Add to that , he wasn't just beating a champion in the weight above, he was beating a guy who dominated the division and should be given immense credit for that.
I have been very critical of Ward's inactivity, but there's no denying he is a special fighter, and I think he'll win again on points exactly like he did the first time.
I agree with everything except your scoring of the 1st fight and your prediction on the 2nd.
I thought ward won
I didn't want him to, Id take the destructive nature of Kovs style every day of the week over wards spoiling tactics
I have a feeling it will be different this time tho
I had it a draw and I wanted Kov to win.
I could not fail to be impressed with the way Ward came back from the first 2 rounds and admire his heart to dig deep and comeback. Reminiscent of JMM against Manny Pac the first time they fought.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
