"You" Thought Ward Would Give Up!

Farmboxer · Nov 20, 2016

Titty AT-l-ASS always picks against Eastern European fighters.................he said that Kirk Johnson would knock Vitali Klitschko out with one punch, Vitali knocked Johnson out in the second round!!!!!!! He always picked Vitali and Vlad to lose every fight they were in...............Lederman was correct, 116 - 111, even Roid Jones said Kovalev won the fight and he was for Ward! Almost everyone had Kovalev winning the fight. I can't give a decision to someone who wrestles, runs, holds, tried to butt, etc., no way did SOB win 7 rounds................Mayweather even said that Ward was not P4P, not anywhere near it..............

After the knockdown "you" expected Ward to give up like most Kovalev opponents do when they feel his power. They are use to seeing guys like Jean Pascal fold when in the ring Kovalev.

The first two rounds went according to script, Ward looked small, was on the canvass, and seemingly didn't have the chin to endure Kovalev's power. But little by little Ward survived, adapted, and began to process an effective attack.

Ward never "ran" he stayed in the pocket, out muscled and hustled Kovalev, at one point I thought he broke Kovalev's nose due to the constant stream of blood. Unlike Kovalev however Ward landed body shots and was more active during clinches. Ward initially was the victim of the power jab but soon began to land his own repeatedly.

It was slow and methodical but Ward started putting rounds in the bank. No rounds were dominant but Kovalev's head was the one snapping back. When judges see that they score for the attacker. In the second half of the fight Ward began to make Kovalev miss, he became arm weary, his power faded, his footwork slowed, he began reacting to Ward's movements rather than dictating his own.

IMO this was a subtle but impressive comeback for Ward, it did not have the drama of Leonard-Hearns or emotion of Corales-Castillo but it was a return from the brink win for Ward! No it was not a robbery, it was not biased judging, it was actually something quite beautiful... it was boxing!

Ward knew all he had to do was be standing at the end of the fight and the judges would give him the decision. Kovalev should have gone ahead and knocked Ward out when he had him badly hurt.............Ward does not want a rematch, even tried to claim there was no rematch clause, but Duva said the clause is in the contract and will be enforced. Ward will probably have to be sued and forced to fight Kovalev again, it will take time, but Ward signed the contract and the law is the law...........
