    It never fails talk **** about one fighter being afraid of the other fighter and he will get knocked out fight is signed then move on to excuse mode, paid off judges guys is on roids biased ref guy was never that good to begin with you name it. I've seen these trolls do this countless times. It's embarrassing really.

    Actually it's not that different. In fact, you're a prime example of the point you made in your post.

    Maybe. But "exposed" is hardly the word I'd use, he's not particularly credited with a strong chin lol.

    Why am I a dreamer?

    because of wards style and the importance of the fight you need an impartial ref.

    seen that byrd is the ref.
    not a fan if the fight is to be a spectacle

    IMO ward will potshot from the outside catch kovalev and then fall in to the inside and maul and slow down kovalev workrate and negate his power.

    this is fine as tactic as long as its not to the extreme and the fight becomes a clinch fest

    i have seen byrd allow fighters to do this over and over without ever taking a point and makes me think that makes ward favourite.

    refs in this type of fight make a difference.

    maybe byrd will keep it as clean as he can / ward is not an easy fighter to ref as he gives the ref [plenty of work to do.

    It could be in Kovalev's back yard it doesn't matter, if Ward wins he will have an excuse as will all the haters.

BUT As we all know that did not happen Pacquaio got royally screwed before the fight even started Mayweather aint got the stones to fight FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I will believe it when I see it. You never give guys their due if they win you're full of excuses.
