    Of course the wifi stopped working at the 11th round. Up until then it based on what I saw it was a good fight, thought Kov was going to win going on the first two rounds but then Ward seemed to work out how to beat him. Very good quality fight overall. 

    Yeah, Ward found a way to win as he always does. Like you after the first 2 rounds I thought Kovalev was going to walk it but Ward refused to be beaten.

    There seem to be quite a lot of people claiming it was a disgrace and a home decision but it was so close I don't think anyone could complain at the scores, or if the bout had gone the other way- although I had Ward 2 ahead. Tense, exciting fight- bring on the rematch.

    After watching kovalev struggle last time out against chilemba who is a slippery customer but no where near wards quality then i can't see nothing but a ward clear points win,of course if kovalev  was able to catch him the power he's got it could get interesting 

    Absolutely, Chilemba really frustrated him, although Kovalev claims that is because he was distracted fighting for the first time at home in Ekaterinburg since 2011.

    Sergey has a great jab, serious, serious power and is one of the best finishers in boxing if he does catch an opponent, but you just can't see Ward getting caught. No doubt Kovalev will be trying to bully, rough him up inside and pressurise him, but Ward is far too smart to get involved imo.

    Fights like this don't happen anything like often enough, 2 of the top 5 pound for pound boxers in the world putting their unbeaten records on the line. Can't wait.

    Some of the PPV Events  have been good, I just think this and Bellew v Cleverly shouldn't be...

    I see where you're coming from mate but to me AJ v Molina is a far better fight than AJ v Breazeale and the undercard is far superior on 10/12 too. No-one really had the hump at shelling out for the Breazeale card; I guess because we thought we were going to see AJ v Wlad or Parker this time out it seems like we're being sold short now. If it all carries on going well for AJ we'll soon be complaining about PPVs from Vegas at 5 in the morning!

    The big one this weekend then, Kovalev v Ward, I can't wait! Who has everyone got? Ward on points imo,

    Kovalev is a much more intelligent boxer than people give him credit for, as well as being a wrecking ball but I just can't see him outwitting Ward who always seems to work everyone out in a round or two. It is easily the best fight of the year on paper though, on Sky from 0200 with ringwalks at 0400.

    This is saving the main fight imo... can't wait for this one to go off.

    Apparently they got right into it last night, just after the 'Who is the DONKEY now, who is the goat?'' diss at the end of the clip above!

    Hearn reckons it took 8 security to get Whyte out of the room haha. They didn't even manage to get enough footage to fill The Gloves are Off so had to interview them separately after.

    This AJ fight is a joke.

     

    I'm far more excited for Chisora v Whyte on the undercard.

    You're right but at least the WBA have sanctioned the Wlad fight for spring now.

    As for Delboy and Whyte...

    Joke but not AJs fault I guess.

    Yeah, I think he would genuinely fight anyone. It's a shame Fury's issues came up when they did, I fear it'll take a good long time before so many of the belts are held by one fighter again.

    Although it's a blatant duck by Wlad, you can see where his team are coming from too, there's no way an AJ Wlad fight should be at the Manchester arena and there wasn't enough time to promote it properly either. Price is moaning now but you can also see why Matchroom didn't go for him with a possible Wlad fight in the spring. I wonder if Price may find himself fighting Ortiz on the same bill.

    The Chisora Whyte fight should be fun though, as should the build up!

    No defence at all, Haye would pick him off  as he comes forward. Far too quick and powerful. He'd be on the canvas in under 4

    Yep, he'd do an Adonis Stevenson on him imo.

    Bellew is such a shit winner, it's awful.

    Hahahaha you called it! Should have just let them have it out..

    Haha. was the most entertaining part of the fight. Bellew is so limited it's hilarious. Flores was a bum.

    I wonder if Bellew will be humble in victory hahahaha

    Oh look, Haye's there. Prepare for some WWE antics after Bellew wins, with him pointing from the ring and giving it the "hold me back" routine.

    Have you got your Bellew voodoo doll ready Northern Red?!

    Think you might be disappointed tonight after Flores dived at the weight tbh.

    As for Burns, he's not looked right since that Mexican broke his jaw. Broner will destroy him.

    Agreed, the guy was Raymundo Beltran. As far as Broner is concerned, he is threatening to kill himself on twitter atm, looks like he's having some sort of breakdown. Very sad
