    Not that i agree 100% but Kovalev did just that.
    Ward got close, and Kova either tied him up or put him in an headlock.

    Head control and the use of forearms to push and position will always be a part of inside fighting.

    No one can claim in all honesty that Andre Ward is not a dirty fighter after watching that video. He makes B-Hop look like Mother Teresa
    I hope Sergey knocks his ass out COLD!!!! He must have paid Jack Reiss a fortune kn the Kessler fight

    Somehow I have a feeling if Golovkin or Kovalev excelled at elbowing and headbutting people you wouldn't praise their inside fighting skills and compliment their acuity in the sweet science, I bet you'd rcall them filthy dirty cheats, wouldn't you?

    I don't think Ward is an outright dirty fighter. I just think his need to tie up sometimes ends up badly for the opposing fighter who's expecting to still be fighting on the outside, and not pushing Ward away. His elbows are usually when he misses his hooks, he just has a bony arm and it looks like its intentional.
    Holyfield fought the exact same way with the incoming head.

    SOB threw headbutt after headbutt, intentional, SOB wrestled, threw numerous low blows, blows to the testicles, elbows and Ward's personal referee, referee Tyrd over looked SOB's cheating over and over again...............

    I'm not into these partisan double standards, so no. Chavez, Duran, Mayweather, Toney, Porter, Ward, Golovkin all use their forearms and head to leverage and control an opponent on the inside. That's not dirty to me. Ortiz headbutting Floyd, or Judah low-blowing Mayweather, that's dirty.

    did anyone check the elbows and forearms in SOG face. or the times he was held, or the headbutts he received.

    Ladies this is a combat sport and sometimes it gets dirty., but of course there are rules, the rules existed before SOG and will continue after him. therefore there were rule violations before him and after him.

    watch any abika fight any of them. Its always ugly.

    1. Dirty and unsportsmanlike are two different things. I didn't even state an opinion on that incident so not sure why you brought it up.

    2. ATG's are not bums.
