Can we all take a breather from debating about whats looking like a Classic fight/trilogy in the making to ask...did boxing win?
More people than i thought seemed to be aware of the fight even if ppv dosent show..and i feel certain the re match gonna be even more lit
yes, boxing won. and dont get me wrong. Kovalev can win a rematch....IF he changes his approach a little. that shyt he did to Hopkins dont work on Ward. if Hopkins was younger, it wouldnt have worked on him either. Ward is very reminiscent of young B-Hop. no disrespect, but like B-Hop, to beat Ward, you have to be a MAN in that ring. their mental fortitude is too great. remember when people thought Tito was gonna put the beats on B-Hop? I won easy money that night at 3-1 odds. B-Hop is a man in the ring and he is gonna be dirty, tricky, etc...and you cant look to the ref or your corner to help you. The bigger puncher is not always the bully. Ward is a bigger bully than Kovalev and he bullied him last night.
I always go back to the words of the late great Jose Torres, "when an intimidator fails to intimidate, then he becomes intimidated"
