Andre Ward vs. Sergio Kovalev RBR Discussion

[Tanzio]

3= Ward looks slow and Krusher very confident but Ward starts landing. But still no respect.

Ward got that round but very close.

29-27 Krusher

[Enlightened-One]

30-26 Krusher

Sergey needs to stop holding or there'll be a points deduction.

29-27 SK

Round 3, both fighters fighting very amped and nervous, lots of wrestling. But they're also landing some very effective, smart punches and showing-off some remarkable reflexes. Ward with a much better third round, maybe winning it.

Kovalev 29-27

[jezzamundo]

Very close and dirty 3rd round, lots of wrestling, thought Kovalev won the first minute, Ward the second, Ward landed a left hook, best punch of the round, nicks it for him.

Kovalev 29 - 27 Ward

[Tanzio]

4= ward starts well lands nice left. Ward ahead round 4. Ward shades it for me

38-37 Krusher

[Enlightened-One]

39-36 Krusher

[Lackeos]

Round 4, Ward has been landing some super fast punches with a lot of pop. I didn't expect Ward to be out-power punching Kovalev, but that seems to be the way it's gone the last two rounds. I think this is another one for Ward.

Kovalev 38-37

[jezzamundo]

The 4th is another close round, a bit less wrestling, thought Ward was edging it, but then Kovalev won the last minute with his jab and nicked it for me.

Kovalev 39 - 36 Ward

[Enlightened-One]

48-46 Krusher

[Tanzio]

5= nothing early Krusher lands hook. Ward to body. Nice hard jab nice body Ward. Ward lands jab right. Close round. Very close.

Krusher shades

48-46 Krusher

[gilgamesh]

I got it 50-44 Krusher.

Some of the rounds have been close, but I still think Kovalev is doing the better work and Ward still hasn't figured him out enough to take any rounds.

[Lackeos]

Round 5 was close as hell. I think Kovalev won it by about 1 punch. These guys are fighting as though neither one has any advantage in any department.

Kovalev 48-46

[jezzamundo]

Ward seems to move Kovalev with his punches for the first time in the 5th - another close round, but I think Ward edged it with better effectiveness.

Kovalev 48 - 46 Ward

[Enlightened-One]

58-55 Krusher

[gilgamesh]

60-53 Krusher

Ward is making some of these rounds close, but I just haven't seen one I can give him yet.

[Impractical Poster]

Max is all over Ward's nuts.

[Tanzio]

6= ward bod. Jabs bod Ward. Krusher should be warned for holding. Krusher right.
Nice right Kov. Ward sneaking shots. Nice left right kov good body shots Ward

58-55 Krusher but Ward is in this.

[Lackeos]

Round 6 there was a massive amount of wrestling (Kovalev initiating more than you'd expect). Kovalev got an early minor lead in points and Ward closed the gap right near the end, making it a super close round.

Kovalev 58 - 56 I guess

[Enlightened-One]

67-65 Krusher

[squiggy]

Max is all over Ward's nuts.

Probably a couple of the judges are too.

[Tanzio]

7 = huge jabs snap Krusher back. Body shots Ward. Nice jab krusher. Wards best round

67-65 Krusher
