Groves needs to knock him out here. He has it on points anyway.

Groves has regressed massively. Had his chance in the first Froch fight. Will never win a world title.

Noticed him keep wiping at his eye before it was bleeding. Seen it before when people have had blood clots on the brain. I hope hes ok. But his corner should have stopped it earlier.

The ban boxing brigade will be loving this. You're right it just needs boxers cornermen and referees to see if a boxer has had enough,as many fighters won't quit.

Thats quite a few this year that have been badly injured this year. I'm not of the ban boxing club but I wonder with the ever increasing money involved whether the refs and trainers are feeling under pressure to keep the fight going as long as possible. I'd also add that we now know a lot more about bead injuries and concussion ,etc than we did even 3-4 years ago, and sports like football, rugby, NFL, etc are taking it a lot more seriously which has resulted in getting players subbed off quicker and missing the next game to enable them to recover fully. It would seem sensible that boxing reviewed some of this and their policies to if they haven't already.

Ouch
First round the lab nearly knocked him out his socks
Second round runs right into a big right.

Ward looks terrible so far, thought he'd do better, but said he'd been on his ass before, interesting to see if he can Dodge these punches

Ward been better fighter since 3 rd round. carry on like this and it's a points win.
Kovalev very one dimensional, has speed and power but doesn't have any real skill set

Woah by one round
The skills told in the end, don't think people can argue, Ward was so much better from 3rd round, so skillful , kov was hard as nails but low in skills , Ward did so Many more head shots, kov missed the target despite throwing more leather

Kovalev won 5 of the first 6 rounds quite clearly. Can't tell me he didn't win another round for the rest of the fight when he won the 10th convincgly. Not a robbery but it's a bad decision.

looking at the judges cards, thats exactly how they saw it

it could have gone either way, but yeah, kov just threw one twos one twos, and after the second, he hardly touched wards chin
ward would have won by knock out if he had any power, he had loads of head shots from 3 onwards
ward made kov miss badly once he'd woken up, kovalev missed his chance after the knockdown
still standing by me no real skills comment

Can't remember Kovalev landing a significant punch from about 5 onwards. All Ward had to do was pick point-scoring punches. How Lederman and Rafael had Kova 5 up going into 10.....I just could not fathom it at all.

Kovalev won round 10 and 12 quite clearly, aswell 5 of the first 6 and a knockdown. Ward hugged and landed jabs all night and some body shots on the inside.

You don't win multiple belts and have a P4P ranking based on no skill. Also you don't win 5 rounds against Ward having no skill. Kovalev won every single round against Bernard Hopkins, you don't do that without skill.

People look at his KO ratio, and like Golovkin people label them crude sluggers when they're far much more than that. Shame.

he has zero head movement and his defence is a hard chin
he didnt throw more than 2's all fight and they all came from the same angle
sorry bud, i know you like your boxing, but youre wrong about this crude slugger

Oh and if you want to talk about defence, Kovalev outlanded Ward in 8 of the rounds, only threw sixty more punches than Ward, who's one of the best defensive boxers in the game . But yeah, he's not that skilled is he.

Seriously.

Knowing that you don't agree with anyone but yourself and your 'facts ' that you like quoting.
But i've never heard 'everyone ' quoting how tactician kovalev is, you must be listening to the Americans who had him winning by 7 lol lol lol lol
