So, there you have it. A tale of two cities, a fight of two halves and a knockout to decide it.

I think Kovalev edged a very close fight. It was clearly the fight to show who the best in the division is, but all this talk of P4P is a bit corny IMO. Ward looked very flawed and lost half a fight, while Kovalev seems to have fallen asleep and given away half a fight. Top P4P fighters like Floyd or Manny don't do that. When you see Barrera against Morales you see close fights, but you see brilliant boxing not clinching or doing little for several rounds. That's the big difference. These are very good fighters in their class, but they are not the best PFP IMO. To be honest, I found the fight a bit tedious and my appetite for a rematch is reduced after seeing this.
