Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward

[palmerq]

De la Rosa is one tough cookie. He's taken some HUGE shots and is firing back. Great scrap so far!

He has a horrible punching technique though. He telegraphs everything.

yes lucky for him stevens isnt the greatest out there but it does make for a pretty fun fight, it will be interesting to see if stevens starts to tire later on he has used up a lot of energy in the first 3 rounds trying to blow the guy away.

I've seen Stevens fight a handful of times and he has never once impressed me.

He looks great v lower level guys, especially in his last fight v the brazillian fellow.



point off for stevens, I think he is still winning the fight though, de la rosa has slowed a bit and stevens is coming back into it again

[Kirkland Laing]

Good evening gentlemen. I've got a horrible feeling that Ward bores and frustrates his way to a points win tonight in the on paper fight of the year. Boxing could really do with a spectacular Kovalev knockout tonight. Come on Kovalev.

Brutal body attack in corner and ref breaks Stevens off. Whaaaaah took a point

Lampley making injured hand excuses for both

[TitoFan]

Lampley and Kellerman second guessing the point deduction from Stevens. The ref had warned him various times before, and the punch itself was at mid-thigh.

Stevens probably jacked his own hand up off De La Rosa hip more than anything.

Lamps should be charged as co conspirator for mentioning a Stevens-Golovkin rematch

De La Rosa will win this. I can already tell due to the excuses that are presented by the commentators. With that said, he needs to quit his day job and go train full time because he will be fed to a big name after this. His current arm punching technique will not cut it at that level.

[palmerq]

Not been scoring the fight but my feeling is stevens has won the fight, he has been stronger and more powerful with his punches, close decision win for stevens I think.

[Spicoli]

Bit surreal. Stevens looks absolutely deflated. JD Jackson outstanding add as trainer but the wear and tear on Stevens cannot be undone. Hope no screw job either way!!

[Spicoli]

98-92 is pretty bad. Judge must have started drinking at lunchtime.

I agree. Why would anybody want a GGG Stevens rematch? He has lost multiple times since that loss and has proved absolutely nothing that he has improved

[palmerq]

98 is a pretty wide scorecard, I think the right person won tohugh

[powerpuncher]

98-90? Seriously?

[powerpuncher]

There were probably two rounds that were swing rounds while the other eight had a clear winner.
