I scored the fight a draw. Kov's fans are crying, and they aren't giving Ward any credit for lasting 12 and forcing the fight when many thought that he would be ko'd after the jab wobbled Ward and later the knockdown. I don't care about that. You clowns didn't think that Ward would fight this way back and you didn't expect this fight to go like this win or lose. You expected Ward to run, and he didn't. He fought his way back into the fight. You don't even appreciate both guys effort tonight. Ward was hurt early, Ward coming on late, Kov looking like he was wearing down and still reached deep down and fought on even though it seemed that his power was sapped a bit...and BOTH both guys "will" was worn on their faces in the chip rounds. You're just crying now because you're dick riders. Same to Wards excited fans. Happy he won. Has anyone even said great fight yet? We wanted to see a great fight and although many of you didnt expect a great fight though......i don't doubt that you all didn't want to see a good fight. You got one and now your incessant cheering AND crying is like hearing a dog barking all night. Aggravating. Appreciated the fight. Don't do this **** for Loma Walters.
I think Loma/Walters will be a blow out, I could be wrong though I thought Ward/Kovalev was going to be a blow up. One thing is forsure Walter does not have that Krusher power. That was a HUGE factor in this fight. Kovalev's freaking jabs were stunning Ward. It really just shows how great Ward is coming back and winning this fight.
Yeh but now who has the belts, the robbed russian or the gifted ward? well it was only going to be one man, fighting in america with 3 paid off judges with the so called p4p accolade on the line. its bull****.
I give Ward credit for going the distance. But, this is a sport, a dangerous one it's supposed to be run properly. You don't just give a guy the fight because it makes a nice story or because he's American or whatever other b/s reason. If you don't complain, you're complicit and you're asking them to do it again.
I basically agree. Ward's comeback really impressed me and I had him winning actually. Kov clearly slowed down and wasn't getting anything done. I'm super disappointed though as I think Ward is a dirty fighter. Also, it was a surprisingly boring fight. Although I guess I have bad taste because I thought Fury vs Wlad was exciting and everyone has told me I'm full of **** for that.
Boring? How? I was on the edge of my seat thoughout. I enjoyed Fury vs Wlad but imho it was hardly exciting considering Wlad hardly threw.
Take it like a man! Ward won a close fight! No robbery! I hope the lot of you stop watching boxing and stop frequenting this site! Can't spell Ward without W A R! LOL
OP is right. Props to Ward, and Kovalev. That was a great fight, questionnable decision but great effort by elite guys.
It's boring to me when the punches don't appear to be having significant effect. When you know from round 6 that nothing is going to happen and you just have to sit for another ~25 minutes until they read the decision, I don't like it. At least in Wlad v Fury they were wobbling each other sometimes.
