I know ffs these guys are the worst they never can give Ward his just dues, they say Ward would never take the fight, he did, they said he wouldn't get knocked out and lose, he went the distance and won. Then they scream robbery and say he won't take the rematch and if he does he will be knocked this time etc etc. The cycle continues......
Except, he did beat him. He beat him by a very close and competitive unanimous decision, but he beat him nonetheless.
Excellent post, everything you said was right. If Ward was on the other end of the decision these guys would be crowing Kovalev the p4p king, an ATG and writing his speech for the boxing HOF. Whether someone believe Kovalev should of won or not, by saying Ward is a bum, a coward not the p4p no.1 also diminishes Kovalev's reputation coz HE LOST TO HIM in a close fight.
Let me guess: you thought he'd duck the first time? Then you thought he'd get knocked out? Does he need to prove you wrong again?
That was some classic home town cooking going on. no way did ward do enough to take those belts away from kovalev. ward didnt fight like a champion, he spoiled!
If he refuses a rematch he'll be crucified in regard to public opinion. Even before the fight ended and the cards were read, the fight had "rematch" written all over it. It's a great match up. They did not disappoint and I want to see it again!
You know, 95% of me wants Ward to take the rematch and shut the critics up for good The other 5% of me wants him to not take the rematch so we can have butthurt for decades just like TKO6.
I thought Ward did not have the sack to fight Kov the first time? He did and won! The man has consistently proven you haters wrong time after time! Maybe you should start embracing the man instead of rejecting him!
He didn't win though. You just need to accept it! Just stop it! STOP! Repeat after me... WARD GOT A GIFT DECISION AND I WILL ACCEPT THAT FACT. SERGEY KOVALEV HAS THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE AND BOXERS VOTE. ANDRE DID NOTHING TO SILENCE ANY HATERS. I WILL AWAIT ANDRES EXECUTION AT THE HANDS OF THE KRUSHER IN 5 MONTHS.
No way did Ward win that - granted he did come on strong in the 2nd half but it seemed like too little too late.
A lot of people on here have gone down in my estimation. cant believe people think ward getting his hand raised was the right decision.
