He definitely fought a smarter fight. And he was really smart to continue to got to the body. More boxer should do that instead of head hunting. I just read the spar session of Pacman vs Horn is going to be on espn. Very smart move. The whole event will air July 1.

Sergy seems to be putting the loss behind him:

Kovalez Las Vegas

He should but his promoter is filing a useless protest. But I guess she says what do we have to lose?

Yeah, more of a statement in support of her fighter, but Meek's handling of the low blows wasn't good.

Definitely wasn't good. I think the stoppage was way too early but do think ward was going to take full control of the fight. Kovalev was hurt and was fading. But in a fight like that. You let him go out on his shield.

I don't know but there wasn't much of an immediate protest by Kovalez.

That is true. Kolvelez knew he was hurt.

Not saying it was the reason he won, but Ward has always been on the dirty side as a fighter. Regardless, he had a phenomenal game plan and the fight wouldn't have gone 12 with the way Kovalev was gassed.
