Like I said, I gave Kov the nod but to act like it wasn't a close fight is just being a hater! To cry robbery is obtuse! Better fighter? Well Ward made the adjustment and Kov never got close to dropping Ward again. If Kov was the better fighter he didn't make the correct adjustment to get Ward out of there, so I must side with Ward on that one! The rematch will be interesting! I'm still gonna go with Ward! I can't side with fools like you to be honest! You guys are weird! The man crush thing and all. You take the sport too seriously and always downing other fighters...Pathetic!!! Ward 1 Kovalev 0, Ward #1 Kovalev somewhere between 3-5! He had his chance to be top dog and blew it! But what do you expect from someone that got a gift decision against a shop worn journey man, gatekeeper in Darnell Boone! LOL
Ward takes the rematch, unless it's held outside of the USA (which would be fair) at which point Ward bails. Or, he bails if they bring in Russian judges (again, that would be fair).
I did not read the entire thread so I apologize if this came up but there is a real chance that Ward could retire. His goal was to be an eventual HOFer and this would do it for him.
So he practically took the affirmative action way out, get rewarded for incompetence and avoid hard work. I dont think this will get him in to the hall of fame when he clearly robbed Kova, maybe he will but I dont see it.
May I be the first to welcome you to this site! Just to let you know, there are some very knowledgeable boxing minds that frequent this site and most are very welcoming and willing to teach you things that may help you gain greater insight into the great sport of boxing. There are a few that are just disagreeable individuals that are set in their ways and no matter how well you present an argument to them they will still find ways to bash fighters they do not like. If you can get past the racial divides that sometime pop up on here , you will find this place to be very informative and entertaining. Once again, welcome to the site.
"You take the sport too seriously and always downing other fighters... Pathetic!!" LMAO Then you proceed to say "What do you expect from someone who got a gift decision against SHOP WORN GATEKEEPER" Wow!! Hypocrite much??!!! Can't side with fools like us there huh Ace? That's ok... stay on team deluded!! Your uneasiness and paragraphs of rage are more enjoyable Enjoy the majorities opinions on this fight and even more so... enjoy the rematch. Seeing Ward get cracked against an insanely motivated Kovalev will be nice.
Your spot on lol I think he needs to take the fight away from HBO because these ****s will get him robbed.
Now now Wardlet... stop reading the polls and DON'T watch the fight again and you'll be happier! Ward gets to borrow Kovalevs belts for a few months!!! Remember you're not alone. There is 30% of boxing fans that think Ward one too. Just ignore those 70%. And remember there is an open hotline for help... 1-800-LETS-PRETEND-WARD-WON
How am I deluded when I gave Kovalev the nod? What I am simply saying is, it was a close fight and understand how people gave Ward the win! If you can get out of your deluded funk maybe you can comprehend what I am saying! I give you 6 and you cry that you want a 1/2 dozen LOL
You must be one of those clowns who were scrounging for rounds to give to lucas despite getting knocked down and outboxed for most of the fight by Garcia, to somehow justify a Draw, am I right?
