Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward

[Master]

I have not seen the fight and was surprised Ward won. Well done, I was wrong. I will watch the fight when I get a computer

[Batman]

It's on YouTube if you wanna watch it on your phone

[Batman]

does your Tablet not have YouTube on it?

[Master]

Will check.

You should be asleep.

[Batman]

I can't imagine it wouldn't have youtube on it, here you go anyway, click this and see if it works

p.s. fight starts at exactly 15 minutes



And for the record I'm wide awake, I've had about 6 mugs of coffee, I'm fucking bright eyed and bushy tailed at the minute me

[Master]

Thanks you will live long and prosper.

I scored the fight 112-115 for Kov and even though Sergey got fucked on the scorecards he still beat up Andre Ward and busted up his face dropping him once and hurting him several times in the fight.... And the judges can't take that from Kov....

I just watched it

It wasn't a robbery

Ward has a frustrating style that's not very entertaining , he did everything to suck the life out of the fight

But it is effective in terms of landing punches

Kov did so much more to make a fight of it but that doesn't mean he won

Watched it again, but with the sound off (thanks for the YouTube, Batman).
The robbery is even more obvious than ever.

Round 1: Hard Kov jab rattles Ward. Not much else. 10-9 Kov
Round 2: Knockdown. 10-8 Kov
Round 3: Not much actually connected from either side, but gave the edge to Ward. 10-9 Ward
Round 4: Ward does precious little except for meaningless pawing. 10-9 Kov
Round 5: Close round, but gave edge to Kov. 10-9 Kov
Round 6: Clear round for Kov. Ward going backwards and grappling (I hate grappling). 10-9 Kov
Round 7: Could call this one even, but I'll generously give it to Ward. 10-9 Ward
Round 8: They BOTH did a lot of missing, not just Kov. 10-9 Ward
Round 9: 10-9 Kov
Round 10: Ward bolo'ed..... Kov jabbed him in the face. Clear round for Kov. 10-9 Kov
Round 11: One of the better rounds of the fight. Good exchanges. Ward lefts and Kov rights. 10-9 Ward
Round 12: Close round, but 10-9 Kov

116-111 Kovalev


Several things.

Ward missed just as much as Kov.
I absolutely HATE Ward's style with a passion. Grappling is Ward's style. To Kov's credit, he was drawn into it, but refused to be pushed around.
Kov was the aggressor all night long. He was the defending champion. How the hell do you lose three belts like that?

It's official.... it was highway robbery, and HBO are accomplices.

There is some truth to this.

I wanted to watch it again but I really don't want to waste my Sunday evening on a hugging wlad style WWE snorefest.

They are both to blame for all the clinching but Ward is the better inside fighter.

I really don't know who wins the rematch but you would think that Ward has the advantage as he can make the adjustments.

I wonder what @Paul Kevin's opinion was of this fight?
