On points ? I don’t think so. The highlights clearly show Dre out point him, especially after that knockdown. But the highlights also show every time Andre ward lands 3 punches, kovalev would come back with one and it seemed to really affect Andre ward. But ward was still there in front of kovalev the entire night out working him and out pointing him on the inside showing Andre ward is a very versatile, high level fighter. Put your boxing goggles on and you’ll see he won the firsts fight.
After watching a lot of ward fights, he reminds me a lot of floyd, very talented fighter who then seem to fight dirty when they realize they can't win the fight..
No the f*** he didn't I was at both fights Ward won both fights war turned it on in the second half of the fight and he won the damn fight he beat him both times f*** out of here
@@TownBizznizzJS fucking fan boy. Ward turned it on in the 9th. You dont win a 12 round fight winning 5 rounds and getting knocked down. Fucking loser.
The first time I watched it I thought it was Kovalev. After watching it again closely I saw Wards relentless bodywork and positioning. I can see both points of view though.
Kovalev got robbed on the first and was dominating the whole fight until ward got some punches threw, would eat wars alive just like kovalev he doesn’t waste unnecessary energy bouncing around flat footed walks toward not taking punishment and would finish’s him in the late rounds easy.
Out worked kovalev on the inside with beautiful body work and on occasion going head body head body. Just because kovalev is a power puncher and landed a couple shots doesn’t mean he won the fight.
I mean you can debate for days who won the first fight. Thats why they did a 2nd one so you can shut up about it. I guess tha doesnt work for you either.
Didn't seem that way at the time (that Kovalev won) and watching it again (in its entirety and in this highlighted reel) it still doesn't seem like he did. He certainly fought hard and he clearly wanted to win; but it's hard to see any evidence that he actually did.
Scorpie Scorpie disagree the first fight kovalev was dominating and he threw it away by slowing down too much in the later rounds. Kovalev dominated his rounds but ward kept stealing rounds. Clever boxing by ward Those punches were fine as well in the second fight.
Na it keeps boxing alive people like controversy pisses them off so they can watch the rematch and make more money and it works , I actually love controversy decisions in boxing
Kovalev got wobbled by a head shot first and a body shot before the stoppage, he was looking for a way out so the fight could get a called for a DQ which it wasn't. What utter nonsense you've stated.
@TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND Why career suicide? Don't you think he'll fight again? Yes, he lost but he took the fight. If he'd turned the fight down and taken the 'step aside' money he would no doubt be criticised for that too. There is no 'career suicide'. He'll learn from the experience and will likely go on to become a world champ...just as Kovalev himself said!!!
I think Kovalev himself would be uncomfortable about you guys making excuses for him and trying to convince the world that he won the fight and was somehow cheated out of the second. No shame in losing to Ward. He (Ward) is after all, an exceptional and rare talent.
@TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND "career suicide"😂😂😂😂 So many more people now know who he is,that fight did him more good than harm.....now he just needs to get a proper team around him.
Kov beat Ward in their first fight, and you could exactly see how surprised Ward was to be given the win...and I'm a Ward supporter. Obviously, Ward won the second fight.
We all knew he lost. And in the second fight it was all BS and fixed. Kovalev was losing but in way he was knocked out they stopped the fight on purpose
@@robertomorales787 Yeah he did, he landed the better shots which did more damage AND he scored a knockdown. That's points. Even Andre fought the 12th like he knew he was losing.

First fight was a robbery. Not childish and foolish explanations. A robbery with all its letters. Second one was a clear victory, even with the low blow.
@@Technique-kj2bp because Kovalev was bent over in an illegal position forcing Ward to aim lower. Same thing happens if you push a fighters head down and his blows stay low. The referee will rule it incidental and won't take a point

No sir. Wards overall boxing skills won. After the knock down,ward won most of rounds. Look at him scoring jabs to head and body. Punches dont have to be powerful,just CLEAR,FLUSH and CRISP. Whether they hurt or not

The best thing Jones ever said was during the Mayweather Gatti fight. He said something like Gatti was thinking every time I hit this guy I get about 7 times, and as he is saying it Gatti gets hit about 7 or 8 times, and Jones was like 'see'. By the way, I recommend watching Floyd fight Gatti and Corrales. The Gatti and Corrales fights were Floyd's two best performances. Foreman did the Corrales fight, and he called it correctly, cause during the fight he said nobody is gonna beat Floyd.
Sergey got absolutely robbed in the first fight even giving ward generously the last few rounds which would be bizarre kovalev was still up on the cards......first kovalev now fury

fair ans square hit the man in the balls at least 3 times?? really? that´s the reason Ward will never be remembered as a great fighter ´cause he was always dirty.
Ward is absolutely relentless. Both fights were filled with absolute high level exchanges, neither man should hang their head about either fight. All the feints and clean 1 2s, body work, work in the clinch. Great to see to top shelf fighters going at it at their peaks
It was a hometown decision. Ward didnt do shit in the 1st fight. Thats why kov was hella talking shit after the 1st fight while on the other hand kovalev beat him to the punch, floored him and did more damage
Whaaaaat the F!? I have never watched Ward box but I’ve heard great thing about him especially because they want him to come back for Canelo so I decided let me just see one of his bouts and I’ll see how good of a boxer he is, this is the first one I clicked on and he was getting destroyed and he got dropped, this was a joke that he won. There’s no way he could beat Canelo after watching this.
@@salvagedreams6757 Lol I’m just beyond surprised everyone has such high praises for him, he doesn’t look anything special. I’m guessing just because his record they talk him up a lot.
Sergey was not fighting Canelo the way he fought Ward. Sergey was winning all the rounds with Canelo with just working the jab! Ward would obliterate Canelo!
What low blows, now your lying. Everyone knows not one punch was low, we found out kovolev can't take body shots. He was exposed in both fights. Ward came off the flood and work him on points the second fight kovolev got the business and got beat up damn near knockout, crying he got hit low but the film shows there wasn't any low blows so, how are you seeing low blows and there is any blows landing low.
@@aldinewestfield5821 I looking at the fight, now as I stated what low blows. I do see belt line gut blows, those are not low, low blows are to his nuts. There aren't any blows to his balls, this weak bodied fighter can't take body shots, his body is soft in this fight and in the second fight. Now in the second fight I guess you all will say the same thing those punches are low. Ward hit kovolev more then any other fighters he's faced that was the difference between them and Ward. Fights over get over it, you saying low blows surely don't change the out come does it, kovolev lost then quit those are on his record then he got beat again the same way. Was those low blows too, he's done send his ass home.
Copper Aboriginies except instead of looking at the belt line look at where the ref establishes where they can’t punch below. It’s not always directly on the name. There is a detailed video breaking this down proving the punches were low lol
Ward had to throw the usual game plan away after seeing how much bigger Kovalev really was. That inside fighting and body attack in the 2nd fight was vicious.
I mean stomach. Kovalev was looking for an out and faked a low blow or two earlier that were shown to be fair punches on replay. Ward beat the bigger Kovalev into submission mentally and physically and Kovalev hasn't been the same since. Kovalev did too much crying and not enough fighting.
If you watch the first fight closely, you see Kovalev started off good the early rounds and even knocking Ward down, but around the 5th or 6th round I noticed Andre figured Kovalev out and from that point won the rest of the rounds. That's why the next fight Andre goes In there knowing exactly what to do and finishes him. But I see your point why you would think Kovalev won, cause it was close in the early rounds.
It took Ward an entire fight to figure out how to beat Kovalev but I believe that if they had kept fighting, Ward would continue to beat him every time.
Roger Strong I really like ward, he's one of the best technical boxers of the last few years, but...he lost the first fight more than clearly, and didn't win the second...the ref stoppage was laughable...he wasn't even winner on points
@Tlc24891 I disagree. It was close and competitive. If someone had Kovalev winning in a close fight that's fine and vice versa. I felt Ward nicked it in the later rounds with the body work
Judges seem to rob good fights when they happen in America,no wonder American fighters rarely or never fight outside The US it's frustrating.Andre Ward though is a stand up guy,he dint rob Kovalev,the judges did in the first fight.
Great fight! Seeing how The Krusher takes punishment here is more than an obvious proof that against "The Mighty" Canelo he went down. Great champ ward, such a shame he retired sooo early in his career.
@@bigfishenergy7722 Bruh that "cheat " shit blown outta proportion and I bet you dont even know the amount he tested for . Yall run with it because the words and hate its fueled by
At first thought I thought Kovalev would beat Canelo but after watching the fights above Canelo will win with body shots around round 7 to 9 , I might even bet on it.
Jones had spot on commentary the second fight. Everything he predicted would happen and progress started to for Ward. He could see Kovalev legs being gone earlier in the fight along with him looking for a way out from those body shots.
@@JD-re3cjThey both started a body blow war mid fight was but Kovas trunks were up over his bottom rib AND he kept doubling over , turning around , stopping fighting and complaining to the ref . The ref warned him multiple times but Kova didnt like the body shots coming back and kept looking for the ref to protect him . After which the ref had enough and deemed Kova to not be protecting himself . The ref did the right thing as Kova did not respond to the referees instructions to turn and fight . Ward is a friggin beast . ! Kova fought well untill those body blows but fell to peices under Wards continous and increasing pressure . He broke him ,mentall and physically. Tony Meeks is one of the best refs out there and gave Kova many opportunities to fight back but ultimately Ward was too much for him in those later rounds . Nothing to cry over at all .
Kovalevs head punches and knockdown plus controlling the fight especially first fight is absolutely fucking beautiful but SOMEHOW HE DOESNT WIN HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. ONLY DUMBASSES CANT UNDERSTAND MY LINGO HERE
Or biased/race baiting fuckin people definitely cant understand it in this country and im sure their on wards side lmfaooooooooooo. So much hypocrisy wish i was dumb
Ward fought for 13 years and was lucky that in those years there wasn't very good boxers to beat him, he is lucky, he retired cause he knew that there would be someone soon to beat him
Said that for years. Or how they praise the sh!t out of Lomachenko for doing the same exact sh!t they used to criticize Floyd for doing. The defense, the slickness, the pin point accuracy - they act like Loma is the first to do that when Floyd made a career out of doing it better.

Love his style, and his risk taking.
I personally don't think y'all know boxing if it goes 12 rounds the judges are judging the fight on points meaning the cleaner punches landed. True ward was knocked down that's a 10-8 round ward lost that round but the way he boxed kovolev was smart, kovolev didn't adjust ward do and he out pointed Kovolev to win that fight. In the second fight it was a punchers fight, the difference was ward stayed with the body attack as he did in the first fight after the 5 round he knew kovolev didn't like being hit in the body it zapped his energy and strength that where it end in the 8th round. Good body attacks will take the energy and it slows the fighter from moving as much that makes him a target for solid head punches. For those who claimed ward lost the first fight ok, let's go look at the first fight with know fan favorites just look at the fight round by round, with a pen and paper put Kovolev and ward and draw a line between their names, count 1 thru 12 on both sides of your paper then look at the fight objectively. Put a mark by their name each time they win around, you be an honest judge or in your on hearts you'll be as corrupted as many claim boxing is, if you are truthful in your true judging using those Mark's you should come up with ward winning. I should know, I lost 3k on that fight.
Dropped don't mean you lose the fight. Ward beat him up the first fight. Your pissed cause kovolev lost, I have money on kovolev to win 3k to be exact, and I seen the fight live where we you. Wards jab was eating kovolev up, kovolev was holding and head locking ward. And new light Heavyweight andrea Wardddddd lol lmao.
Roger Strong. Ward was beaten in the first (compustat figures alone), second fight Ward was allowed to foul. Also was stopped way too early. So both fights weren’t fairly adjudicated in the US regardless of who you backed in the fight. The industry is pushing its fans to UFC and other sports where the governing bodies are less corrupt and more aware of fans and fighters welfare imo.
Roger Strong. I agree, compubox doesn’t determine the fight, but in this fight the harder puncher was by Kovalev (so not a good argument for Ward). In the latter half of the second fight, Ward was dominating Kovalev, but Tony Weeks allowed him to throw too many low blows. The right thing to do would have been to take point off Ward and give Kovalev time to recover. ‘If’ Weeks really didn’t see the fouls (and I don’t believe that for one second), then at the very least, he should have let the fight continue, which would have either given Ward a conclusive victory (ie not mired in controversy), or allowed Kovalev to recover...and give the fans an epic spectacle. I think Paulie Mallinaggi said it best: ‘It was a typical situation where a guy got hurt, but you see guys get that hurt a lot of times in fights - and you don’t even think about stopping the fight. ‘You’ve got to be really hurt to stop a fight, especially to stop a championship fight. ‘Kovalev also was probably up in the fight, at least by a little bit. I had him up one going into the last round. ‘How much more hurt was he than Ward in round two last fight. Let’s put it that way.’
The first fight was close I can understand why people think Kov won, I had Ward edging it tho but you really have to fine-tooth this fight and pay attention to the little things to see it
@@mrgrandi many people don't know boxing like me and others because those who saw ward won are just ward fans but the rest of the world saw him lost the first one and cheated on the second one with low blows is not a matter of opinion but of facts that's the real difference between personal opinions and people who speak facts
@Aldine Westfield who TF made you a "boxing expert"?? So apparently you know more than actual boxing judges and officials who scored the fight in favor of Ward?? You can't speak on behalf of everyone who watched that fight tho because like I said there were many people who had Ward winning not just Ward fans. It was a close fight but I looked at that fight multiple times and each time I had Ward winning. But more importantly it really doesn't matter either of us think because it's in the past and on his resume Andre Ward BEAT Kovalev TWICE! That won't change so it's useless to bitch about it.
If someone picks someone apart that’s a clear win , if you didn’t notice that in the first fight you need glasses , Kovalev won first fight second fight went to ward no debate
@@debogotit6236 I don't know for sure on that but Kova would've never gotten a fair shake from the judges. I had him 3 rounds up in the first fight and scoring a knockdown too. The rematch saw Ward adjust and get a bit dirty too with his body shots and he rightly got the W there but how he got given the first fight was beyond my understanding.
There was a ton of low blows...what the hell are you people watching? Ward is known for dirty fighting. The ref did a horrible job officiating this fight.
What's your point? My point is Ward uses low blows when he feels it necessary...He is a dirty fighter in general, because he has used this tactic many times...Just because it FINALLY came to light during the most important fight of his life (the second fight against Kovalev) is a shame to the sport...You accusing me of not watching "any of the fights" just tells me you are just another blindman...YOU WATCH BUT YOU CAN'T SEE A DAMN THING! You are probably a left wing liberal...
Desmond Atkinson and how many punches did Kovalev throw behind wards head? Also how many times did Kovalev dip down to low so ward wouldn’t hit his body? Miss me with your bias ness, he lost! You Kovalev fan boys need to get that thru your head and even if u don’t think he lost to ward he surely lost to Álvarez 😂
The first fight he didn't lose, that's my point....And if you think he intentionally hit Ward on the back of the head, it was accidental...You calling me a fanboy is ridiculous...Facts don't have feelings..
I had Ward winning the first fight too. Close but Ward won it, those body shots wore him down. He started off to the body and finished the job in the second fight.
These comments are the result of fanboyism and no fanism.Kudos to ward for winning the rematch.Thats what top elites do...Make adjustments train harder......not cry and deny.
That first fight was definitely close and you could edge it Kovalev's way. In that second, the difference in Wards' strategy was the body attack; smart move! Salute to these two warriors-- great matchup for sure!
@@FrankValdez1234 You are right but not accurate. If Canelo faced this same (prime) Kovalev, he would have been brutally KO'd. Canelo faced a past his prime Kovalev. Kovalev was not really the same again after these two fights against Ward. Especially the second fight where Ward won by some devastating body shots. I doubt Canelo would even beat a past his prime Hopkins. These guys were very tough opposition for anyone.
I don't see how ward won a unanimous decision... Kovalev was attacking constantly and even scored a knock down. Kovalev was robbed right there

Kovalev definitely won enough rounds plus the knockdown...this should have been a trilogy. Andre clearly won the 2nd fight though.
@@joystickcasa5309 Kovalev seemed too cautious in the 2nd
B1gUp5 UD by 1 round all 3 saw it the exact same Way a piss take as you put it, is three judges all with different score cards. That did not happen kov lost by points a single knock down does not win a fight lol
First fight was a robbery. Not childish and foolish explanations. A robbery with all its letters. Second one was a clear victory, even with the low blow.
how can it be a clear victory if the fight was won by a low blow?
all about dodgy promoters paying of judges.Kovalev is managed by a women who is shit and ward has the elite who have boxing in there pocket.
@@Technique-kj2bp because Kovalev was bent over in an illegal position forcing Ward to aim lower. Same thing happens if you push a fighters head down and his blows stay low. The referee will rule it incidental and won't take a point
Yes the second one he had him badly hurt good stoppage kov was weak, first one I’m still looking for all those power shots that supposedly turned the tide after the knockdown and ring generalship that ward had
@aaron pryor I agree. They figure you out!
WOW they stoled that first fight CLEARLY from Kovalev!
Yeah, Ward and Virgin Hunter sure did steal it from Kovalev. They solved that problem.

He said something like Gatti was thinking every time I hit this guy I get about 7 times, and as he is saying it Gatti gets hit about 7 or 8 times, and Jones was like 'see'. By the way, I recommend watching Floyd fight Gatti and Corrales. The Gatti and Corrales fights were Floyd's two best performances. Foreman did the Corrales fight, and he called it correctly, cause during the fight he said nobody is gonna beat Floyd.

yall gotta let it go!!! his caeer is finished
Kovalev won the first!!!
@DaperDerBy yeah after severall nut shots.
Ward is absolutely relentless. Both fights were filled with absolute high level exchanges, neither man should hang their head about either fight. All the feints and clean 1 2s, body work, work in the clinch. Great to see to top shelf fighters going at it at their peaks
Ward was the most implacable fighter I've ever seen. He refused to accept a defeat.
And he still shouldve lost
He did lose the first one
Relentless clinchjng
When a man is scared he really really does his best to throw punches, ward was scared
That first fight was a joke how they give him the win are they nuts?
Bitch got his windbag beat. The judges saw that.
Im sorry but KOVALEV WON THAT FIRST ONE
sddk yoy no need to apologize.
Nah...
That body work in the first and clinch won ward that fight
Kovalev is not American thats all you need to know
It was a hometown decision. Ward didnt do shit in the 1st fight. Thats why kov was hella talking shit after the 1st fight while on the other hand kovalev beat him to the punch, floored him and did more damage
Kovalev easily wins the first and Ward wins the 2nd on low blows.
Whaaaaat the F!? I have never watched Ward box but I’ve heard great thing about him especially because they want him to come back for Canelo so I decided let me just see one of his bouts and I’ll see how good of a boxer he is, this is the first one I clicked on and he was getting destroyed and he got dropped, this was a joke that he won. There’s no way he could beat Canelo after watching this.

Canelo fought an Kovalev while Ward fought was younger and better, not to mention Ward knocked Kovalev in the second fight faster than Canelo did
Kovalev won the first fight and Ward the second.
Ward cheated with low blows
What low blows, now your lying. Everyone knows not one punch was low, we found out kovolev can't take body shots. He was exposed in both fights. Ward came off the flood and work him on points the second fight kovolev got the business and got beat up damn near knockout, crying he got hit low but the film shows there wasn't any low blows so, how are you seeing low blows and there is any blows landing low.
@@CopperAboriginies video proof it was low blows
@@aldinewestfield5821
I looking at the fight, now as I stated what low blows. I do see belt line gut blows, those are not low, low blows are to his nuts. There aren't any blows to his balls, this weak bodied fighter can't take body shots, his body is soft in this fight and in the second fight. Now in the second fight I guess you all will say the same thing those punches are low. Ward hit kovolev more then any other fighters he's faced that was the difference between them and Ward. Fights over get over it, you saying low blows surely don't change the out come does it, kovolev lost then quit those are on his record then he got beat again the same way. Was those low blows too, he's done send his ass home.
Copper Aboriginies except instead of looking at the belt line look at where the ref establishes where they can’t punch below. It’s not always directly on the name. There is a detailed video breaking this down proving the punches were low lol

Ward had to throw the usual game plan away after seeing how much bigger Kovalev really was. That inside fighting and body attack in the 2nd fight was vicious.
by body you mean balls ...?
I mean stomach. Kovalev was looking for an out and faked a low blow or two earlier that were shown to be fair punches on replay.

Them the only ones that count tho
If you watch the first fight closely, you see Kovalev started off good the early rounds and even knocking Ward down, but around the 5th or 6th round I noticed Andre figured Kovalev out and from that point won the rest of the rounds. That's why the next fight Andre goes In there knowing exactly what to do and finishes him. But I see your point why you would think Kovalev won, cause it was close in the early rounds.
1st fight Ward got unanimous decision(3-0) HOW? The 2nd fight he got adjusted reminds me of GGG- Canelo 1st and 2nd
Just cos it's a close fight, doesn't mean the decision has to be split.

No bro... Ward got marked up and dropped. Mayweather is on another level. Ward deserved to lose this fight. Second fight Ward did better tho
At first thought I thought Kovalev would beat Canelo but after watching the fights above Canelo will win with body shots around round 7 to 9 , I might even bet on it.
You weren't too far off the mark there
Ward: dealt with adversity passed test edged out close decision. Kov: never could deal with adversity

I personally don't think y'all know boxing if it goes 12 rounds the judges are judging the fight on points meaning the cleaner punches landed. True ward was knocked down that's a 10-8 round ward lost that round but the way he boxed kovolev was smart, kovolev didn't adjust ward do and he out pointed Kovolev to win that fight. In the second fight it was a punchers fight, the difference was ward stayed with the body attack as he did in the first fight after the 5 round he knew kovolev didn't like being hit in the body it zapped his energy and strength that where it end in the 8th round. Good body attacks will take the energy and it slows the fighter from moving as much that makes him a target for solid head punches. For those who claimed ward lost the first fight ok, let's go look at the first fight with know fan favorites just look at the fight round by round, with a pen and paper put Kovolev and ward and draw a line between their names, count 1 thru 12 on both sides of your paper then look at the fight objectively. Put a mark by their name each time they win around, you be an honest judge or in your on hearts you'll be as corrupted as many claim boxing is, if you are truthful in your true judging using those Mark's you should come up with ward winning. I should know, I lost 3k on that fight.
Your a lier,Ward Lost cleary the first fight,jabed all night and got dropped by kovalev.
Dropped don't mean you lose the fight. Ward beat him up the first fight. Your pissed cause kovolev lost, I have money on kovolev to win 3k to be exact, and I seen the fight live where we you. Wards jab was eating kovolev up, kovolev was holding and head locking ward. And new light Heavyweight andrea Wardddddd lol lmao.
Both Kovalev and Golovkin got shafted in the US. As a boxing fan, this kills me.
At all, Both rirst bouts couldve been a draw, 2nd bouts go without saying, clear wins!
Roger Strong. Ward was beaten in the first (compustat figures alone), second fight Ward was allowed to foul. Also was stopped way too early. So both fights weren’t fairly adjudicated in the US regardless of who you backed in the fight. The industry is pushing its fans to UFC and other sports where the governing bodies are less corrupt and more aware of fans and fighters welfare imo.
Compubox numbers do not mean you won, impact does, after Ward got up he outclassed Krusher!
Roger Strong. I agree, compubox doesn’t determine the fight, but in this fight the harder puncher was by Kovalev (so not a good argument for Ward). In the latter half of the second fight, Ward was dominating Kovalev, but Tony Weeks allowed him to throw too many low blows. The right thing to do would have been to take point off Ward and give Kovalev time to recover. ‘If’ Weeks really didn’t see the fouls (and I don’t believe that for one second), then at the very least, he should have let the fight continue, which would have either given Ward a conclusive victory (ie not mired in controversy), or allowed Kovalev to recover...and give the fans an epic spectacle. I think Paulie Mallinaggi said it best: ‘It was a typical situation where a guy got hurt, but you see guys get that hurt a lot of times in fights - and you don’t even think about stopping the fight. ‘You’ve got to be really hurt to stop a fight, especially to stop a championship fight. ‘Kovalev also was probably up in the fight, at least by a little bit. I had him up one going into the last round. ‘How much more hurt was he than Ward in round two last fight. Let’s put it that way.’
I agree with you on Golovkin, but totally disagree for Kovalev.
The people who saying that wart rob him the first fight, he came back and shut all the doubters down and tko that white boy to the body 😊😂

Belt line
Desmond Atkinson I can tell u never watched any of the fights bcuz the low blow controversy didn’t come til the second fight
What's your point? My point is Ward uses low blows when he feels it necessary...He is a dirty fighter in general, because he has used this tactic many times...Just because it FINALLY came to light during the most important fight of his life (the second fight against Kovalev) is a shame to the sport...You accusing me of not watching "any of the fights" just tells me you are just another blindman...YOU WATCH BUT YOU CAN'T SEE A DAMN THING! You are probably a left wing liberal...
Desmond Atkinson and how many punches did Kovalev throw behind wards head? Also how many times did Kovalev dip down to low so ward wouldn’t hit his body? Miss me with your bias ness, he lost! You Kovalev fan boys need to get that thru your head and even if u don’t think he lost to ward he surely lost to Álvarez 😂
The first fight he didn't lose, that's my point....And if you think he intentionally hit Ward on the back of the head, it was accidental...You calling me a fanboy is ridiculous...Facts don't have feelings..
I had Kovalev winning the 1st fight by a round, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for ringside judges to score that for Ward.
I had Ward winning the first fight too. Close but Ward won it, those body shots wore him down. He started off to the body and finished the job in the second fight.
Mane these folks know dam well ward won this fight with his einstein ring iq
These comments are the result of fanboyism and no fanism.Kudos to ward for winning the rematch.Thats what top elites do...Make adjustments train harder......not cry and deny.
The battle between them was really great. Two excellent fights.
Ward has been working out with Nate Diaz too much. He is trying to do take downs LOL.
That first fight was definitely close and you could edge it Kovalev's way. In that second, the difference in Wards' strategy was the body attack; smart move! Salute to these two warriors-- great matchup for sure!
Until now I cant understand what fight the judges were watching in their first fight.
Clear win for Kovalev
The one they were paid off on
SOG went up and destroyed the Krusher. Remember watching this fight we all jumped after the stoppage hahahahaha
Destroyed his balls
Nasty ward
Man! I’ll give Canelo 60 to 40 odds if they fight. Canelo a different type of monster. Wards footwork doesn’t seem that impressive to me
The Ward fighting in 2016 trolls the leprechaun Canelo. Please. After GGG he’s hand picking easy ass fights. Canelo isn’t busy enough.
@@letsssgooo4618 canelo knocked kovalev out cold and canelo was never hurt, yet ward got hurt so many times by kovalev... so nice try
@@FrankValdez1234 kovalev took a painful obvious dive. But I still got Canelo beating Andre Fraud
@@FrankValdez1234 You are right but not accurate. If Canelo faced this same (prime) Kovalev, he would have been brutally KO'd. Canelo faced a past his prime Kovalev. Kovalev was not really the same again after these two fights against Ward. Especially the second fight where Ward won by some devastating body shots. I doubt Canelo would even beat a past his prime Hopkins. These guys were very tough opposition for anyone.
these fights was great
