What a great fight!
I never really took to Stevenson as it seemed he ducked Kovalev for so many years whilst Ward stepped up to the best.
For a 40 year old fighter he took on the best in the divison and won in my opinion.
He was tired, bleeding and losing the 2nd half of the fight but he turned it round with a wicked body shot.
There was no robbery..it was very close but AS worked the head and body and was hardly ever on the back foot.
The judges were considerate to call it a draw as you can’t take a champions belt on that performance...same with Ward against Kovalev in the first fight.
I thoroughly look forward to the rematch.
What is your view on how the rematch goes and what does each fighter need to do to make a clear win..?
