I had the general feeling Kovalev won. Couple of times I shook my head when Macklin/Paulie said "Ward round."
However, there were so many tight rounds I wasn't shocked in the slightest Ward got it. He definitely controlled the second half and could have easily nicked some early rounds, regardless of what the cry baby robbery merchants say.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I'm going to take some time and watch this fight and score it....we'll see if my eyes pick a winner or a draw.
I have never heard so many people say they can't be arsed to watch it again.
I feel the same way and find it hard work having to watch the hugging and throwing from both sides.
I refuse to watch it again, just bring on the rematch ASAP so we can close this forever.
Ward is not pound for pound after that performance but does deserve props for surviving the knockdown and winning the majority of the 2nd half.
Kovalev seemed to really feel those body shots and found it hard to land that right hand later on in the fight..perhaps that alone deserved a tad more praise in wards direction in breaking the champion down.
I can not see how Ward won with the Knock down happening that means you have to give him 8 rounds out the 12 for him to win. Kovalev lost because the Us went with there fighter he going to have to knock him out.
