    Kovalev was landing borderline rabbit punches
    It was Shabranskyy. Not hard to look sharp against. He did what he should have done. I'm looking forward to his next fight now.

    Kovalev regains the top spot at 175 as far as I'm concerned... Stevenson has to step up to the plate or vacate.. This fight has to happen and Stevenson remains ducking the Kovalev fight.

    Pretty honest and insightful statement from Kovalev there, actually.

    "Right now I am proved just to be a belt holder. Want to see who actually is best at light heavyweight"

    YEAH!

    I mean, the WBO does make him a legit world champ once more (the newfangled IBA, not so much) but a) just a decade or so ago the WBO had roughly as much acceptance in the boxing community as the IBA does now, so...it still ranks fourth among the major sanctioning org bodies, even with the manifold problems the other three perennially have and b) you don't become the man in a division, even one in which you were the clear longtime #2 and the #1 has retired, by defeating a solid but still very beatable (for a variety of different styles, past a certain threshold of skill level) guy like Shabranskyy.

    Good on him for recognizing there is more work to do to regain his throne.

    At least LHW is a talent rich division.

    Damn it sure took a legend in Ward to fluster, outbox, and beat this monster.

    Shabrabnskyy isn't difficult to hit but he still looked very sharp tonight.

    Ward wouldn't have even agreed to one Russian judge, let alone the rest of it. I'm not even exaggerating lol

    Yeah guys, hold your breath for Ward to give Kovalev a third shot. It'll be the co-feature to JMM taking Manny's "heeeeey buddy, don't you want a chance to even it up numerically? :D :D :D" sucker bait and granting a 5th match.

    When a ref sees a guy hurt so badly that he's reeling and wide-open he should waive it off right away, he doesn't have to give him the chance to avoid one more punch.

    I know Serge. Ward is like a real life Bond villain with an Oakland Headquarters.

    No he's just a serial cheating, deck-stacking, loading-dice rolling disingenuous lying entitled diva faux Christian **** (rhymes with punt) who refuses to fight on a level playing field and who won't sign on the dotted line unless he has every advantage in his favour.

    Kind feel for the Nail, who was the WBO number one. Kovalev looked great, but I wonder how he might have fared against Gvozdyk had the latter received the crack at the title that he deserved.
