I'm watching round 8 again since Reed's take on the fight is from Andre's asshole. R8 starts out with a replay of a clear low blow from Round 7...
I agree, but Kovalev needs to help by acting upset at the stoppage. He didn't.
The body shot that matters, in some way, is the one that Kovalev said was low, acted hurt, wanted time, Weeks said fight, and Ward landed the bomb...
Beterbiev and Gvozdyk are the two I was thinking of. Maybe they can fight each other or Bivol.
This was Derek Gainer Freddie Norwood 2.
I think Kovalev hits harder than Stevenson, but it's easy to believe otherwise and it's easy enough that I'm wrong. The way he punches is a lot...
Ward's defense is really his biggest strength. Kovalev just couldn't land his mega shots. Couldn't even pull the trigger on them most of the time.
No. You don't get the benefit of the doubt when you have half the glove below the bottom of the belt.
There are some other stud light heavies right now. He doesn't need to go to cruiser. Sergey not leading off with complaining. Says 'Boxing.'...
There's a reason you get up to 5 minutes for low blows. Kovalev wasn't recovered and props to Ward for realizing it and making something of it. But.
Official cards... 80/238 34% Ward; 95 or 407 22% Kov 53 of 144 37% body; Kov 45 to 27 on jabs. 67-66 x2 for Ward...68-65 on 3rd judge.
The final shots seem very low, too. Need different angle.
I think it's either going to be Kov getting tired or Ward getting away with low blows. Kov was hurt or trying to get some time and acted like the...
R8 Ward comes out and trades. Helps Kov. Kov gets some nice body hooks later. Ward really grinding, but it's helping Kov land. Kov says low, Weeks...
R7 Ward throws a big right to begin, but rolled with. Ward trying more, but Kov lands some light body shots. Kov says low, Weeks says fight, Ward...
R6 Kov trying harder. Ward answering fine. Trading, but this favors Kov and he's being the boss this round. Ward trying to win with cute tricks,...
R5 Kov the boss through 90 secs. Ward landing nothing. Kov gets a head shot in. Ward lands a nice hook counter, but Kov winning clearly. Roy...
R4 Ward comes out and throws 2 big hooks. Don't really land. Kov lands some slop. Kov lands some nice stuff, then they trade nice shots. Big jab...
R3 Kov just misses a bomb. Ward looks a little more aggressive this round. A little trading. Ward landing counters against sloppy leads by Kov....
Punch stats--should be about 8 each. lederman to Kov...31 thrown vs 25..did not do landed. Kov chases, eats a little hook...Kov lands a counter...
Kov starts out with a very big, very clean right to body. Kov owns the middle of the ring. Ward looks a little tired to me. Ward lands some...
Yeah, you get busted for pot, I can only see losing some of your $ if you lose. If you win, it's absolutely nothing.
I like how these recent fights are getting considered for dq losses. Tszyu Mas was a draw forever until Tszyu's people got it changed to an NC....
That's not what the first post is asking. It's asking where guys looked better than they ever had before. I think the examples fit.
I was looking forward to the first fight more, but not by much. I was out of town and couldn't order it. I'll be ordering this one, I think. I...
This card will need unequivocally one of the greatest undercards in ppv history to get me to consider watching it. I don't think Floyd has ever...
No, they don't. I think the opponents listed are comparable. I was thinking more of Ward having no gaps in his resume of guys he should have...
I think Ward's legacy might be enhanced with a loss now and a win in the rubber match. Fighting the Super 6 and Kovalev twice already shits on...
Edison Miranda. Ricardo Mayorga.
If this gets in the way of Garcia vs Loma, and it makes sense that it will, then screw Garcia vs Broner.
