119-109 Kovalev. Even if you are generous to Alvarez, you can't give him more than 3 rounds.
Re: Eleider Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev II - February 2, 2019
Dominant win by kovalev. He’s back! Maybe got a few fights left at the top given his age.
Re: Eleider Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev II - February 2, 2019
The champ is back! Congrats to Sergey!

The lady judge was the only one who had it right. The other two bozos had it far too close.
Re: Eleider Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev II - February 2, 2019
Wow. Impressive. Why I don’t bet on boxing. I stink. But you had to be generous to give any round to Álvarez. I scored it 10-2 and I feel like those 2 rounds that I took from Kov were disengenious.
Ward’s commentary was gold. Short and steady Kovalev is unbeatable. Balls out Kovalev gets him knocked out. Best comment I’ve ever heard via ringside commentator.

The surprise is they didn't give it to alvarez the way boxing judging is. If it was in Las Vegas Alvarez would have gotten the win.

Lol. Right? Maybe Vegas has a law that no Álvarez can ever lose a decision in Vegas.Ilya Muromets wrote: ↑03 Feb 2019, 02:58DrDuke wrote: ↑03 Feb 2019, 02:54What a surprise really.Ilya Muromets wrote: ↑03 Feb 2019, 02:53 The lady judge was the only one who had it right.

Re: Eleider Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev II - February 2, 2019
Now Kovalev has proved, that he can avenge losses. However, in Ward case I still don't count the 1st fight as a real loss for Sergey.

Re: Eleider Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev II - February 2, 2019
The only fight that Kovalev legitimately lost was Alvarez 1.
Re: Eleider Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev II - February 2, 2019
Well, in the 2nd fight the stoppage sucked, yes. But the fight was going bad for Sergey prior to it.
Re: Eleider Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev II - February 2, 2019
Overall I argee. The first Ward fight was a robbery. The 2nd Ward fight had an early stoppage after low blows, despite Kovalev fighting worse there.Ilya Muromets wrote: ↑03 Feb 2019, 03:04 The only fight that Kovalev legitimately lost was Alvarez 1.

All those things we saw as shortcomings in the Krusher leading up to this rematch have pretty much been addressed.
He took a round off, otherwise no stamina issues- in fact he sorta got a second wind. The performance spoke for his team as well as the Krushernator.
And we love redemption

Repeated low blows by Ward while the Mafia Vegas referee looked on approvingly.

Re: Eleider Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev II - February 2, 2019
Yeah. And after such a performance there's no reason for the rubber match. Kovalev must unify now, while he's still there. Time can be limited in such age.KiwiRider wrote: ↑03 Feb 2019, 03:07 All those things we saw as shortcomings in the Krusher leading up to this rematch have pretty much been addressed.

Excellent win for Kovalev! 117-111 for me. Happy for him. Alvarez just did not put the punches together at all tonight.
