Mix Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Are you leaning any direction? Who did you think won before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I actually had to watch the first fight twice and could see that one being judged either way it was so close.....probably would have barely given it to Ward by a round. I think Ward again this time, he's just so shrewd and I think he was a little rusty in the beginning of the first fight, but still wouldn't be surprised if it's Kovalev, what do you think?

Mix Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 dude I had no idea after the first fight and I have no idea now..... ;D I'm hyped though....both these guys are amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Yeah they really are, it's a good time to be a boxing fan, I'd be surprised if the first one isn't eventually considered one of the best fights ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mix Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 yeah, it was an instant classic...I don't know if they can top it...maybe with a late round knockout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Super excited for this, maybe as much as GGG vs Canelo or more, but who am I kidding people are still gonna be talking more about the upcoming circus show :fap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Kovalev looks slimmer for this fight, bouncing around more and using the jab well, very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Ward starting to find those awkward angles he uses to land and making Kovalev miss his straights a bit more and land partials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scope Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Ward was definitely coming back, I think I had him up one, but to stop a fight this high profile with Kovalev still on his feet? Fucking bullshit, I don't think Kovalev got robbed the first time but he definitely did this time, but hats off to Ward he makes great adjustments and when he digs he digs deep, not his fault the ref got all jumpy.

Mix Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 A fight i'm gonna re-watch, as is becoming custom, but I didn't for-see Kovalev breaking mentally like that....early stoppage, some punches were low, but that aside, Sergei was folding....they should have let it go on also, my initial comment covers the Rigo fight too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The only legitimate knockout here is Kovalev feeling like his testicles were knocked into his stomach......but nah, Ward is really good at placing those shots right on the belt.....but a few of them idk man.....some looked legit some looked highly questionable.

scope Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Got around to the replay this afternoon, looks like the last three punches Ward threw were two right on the belt and the final shot was a definite low blow, Ward uses whatever tactic he can to win and I'm not blaming him or losing respect for him but they need to get some refs in there that aren't blind in an eye, he was standing right next to it.

Mix Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 it's not a good look that the fight was waved off after such an obviously illegal punch....the fight could have been a real gem if it had been allowed to continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 it's not a good look that the fight was waved off after such an obviously illegal punch....the fight could have been a real gem if it had been allowed to continue Yep terrible really, the first six rounds were as good as the first fight, also not a good look when the fight is stopped when the guy is still on his feet after one bad round and doesn't even get a ten count. I'm not going to discredit Ward even though I think he knew what he was doing. He landed on the belt purposely to prove his punches were legal and then went under, he had a smirk like he knew exactly what he was doing, it's the refs job and he did it terribly and it's the association's job to rectify this in some way to make sure stuff like this doesn't continue, which won't happen because boxing is stubborn as fuck and I think they like the controversy.
