"SOG" Ward vs "King" Krusher Kovalev @ 175 lbs / 12.5 stone: Who wins?

[MisterPullman]

When Kovalev gets his ass best and loses by a wide margin, and he was head butted and clinched, you can run around saying he was better, and that it proves he won. sounds like a plan.

And when Kovalev scores a UD win I'll comeback to laugh at all of you

[therealpugilist]

he should try and be somewhat entertaining. this is a big fight for boxing to get its popularity back. even if he doesnt come out swinging, he shouldnt fight as negatively as he usually does, people are paying to see a fight not a clinchfest

newsflash....winning is more important to a fighter than entertaining the fans.

"negative".....basically you mean nullifying and neutralizing your opponents offense? thats what he is supposed to do.......duuuuuh

Have you ever been in camp with someone training for a fight or a tournament?


the last thing on a fighters mind is "giving the fans a good show"

its all about winning, and winning or losing affects earning ability, your legacy, how you are rated.

Fighters dont give a damn about our blood lust

If it was your son or nephew fighting, you wouldnt give a **** if he fought like a Ward or Rigo

my trainer always says " how would you train your son?"

it for sure wouldnt be that fantasyland rock em sock em robots style some of you guys glorify

[Madison Boxing]

so he wasnt beating Kessler clearly, head butts or not?

"negative"....do you mean he didnt knock them out because he clearly dominate both

As far as them being bums, the guy in your avatar just fought a guy below Barrera's level in Wade. So im sure you dont mind bums, well as long as a fighter you like fights them, its ok



he wasnt out there pulling a Victor Ortiz, jumping into the guys jaw head first


I hope you realize excuses are for losers and thats all it sounds like " he head butting doe, he clinching doe!!!"

yet acknowledge he barely did either in any recent fight

the butts disorientated kessler.

If Kovalev wins than more power to him. I won't b1tch and moan about "how he headbutted and Ravitch punched Ward, and because of that it makes Ward better, and the real winner."

[RussB23]

He will come to win

NO that is not how boxing works Forum Troll!

Priority #1 is always to WIN! You want Sports Entertainment go watch WWE! I tune into boxing because I'm a fan of the sport, with being fan of the sport I understand the fighters have different styles and they fight a style that fits their skills assets, athleticism and just overall natural ability. If you're not gifted with Quickness and Good Footwork then guys find other ways to win. To ask a fighter to fight difference from what got him to 30-0 and haven't lost a match since he was a kid is as DUMB as most of your ***ING Threads!

GROW UP! Educate yourself about Boxing! With Google and Youtube it is no excuse of Ignorance in 2016.

the comments some of this site are some of the dumbest by so called boxing fans


they want to see him lose so bad because he is a threat to fighters they like from 160-175


sucks to be them

you can tell these guys have never played any sports growing up or as adults.....athletes dont give AF if you are entertained, its about winning

if winning was everything, ward would have more than 2 seagulls and a tramp watching his press conference in oakland. hes going to be in a position in 20 years where noone remembers him and noone talks about any great fights he was involved in.

[therealpugilist]

the butts disorientated kessler.

so missing, and getting hit in the head didnt help with that?....so getting hit more, and landing less isnt why he lost....GTFOH


Just like Mosley fans " forrest butted him doe, he never recovered"


thats part of being a fighter, adjusting and recovering


like I said excuses are for losers

[DreamerUSA]

you people need to understand theres more to boxing than winning. if wards as talented as you all say he is he shouldnt have to stink out the joint to beat kovalev

Sure there is. At the end of the day it is entertainment. That said, Ward's entertainment value has nothing to do with his skills in the ring. Entertaining to the average Joe does'nt equate to skill. While I would like to see him let his hands go more I absolutely love watching him fight on the inside. Not many guys can fight on the inside like he does and I think it is beautiful to watch. The guy is surgical and damaging when working in close. People see a couple clips of a headbutt and all of the sudden anything he does on the inside is cheating.

[The Big Dunn]

So good sportsmanship and fair play means nothing?

If they have to cheat Kovalev, it is the same as Sergey winning. It proves he's BETTER.

It's sad that for all the good you do with the HWT thread, you mitigate it by posting stuff like this. Makes you look like a pathetic piece of garbage.
