by any means, but either was Ward... lets see if Alvarez goes to the body.
Lol given Russia’s track record with PEDs it’s highly likely SKs has used PEDs in this we can agree,came across like I was singling Ward out I know but it’s a pattern we see, quite often in rematches when nothing should be holding the fight off for the next available date it gets delayed for a period of time and whilst Kovalev visibly wilted against Ward you can’t deny Ward looked bigger and stronger. Could of happened naturally but the PED thing in all sports has reached such epic proportions then you have to wonder?and for the record I’m ok with it just as the athletes don’t view it as cheating,more levelling the field.
The sad part is kovalev was really dominating. I thought he was looking bad in the first 2 rounds, I thought it was over. But he had the guy hurt and came on stronger after that. Then the counter right came out of nowhere and it was over.
