First, I think Kovalev deserves a rematch. However, name calling stops being effective after Kindergarten.
No that would not make me happy. I can see a trilogy here but Ward just doesn't seem to want to fight very much. He's still in his prime; dude should be fighting 3 times a year, putting tons of $$$ away but he's content to fight rarely and do video interviews often.
Kovalev is a bit of a cry baby sore loser. and ward is trolling him. if they dont fight or have a fight in place by the end of the year I'll take this back but I think they will def rematch Kovalev had a great first 6 rounds of the fight then he faded hard. even if you think kovalev won "wide" you have to admit he lost at least 4 of the last 6
That was not really a TOUGH fight for Kov. He took next to no damage. While the boxing match was close (which shouldn't have been seeing as ward was supposed to be the superior boxer) the damage inflicted wasn't close. All Ward did was survive and fought admirably at that. That's where it ends though.
I feel Kovalev should move on. I felt he defeated Ward pretty clearly. I don't need to see it again. Most people agree. Kovalev is an exciting fighter and I don't like all this wasting of time over the rematch. Let's get him back in the ring. If Ward decides he wants to rematch him I'm Sure Sergei will take him up on it
He needs to get his belts back that were stolen from him. Ward has to step up and take his beating or vacate and retire.
Yeah that's about the sum of it,shame that he lost his belts as I couldn't find the seven rounds for Ward but Kovalev did fade and it surprised me. He's going about this the wrong way,not that there's much he can do anyway as Ward has already come out with Kovalev and his team need to act like I won lol,sounds straight forward to me in that Ward signed a contract that stipulated a rematch should Kovalev lose and for that Kovalev has every right to be upset,I'd of thought the money was too good to turn down from Ward though.
Ward already took a beaten he was put on all fours and was chipped up at the final bell. Most fans and almost all experts agree he lost. I want to see him step up as well, and he might I'm not ruling that out, for the rematch but so far he is clearly stalling. Whether it's for more money or he's scared I don't know but in the meantime I'd like to get Kovalev back in action. If Ward returns and fights anyone but Kovalev most ppl will realise he didn't want the rematch so he's kind of in a limited position.
To you. His nose didn't start bleeding by itself. It was a tough fight for both. Ward said he didn't think kov hit that hard.
I don't know any ward fans who want to see the rematch. Come to think about it, I don't know a single true ward fan excluding forum members..
I want to see the rematch. I think Ward wins even wider this time, but he wont get credit for it. The same people will hate him, and criticize him.
