Kovalev / Ward round 3 only

Anybody who scores for punches missed or defense is completely wrong. If I throw a million punches and land 3 and you throw 3 and land 2, all other things being equal (power, chin, etc.), I win, I hit you more.

 

It has nothing to do with what happened in round one and two. I only analyzed round three as this is the one that you commented on. In your blind hate for Ward, or blind love for Kovalev, you purposefully refuse to acknowledge Wards scoring blows during the round, while hyping up Kovalev hitting Wards gloves, which isn't scoring.

 

My point is for the people saying Kov missed too much. I had Kov winning the fight.

 

or vice versa

 

I realized your cornyness

 

So did I, but defense has to be taken into consideration, and if the other guy is landing at the same clip while throwing a lot less, he's probably getting the round based on ring generalship and defense.

 

No, I came to my conclusion after rewatching the round several times, and observing what each did. It's clear that Ward landed more scoring punches that round. Ward landed hooks as well, and more jabs. Kovalev punching Wards glove doesn't win him the round, neither do Kovalev's attempts at wrestling. Kovalev was also moved back by some Ward punches in the round. Some of you all, in your blind hate for Ward, give Kovalev punch multipliers. Each one of his shots that lands, must be worth five.

 

prove the punches were harder. smh.

 

Yep, and Ward only landed 10 less punches at a much higher percentage. Clearly he was more efficient.

 

Ummmmm ... the fact that Ward's faced was lumped up after the fight and that Sergey went off afterwards for a photoshoot for men's lotion?

 

We are discussing the 3rd round. Ward seemed to land the harder shots of the round as well as more punches.

As far as bruising, sure Ward was bruised. Kovalev is a hard puncher. I also saw Kovalev's snot box with a knot on it, and leaking later in the fight from Ward's jabs.
